At Eye Am Hair, we believe you shouldn't have to compromise your health for beautiful hair. When it comes to smoothing and straightening treatments—like the popular "Brazilian Blowout"—there is a hidden chemical you need to know about: Formaldehyde.
What is Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen. In many professional smoothing treatments, it is used to lock the hair into a straight position. The real danger happens when these products are heated with a flat iron, releasing a toxic gas that can be easily inhaled by both you and your stylist.
The Risks Involved
Exposure to these fumes and chemicals has been linked to:
Respiratory issues.
Skin sensitisation.
Increased risks of uterine and breast cancers.
How to Spot the "Hidden" Toxins
Formaldehyde often hides on labels under different names or through "releasers" that produce the gas over time. Look out for:
Methylene Glycol.
DMDM Hydantoin.
Quaternium-15.
Our Promise: We carefully select the safest, premium non-toxic ranges so you can enjoy a smooth finish without the health gamble.
