keratin madness
I have seen many things hit the Beauty market with force. But I have never seen such and uproar over anything on the Internet. The Brazilian keratin treatments has been such a topic of discussion that I decided to create this blog and get everything link on it just to send people to it. I am constantly answering questions and concerns over toxins, longevity of process, can it be done on my hair? It is so much that I am going to start collecting everything I find on the net about the Keratin treatments that's out there and the once to come. So... stay tuned the saga continues.

Keratin treatments for smoothing and straightening hair often utilize either formaldehyde or
glutaraldehyde. And, both are potentially harmful if safe limits are exceeded for prolonged periods.
Formaldehyde has an OSHA “action limit” which requires operators to receive special
training, monitoring and wear personal protective gear if exposure exceeds 0.5 ppm.
Glutaraldehyde containing products (often sold as “Formaldehyde-Free”) create even more
potentially hazardous vapors, which is why California OSHA has set the legal maximum
inhalation limit for gluteraldehyde at 0.2 ppm, less than half that of formaldehyde.
Without the proper ventilation cosmetologists may be over exposed to excessive levels of
either formaldehyde or gluteraldehyde vapor.
Repeated overexposure to either formaldehyde of glutaraldehyde vapors can cause upper
respiratory tract irritation, difficulty breathing, occupation-related asthma and other
related symptoms, e.g. skin allergic sensitivity or burning/watery eyes.
When used properly, the Aerovex Systems’ Chemical Source Capture system* can help
reduce a cosmetologists exposure to safe levels.
An even greater measure of safety can be obtained by using one or more of the
Aerovex Systems’ Room Air Purifiers to further scrub these potentially harmful
vapors from the air and create a more healthful salon environment.
Using a Aerovex Systems’ Room Air Purifier in conjunction with the Chemical Source Capture
System further reduces the potential for overexposure and helps ensure that all salon workers
are prevented from accidentally overexposing themselves to many common vapors and dusts
found in the salon.
* Aerovex Systems' Chemical Source Capture System has been tested by internationally known scientific
expert Doug Schoon of Schoon Scientific and was found to be an effective means for lowering exposure
to safe levels.
