Interested in a Brazilian Blowout or similar straightening system? Might want to read some info below before exposing yourself to these awful chemicals. I just looked all this up! :( “If you are utilizing any solution containing more than .1% Formaldehyde, or you are exposed to more than .1 parts per million, OSHA regulations specify that you must have proper training. It is also considered a carcinogen, and also a possible mutagen and teratogen. Symptoms: if you have experienced nose/throat irritation, heavy tearing of the eyes, this means you have been exposed to concentrations of formaldehyde that are considered to be hazardous to your health. (University of Washington) This is something hairdressers and clients should take into deep consideration when performing/receiving “specialty” straightening systems, such as the popular Brazilian Blowout. My salon does not carry any form of these dangerous treatments, but hopefully this information will deter any clients or other hairdressers from these. There are healthier and safer systems out there do your research please! Products OSHA Says Contain Formaldehyde or that can expose you to formaldehyde during use, even though they may not list formaldehyde on their labels or MSDSs: Brazilian Blowout, Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, Professional Brazilian Blowout Solution, Cadiveu, Brasil Cacau, Acai Therapy, Copomon/Coppola, Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment Blonde, Express Blow Out, Marcia Teixeira, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, Advanced Brazilian Keratin Treatment, Chocolate Extreme De-Frizzing Treatment, Soft Gentle Smoothing Treatment, Soft Chocolate Gentle Smoothing Treatment Be safe friends, its not worth risking your health!
