Formaldehyde free Brazilian Keratin

by Candice
(Surrey)

Some of the Brazilian keratin products offered in the US are formaldehyde free and work perfectly. I know because I have had it done and my hairdresser in the US is a distributor for a formaldehyde free product.

I have been bringing the product over to the UK and it is being used by a salon near Croydon in Surrey and taking off well with customers. The biggest problem we've found is finding a distributor of sodium chloride free shampoo!

And what product is that? Do you have a list of ingredients? Are you sure its Formaldehyde free?

Yes I have seen the product details on the bottle and have met the distributor who sells it to my contact in Florida. The product is not with me right now (it's in the salon) so I cannot confirm the exact ingredients.

I have known the person I buy it from for 12+ years and she was my stylist in the US before I moved back here. She also sells a product with formaldehyde in it which is cheaper. The formaldehyde free product is used in a salon which is one of the top ranked in South Florida and they do approx. 6-10 clients every day, and have had no problems or complaints.

Confused about Keratin?
by: J.Fox

It might be formaldehyde-free treatment, but there must be something else that straight the hair and it CAN'T be keratin. I just visited the FAQ section of the website mentioned here and on one point says:

Is this treatment a relaxer ?
"No. It is a treatment based of keratin that naturally straightens your hair".

But Keratin has nothing to do with straightening.
Keratin is just a protein and can't change the structure of the hair. Keratin's role in all these treatments is to coat the hair, which is what gives the hair a shiny, glossy finish.

Hi Anonymous
The product I have been providing to the salon in Warlingham is not available in UK. I bring it back from the US with me. I go approximately every six months which allows me to do this.

Hi J Fox
I'm not a hairdresser so I can't answer your query. However if you contact Donna at straightenmyhair.com she will be able to answer any queries you have.
She's a fully qualified senior stylist in a top Florida salon and understands all the ins and outs of how it works. They are doing this treatment every day and have done it on hundreds, if not thousands, of clients now.
All I know is it works perfectly on my hair and I have naturally curly, very frizzy hair. My hair is also in far better condition now and has excellent shine.

Happy to answer any queries that I can, but technical ones will need to be addressed to Donna as she's the one who provides this product.
I can't stress enough how professional and qualified she is - she would never use a product she didn't believe in herself.
The salon where she works (both as stylist and hairdressing department manager) has been featured in Elle, Vogue, In Style and a variety of beauty and hairdressing magazines in the US. It has received numerous awards for the services they offer. They are a full beauty salon offering hairstyling - including a dedicated section for black ladies hair, all forms of beauty treatment including some very original ideas, botox, make up lessons, bridal treatments, specialist Jewish therapies and much much more.
They have two salons in the Fort Lauderdale area - one of which is located in the prestigous Seminole Hard Rock Hotel, the other a specially built salon where more than 150 staff are employed.

I am pregnant and i don't know if this treatment will cause any harm to my baby ?

Of course it is not the Keratin doing the straightening. Formaldehyde-Free products use another aldehyde. Look at your MSDS, and check out the known irritants. ALL these products MUST be used with ventilation, and masks. Not ones for particulates, ones for gasses. Just like "no-Lye's" chemical cousins, these products require the same cautions as ones with formaldehyde.

And they should never be used ON or BY anyone pregnant or with asthema!

Global keratin is the one we use in our salon, and we use the formaldehyde free one they have the products on the bottle. Hope this helped you
