Smooth locks are a dream of many. Smooth hair makes styling easier, saving time in the morning when getting ready.
Salon owners and stylists have voiced concerns regarding the safety of hair smoothing products containing formaldehyde. The FDA continues to communicate with consumers regarding these products and assesses them individually.
Keratin Treatment
Keratin treatments are one of the most sought-after hair smoothing services at salons. Not only do they work wonders on straight locks, but it’s also effective at de-frizzing curly or wavy hair to make it more manageable and less frizzy – plus this permanent treatment lasts about three months!
Your stylist will first use a clarifying shampoo to remove any product build-up that might interfere with keratin treatment, before applying the keratin solution in small sections and combing through each strand evenly for even coverage.
Traditional keratin treatments contain formaldehyde, which is an invisible yet pungent gas known to cause cancer in humans. Many salons now provide safer keratin treatments using methanal and methylene glycol to release the keratin into hair shafts for up to three months of silky-smooth results that last. These types of treatments are an excellent solution for damaged or color-treated locks.
Smoothing Enzyme Therapy
This revolutionary hair smoothing technique is suitable for all types of hair. Made of completely natural ingredients like tannin and fruit enzymes, this smoothing technique uses tannin to smooth and repair damaged or bleached tresses without formaldehyde or glyoxylic acid being present; therefore it is safe for colored and bleached tresses alike! In addition, hydrating strengthens and softens it for easier styling – providing an alternative to Keratin treatments!
Tannic Acid combined with fruit enzymes works to straighten, recondition, and produce silk-like hair results, lasting up to six months – twice the longevity of traditional Keratin treatments.
Great for anyone seeking to drastically reduce frizz and hair fuzziness, the results from Brazilian Blowout treatments can last long-term, reducing blow-dry styling time by as much as 50%. Customizable treatments like Brazilian Blowouts don’t contain harmful formaldehyde that may damage hair during treatment – and can even be washed out straight afterwards! It also offers much safer alternatives without harmful formaldehyde build-up in their formulations compared to Keratin treatments which do contain harmful formaldehyde – perfect for all hair types and texture types!
Brazilian Blowout
Brazilian Blowout has quickly become one of the most sought-after salon treatments since it first hit stores in 2006. This quick and straightforward treatment produces straighter, easier-to-manage hair with reduced frizz for a radiant shine that makes styling simpler.
However, Brazilian blowout products often contain formaldehyde which may lead to hair and scalp reactions. Formaldehyde is a chemical which releases toxic fumes when heated and can even lead to cancer in longer term exposure.
Additionally to avoiding these chemicals entirely, it’s wise to find a stylist certified to perform this service. Certified stylists must undergo extensive training and use different products than advertised; specifically those without formaldehyde. Moreover, during treatment they must wear face masks in order to protect their skin; ChemRisk tested both Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution and Coppola Keratin Complex which produced formaldehyde levels over 700% higher than legal limits set in Canada and the US.
