Oh, You Fancy Huh?

0 Comments
It’s that time of the year where your social schedule is packed with events to celebrate all merry and bright! New dresses, haute shoes, and maybe a little something extra for your hair? Hair accessories are a great way to glam up a look or to revamp a simple dress that you may have worn before. From feather clips to velvet headbands to embellished clips - the options are endless.
My personal favorite are bejewled hair combs. They are easy to use, simply push hair back (away from the face or tuck behind your ear) and insert comb, smaller combs work better in pairs. Get creative ladies, express your unique personal style…I’ve seen some natural haired fashionistas create a funky mohawks with combs!
I’d love to see your Holiday Hair ladies, visit the Jane Carter Solution Facebook Page and post your pictures.

Brazilian Blowout & FDA Concerns

0 Comments

Some hair salons are starting to take precautions against possible formaldehyde in hair
straightening products like the Brazilian Blowout.

Concerns that the popular hair smoothing solution, known generically as Brazilian or Keratin treatments, could expose hair stylists to health risks. Investigations into the product in the United States and Canada led to product being pulled from shelves in Canada along with a warning issued to
stylists and consumers who used it. In the US, the FDA and Federal Trade Commission are still conducting their investigations.

Stories of those who have suffered ill effects from the Brazilian Blowout started in 2007, including an article in Allure magazine piece titled “Scared Straight”. The magazine collected samples of the treatments and them to an FDA-registered lab for testing where it was determined that they contained ten times more formaldehyde than the .2 percent that is determined to be safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, exposure to large amounts of the chemical can cause serious health problems, including cancer.

OSHA, the agency responsible for workplace safety and health, issued an alert warning September 30, 2010 that samples of the Brazilian Blowout and Acai Professional Smoothing Solution (both sold by the same company) contained between 4.85 and 10.6 percent formaldehyde. When Canada’s health agency tested Brazilian Blowout, it found 12 percent formaldehyde.

BEWARE and do your homework on all new products ladies!
