BEAUTY INDUSTRY TOXICS?

I just came from the San Juan Beauty show, Which by the way is not much different than the IBS in New York. I find it to be overly priced, instead of a significant emotional experience is an abuse to the Puertorican market. The "Nanokeratin", "Brazilian Keratin Treatment" and the "Nanoqueratina del Caribe" had a fierce competition. One... offering to exchange equipment with the salon promising to buy at least every two months the supply for the treatment. The Other selling the one box of six treatments at $250.00. The complete system at $900.00 with compressor and one box of treatment. Now If I was to buy this product I would have to inflate the price of service to $120.00 for a short hair client. Someone with shoulder length is looking at $280.00 and up. Now... what they all failed to inform the Professionals purchasing these systems is if a client has a chemical service such as color on a monthly basis the treatment will deactivate! Or shampoo's with SODIUM CHLORIDE will also strip the keratin from the strand of hair! Try finding a shampoo without this ingredient in it.

This occurs with all of the Keratin treatments, regardless of brand. Some "Formaldehyde Free" Brazilian Keratin Treatment contains 2% Ether!, which is an anesthetic with side effects such as nausea and lung irritation. Now, I did purchased the nanokeratin treatment by "Tanagra"www.tangra.com.br I like it so far... but still take caution by wearing a mask, Then again I do the same when I use my airbrush tanning solution. Let's face it all of the chemicals in our industry will eventually cause some trauma to our lungs we are the ones more exposed to these vapors. A client might be exposed to it temporarily but we are there day in day out.
Till next time.
