Keratin Hair Treatment Success

I have been struggling with coarse, unruly hair my entire life. No amount of product or straightening device would do the trick, especially once the humidity rose.

In December 2006, I had my hair straightened using the Japanese system. It made my hair stick-straight, bleached the color out, and took months to get a little bit of "lift" back.

In June 2007, I had my first Brazilian hair treatment, and absolutely loved it! I had my hair colored, highlighted, straightened and cut -- all on the same day.

In October I got a frantic phone call from my mother -- "You Must Read Allure magazine this month!". I did, and was not overly concerned. I did not experience the fumes nor the difficulty breathing talked about in the article. The report did not scare me to death, as it was obviously intended to.

When I went back to the salon, just yesterday, I had the formaldehyde-free Keratin Complex treatment. This made Mom happy, but, if the results are not as long-lasting as the Brazilian, I will definitely go back to formaldehyde.

I too had the Keratin treatment and loved it but when I heard about the Formaldehyde I decided to do a little research.

I was told I should do the Keratin Complex b/c it doesn't contain Formaldehyde and I would have the same results. Well, after spending a good amount of money it didn't!! It only lasted about 3 weeks verses the 3 1/2 months with the Marcia one. I was very upset and after complaining to the salon they advised me that they no longer carried that product b/c they found out that the Keratin Complex DOES have Formaldehyde. I guess the company just uses another name for Formaldehyde and it actually contains more then the Marcia one. The salon re-did my hair but ended up going back to the original product I had done.

Beware, as it seems that many companies are now trying to pass one up us!

Coppola Treatment
by: Anonymous

Hi, I just had the Coppola Keratin treatment and I am amazed at my hair. It is so soft and straight. I love it. The only problem is you can not wash your hair for 4 days. The process took 2.5 hours and I would do it again and with what people are saying about the formeldyhede which I spelled wrong, what about what is in color that everybody has been using for a billion years.

WHAT???

I found the first story made sense and was helpful. I can't make any sense out of the 2nd story.

I think everyone should do whatever makes them feel happy and beautiful, as long as the hair stylist explain all the health concerns for each treatment.

Before any treatment, the hairstylist should say something like:

"...This application contain a high level of chemical toxin known as formaldehyde that might have impact on your health and could cause allergy, skin irritation and even cancer in long term exposure. But don't worry, the real risk of using this Carcinogen is for those working with it every day and as you see I am still alive..."
