The New York Times /AP (4/13, A19, Subscription Publication) reports that on Monday, regulators from the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that “a popular hair smoothing treatment called Brazilian Blowout can release unsafe levels of formaldehyde, posing a risk to salon workers and customers.” OSHA officials “also said they have found the chemical in some hair products that are labeled ‘formaldehyde-free,’” and are now “investigating complaints about the products.”Check with your stylist and find out what they’re using on you before getting exposed.

I’m a pretty known hair stylist in Boca Raton Fl, And I use the Natura Organic Formaldehyde-Free Hair Treatment System. I think it’s absolutely the best in the market. It leaves outstanding results and even after the treatment has washed away it will leave your hair in a way healthier condition then it was before. Not to mention its certified organic by the FDA. Its best to do the treatment within 72 hours of dying your hair because the product can more deeply penetrate the hair cuticle. You start off by deeply washing the hair with the Natura Clarifying Shampoo to remove all the natural residues from the hair. Then, you towel dry the hair so that is 70% dry leaving it damp, and apply the Natura Organic Keratin Treatment to the damp hair a half inch from the scalp. Leave it in for 15 min, Blow dry 100% dry with medium heat not high so you don’t seal the product before ironing, Then you proceed to flat iron the hair at 450 degrees Fahrenheit in order to seal the keratin onto the hair, with a 48 hour period your client should refrain from any hair restraints what so ever, and should also wait to wash the hair for a period of 72 hours.
