We’ve long been concerned about keratin treatments, also known as Brazilian Straightening treatments, but shockingly…I still hear keratin treatment “love stories” coming from the mouths of more women than you would even believe!

Just a reminder:

Brazilian Blowout Acai Smoothing Solution and Brazilian Blowout Professional Smoothing Solution have agreed to alert consumers that two of its formulations emit formaldehyde gas, a possible carcinogen, California’s attorney general announced. The company agreed to pay $600,000 in penalties and fines for failing to notify consumers and hair stylists that its products contain chemicals that may cause cancer, and to have the products tested for all toxic substances at a state-approved lab.

Safe styling ladies!

Love Your Hair,

Jane
