In keratin treatments, it's responsible for locking the hair into that new straight and smooth position for months. But these treatments don't actually contain formaldehyde, because, well, it's a known carcinogen. What they contain instead is ingredients like methylene glycol, formalin, methanal, and methanediol, that release the carcinogenic compound when mixed with water during the treatment.
So while the formula might technically be formaldehyde-free, it's not once mixed with water. This poses potential risk not only to you—but also the salon technicians who preform the treatments over and over again in enclosed spaces. Indeed, the CDC lists common side effects to formaldehyde exposure include sore throat, nose bleeds, and scratchy eyes.
The U. Food and Drug Administration FDA also warns about potential health hazards for those exposed and notes that formulas and products that claim they're natural, organic, or formaldehyde-free may not be entirely true.
The FDA encourages people to always read the label, ask hair professionals for an ingredient list, and to report any and all bad reactions. These so-called keratin treatments can also do a lot of harm to your hair over time. Fitzsimons says because these treatment require high-heat to lock your hair into place, he wouldn't recommend it for those with super-fine or damaged hair. If you're looking for a less-damaging, truly formaldehyde-free treatment, ask your salon if they use a treatment containing glyoxylic acid instead.
They don't straighten hair as dramatically they're more for boosting shine and fighting frizz , but they're also a lot safer. The cardinal rule of keratin treatments is to stay away from water and ponytails for at least three days.
You don't want to risk creating a bend in your newly-straightened hair. Fitzsimons says the key to maintaining your treatment for as long as possible is using a sulfate-free shampoo on the days you wash your hair.
For those with natural curls, Taylor says not to wet your hair for three days. She also recommends using sodium chloride-free hair products and to wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf or pillowcase to keep the moisture locked in your hair as the treatment can cause your hair to dry out faster. She says that treatments can last up to six months, but does caution that it might impact your curl pattern permanently.
But most importantly, Fitzsimons says to consider a few key things before booking that appointment. Some are stronger than others so you have to figure out the one that works for your body. The same thing goes here, if you know that your hair is REALLY damage or gets frizzy a lot, you need a stronger smoothing therapy.
Another thing is feeling. I always feel like Brazilian hair treatments always are wearing off earlier than I expected. Keratin Complex has the perfect different types of products that can make this happen.
And they have different product and smoothing treatments based on what your hair type is. After my keratin treatment my hair has an orange tint. Do you agree? I agree, because the treatment will lock the color.
However, it would be a good idea to color slightly darker than your desired shade, because the treatment can have a mild lightening effect. You explained that the Brazilian blowout is customizable depending on the desired effect. Can you explain this in more detail? Would that mean if more product was applied to the hair and may be left on for a longer period of time that it is possible to achieve a result that leaves the hair straighter, similar to the results from the Keratin treatment?
The flat ironing stage is most important for achieving flexible results. To get your hair straighter, your stylist will divide your hair into a smaller section, apply higher heat, take multiple passes over the same section of hair, and also apply more tension. If you want to keep your curls and just eliminate frizz and cut down styling time, your stylist will divide your hair into larger sections, use lower heat settings, and use fewer passes over each hair section.
I have an oval-shaped face skinny cheeks. Both treatments bring life to dull and lifeless hair, a keratin treatment also enhances the health of your hair as it is a protein-based treatment. Hydrolyzed keratin penetrates deep into the cuticle and bonds with it during treatment, strengthening your hair from within. Please, can you Help I have had Keratin Treatments before? This time round I went, my hair was washed then the product applied it was Purple in color I was advised this was to help with the tone of my hair!!!
I washed it after the 3 days to find the next day dry frizz!! I was always led to believe that no toner should be used before Keratin Treatment but to use it while having this treatment I am not sure what I should do my hair looks quite bad and was not in need of toner. My stylist was doing a mini version of the keratin treatment for about 8 months then she dumped me.
My new stylist only does the Brazilian blowout but I wear my hair curly most of the time. Any suggestions? If you have previously used a no-lye relaxer but want to transition into one of these two treatments which are the best choice — Keratin or Brazilian? My results using a regular strength no-lye relaxer changes what would be bulky wave into soft no frizzy med-loose curls that easily blow-out to totally smooth without the need to use a flat iron.
The biggest reason I think I need a change is my rather sudden need to color so regularly I went from a bit of grey all of which was on the crown of my head to a ton more grey which has also begun infiltrating my hairline. Hi, I just had the keratin Treatment done two weeks ago, and my scale is very dry and itchy.
Now I have dandruff and I have never had dandruff in my life. I love the way the keratin treatment looks and feels. Any suggestions. Consult your doctor for medical advice about your dandruff problem. You can try an anti-dandruff shampoo that is free of sodium chloride and sodium laureth sulfate. So, what's the difference between the two, and which one should you get? InStyle turned to Christina B. Brazilian blowouts and keratin treatments essentially have the same effect on hair: both eliminate frizz and boost shine.
They're safe for all hair types and can be done on color-treated hair. However, Brazilian blowouts are more customizable. What this means is that if you don't want your hair completely straight, your stylist can tailor the treatment so that your natural hair texture isn't completely lost. They'll still seal the treatment with a degree flat iron, and you'll still have smooth, voluminous waves when they're all done. The other way the treatments vary is in their downtime.
