Coppola Keratin

The Coppola keratin Treatment uses a special bonded aldehyde structure that is built into a special keratin protein. Just as water is safe but is made from two poisonous and dangerous chemicals, so is the the Coppola, Cystine-aldehyde bond.
The molecule is neither an aldehyde nor a direct keratin. It is a combination that is safe. So just as water is made up of two molecules, that on their own can be bad, the Coppola keratin is safe and has no free aldehydes at all. That is why when ironed, no fumes or burning is experiences. You see water does not burn, but hydrogen and oxygen do burn.
The Brazilians on the other hand do not have this technology. They simply flood their product with formaldehyde. That is the same as a chemist who tries to make safe water but has excess hydrogen floating in it.

I would love more info. about the aldehyde structure. I just had the coppola keratin treatment done yesterday. I'm very excited about the results although I haven't yet washed my hair. My concern is that my eyes and throat were burning during the treatment. I then felt nauseas all day - actually I still don't feel quite right. I'd be very disappointed if I love my hair but can't continue to do the treatments if they really aren't safe - how safe can it be if this is the way I'm feeling?
I had the Coppola Keratin treatment yesterday and I too am experiencing a burning sensation in my throat and slight nausea. I don't see how this treatment can possibly be safe!
My friend had a new keratin treatment done yesterday. Her texturist (on Long Island, NY) called Coppola and asked for a list of ingredients. She sent the info to a chemist and formaldehyde is released when the aldehyde is heated to 450. This texturist refuses to use the Coppola Keratin treatment. I'm not sure of the name of the treatment she uses but my friend's hair looked as smooth as mine (we'll see how long it lasts and how well it holds up) and she experienced no reaction. I plan to speak with this texturist to find out more info. I will post the info.
I had this particular treatent. After the first wash, my hair start falling out easily, with no provocation, by the handsfull. It has been two weeks, and still falling out. I can see the hair follicle. I called the company and they said that it is not due to their product. They did say that their will be breakage. I also told them the strands of my hair are alot thinner. They said that is what happens. So, I went from thick head of thick hair to thinning hair of very thin strands... and its not even straight. After four washes, the texture is reutrning to its normal texture, except alot less of it!!!! coppola said to see my doctor for the hair loss, it is not due to their product. I said that it started immediately after the treatment, and has never happened before, and my lifestyle (food, stress, medication) has not changed. Also, I had no signs of allergic reaction, like burning or itching.
I had the treatment 6 weeks ago. Coppola was the name of it. At first I loved it. Did everything right didn't wash or put any clips or got it wet. I have been losing hair by the handfuls. My scalp is itchy, all the time. I'm really worried. I used to have alot of hair now Im almost bald!!!!! What can i do? I'm freaking out!!!! Please help!
