New poster. Brazilian Blowout is only ONE BRAND. It's had problems since the beginning.
Use Peter Coppola. Made in the United States.

When Oregon OSHA tested more than 100 samples of various salon hair-smoothing products (after receiving stylists' reports of breathing problems, nosebleeds, and eye irritation), they found some of the highest levels of formaldehyde—almost 12 percent—in a Brazilian Blowout formula that was labeled "formaldehyde-free." Numerous other products had formaldehyde concentrations of anywhere from 1 to 7 percent. The FDA says it's in the process of investigating Brazilian Blowout "and similar products."

what do you love about it? my hair is very thick and coarse and medium curly. I'm curious to try it, but not unless it gets my hair basically completely straight out of the shower with minimal blowdrying. is that what it does?
That's what it's done to mine. Five minutes of blow drying with my fingers and it's straight and fizz free but with body. I have it done twice a year.

I did it and it changed my life. My hairdresser comes over and does it outside so less fumes.

i think the concern is more for the stylist than the consumer because they are exposed to it on a regular basis....

I would never get a keratin treatment. Your hair will look amazing, but there have been a lot of really alarming reports on formaldehyde exposure because of these treatments.
