Hey ladies!!

I know that this video talks about the Brazilian Keratin Treatment, but there is more to learn about other Formaldehyde releasing chemicals that are in products.... including the ever loved ORS products.....

Actually, the reason I stopped using ORS first was because I found out that Hydatonin DMHM releases formaldehyde at more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit... I was using this stuff under HEAT!!!

ouch!

anyways - y'all judge for yourselves....

This thread is just about knowledge - not judgment. I am 40, and I have not eaten red meat for 21 years, been natural for almost 10 years, and I want to reduce every risk I can for cancer - or any other major health problem. I am not militant either....but I try to take care of my self. I have some weight to lose and I am trying to take Better supplements, and eat right….

My brother died of Leukemia at 10 yrs old, and Grandmother had a massive heart attack from bad habits. I figure anything I can do to turn things into me living healthy - I am gonna do it. But there may be others out there wondering why they are getting headaches, why they are sick, etc... then - lo and behold - it is their hairstuff....

I am never going back to these products, and I have used lots of it in the past.

The DMDM Hydatonin is SO HIGH on the PRODUCT LIST!!!! that is my problem.

Really, couldn't they make this stuff without this??????

Further down the list... but still present.......


What is the rest of this stuff??? I know many of them but - you have to have a Chemisty degree for the rest. I am sure someone does out there!!!


WARNING! this is not a bash to anyone who uses this or any other product line. It is only KNOWLEDGE.
Like lots of Black women outside of the forum, stylists, etc, I encounter, they just don't want to hear that all that heat, all the chems, and all these products will Jack your whole world up. They insist that the Petroleum,or Paul Mitchell, or Cheapo Crap, a tight set o' braids, a fresh PERM - SUPER DUPER STRAIGHT with hairspray will have no adverse effects.........

......And they wonder why they are bald dependant on wigs....

Sadly, I think there will be people who have gone to desparate extremes that will end up bald....due to Toxic buildups....Just my opinion...


I am also passionate about this because I have 3 friends barely 40 years old, who had Breast, or ovarian cancer STAGE 3. If the doctors had not caught it in time, they would be dead.

Don't tell me this stuff is not contributing to our health problems among black women....


Take Care! Be well Ladies!

Blessings.....

I wouldn't go that far without looking at other more obvious reasons first but I appreciate your post.
 
Information is power. I appreciate your post. Personally, I have come to use natural products only on my hair, in fact, I try to whip them up myself.

I think that this warning is in line with the overall movement in black hair care/products.
 
That's very interesting because from looking at my products alone, that stuff is in EVERYTHING.... Nexxus, Herbal Essences leave ins, Lotta Body, John Freida products. They appear near last on the list, but they still appear.... Gives on a lot to think about. In a way though, it's soooo hard to predict and prevent disease now a days. The air we breathe living in big cities is almost equivalent to smoking a pack or less of cigarettes a day, even if you have never smoked a day in your life. This is good info, and an interesting thing to heed.
