A popular technique

Invented for almost ten years, the Brazilian straightening technique is gaining more and more popularity. Thanks to this process, wavy and curly hair becomes smooth and shiny. The application lasts on average 90 minutes, which is relatively short considering the type of treatment. The results are very satisfactory and people whose hair was previously difficult to style are increasingly resorting to this technique.

Formaldehyde: a danger

The popularity of Brazilian straightening has led expert groups to assess the potential dangers that this technique can pose to hair and health in general. In some products used for straightening, formaldehyde has been detected. However, formaldehyde is considered by several health agencies to be potentially carcinogenic. It can, among other things, attack the central nervous system and cause allergies .

Formalin is often used to fix keratin in the hair. It is therefore essential to opt for a Brazilian straightening treatment based on products without formaldehyde. Creams that contain formaldehyde should be avoided, especially for pregnant women. Children should also avoid going to hair salons that offer Brazilian straightening with formaldehyde.

Brazilian straightening without formaldehyde

There are ways to apply a Brazilian straightening in a completely natural and safe way for your health .

Some things to know:

  • Hair will be just as shiny, even though the product does not contain formaldehyde.
  • Damaged and dull hair gains shine
  • Formalin does not provide additional hair care.
  • It is the other components of the product that improve the health of the hair

As Brazilian straightening without formaldehyde is safe for health, its use is recommended. It is a gentler treatment, very effective and brings a long-lasting effect on difficult to style hair.

Most of the ingredients in the composition of the Brazilian straightening without formaldehyde are natural and can therefore be applied safely. An ingredient like jojoba, for example, in addition to improving the treatment, stops hair loss and rebalances oily hair. This ingredient also helps to restore suppleness and shine to damaged hair.

Another important ingredient included in the treatment is glycolic acid. It makes hair silkier and more flexible while making it more resistant. Smoothing is facilitated and cell renewal is accelerated. Murumuru butter, keratin, plant collagen and hyaluronic acid are also among the elements that promote hair shine in a natural way.

KIT LISSAGE BRÉSILIEN

J'ai 53 ans, je me demande pourquoi j'ai attendu autant de temps pour tester ce genre de technique. Je suis ravie du résultat, d'autant que je n'ai pas perdu totalement l'épaisseur de mes cheveux et qu'ils n'ont pas pris l'aspect "baguettes" que je redoutais.
Bon, moi c'était ma première fois, mais quand même, faire le traitement seule, je suis très sceptique... Je suis heureuse qu'un ami coiffeur ait proposé de m'aider. Je ne pense pas que j'aurais obtenu un tel résultat sans lui, et j'aurais peut-être même un peu paniqué sur le sujet de : "ne pas mettre de produit sur le cuir chevelu"....
