I’m a hairdresser in Orange County that does the Brazilian Blowout and I just wanted to let you all know it doesn’t have formaldehyde in it. They actually use plant based extracts. That’s why it doesn’t stay straight forever through the ends. Also that’s why the hair is so conditioned after the treatment. There are no harsh fumes, if anything it’s a little like the smell of hair color on your head. This is why the FDA approved this treatment and not the other brazililan straightening.

PS. It does work on nappu black hair. You just have to have your hairdresser “soften” you hair up.

Hi! I am a swedish hairdresser and a big fan of the brazilian blow dry (+mask), but it can give you cancer. The steams from formaldehyd witch is used to make the hair observe the ceratine can give you cancer. And it says loud and clear on the product lable for both hairdresser och customer to use a mask when using the product. When inhailing the steams it can give you cancer in you upper lung part. Just the messenger..

I know what you’re talking about! I have curly hair too, and actually did get a straight perm when I was 14, and it made my hair fall-out! I use to have extremely thick hair, it is now 1/2 as thick as it was! I use to hate how thick and curly it was when I was younger, but now miss it so much! I definitely learned my lesson. At the same time that I love my curls (it’s easy to just wash/go), I do like it straight sometimes, or just a little wavy, I love your waves Nicole! So I think I would really like to try this hair treatment! To the previous post of using a Keratin based treatment, I think that is what Nicole said she uses? So it should be safe.

Hi nicole,

FYI – Allure had an article on Brazilian Blow Outs! These products contain Fermaldehyde.
Fermaldehyde causes cancer! It’s not even legal in Brazil anymore but people still tend to use it.
The United States only allows 0.2 percent of fermaldehyde in any produces used in the salon and most of the Brazilian hair straightening uses anywhere from 4.0 percent to 20 percent!!!

i think someone already posted about this but the brazilian treatment has formaldehyde in it, which can cause cancer and is also used in embalming fluid to preserve dead bodies. If you can find anyone with Coppola’s Keratin Complex Treatment that would be a better bet its does exactly the same thing it just has the ingredient aldahyde in it which is an organic compound and in other words safe. So its just food for thought.

Nicole i love the way your loose waves look.
I have been trying to get the look for soooooooo long.
But nothing works.
I have a chi flat iron, because i read somewhere that’s how you’ve been getting loose waves with a flat iron. Is there anyway you can do a video, or something that describes how you get the waves in your hair.
I would appreciate it so much.
You’re my idol <3
Thanx,
Alyssa :]
