Washes and After-Washes:
-ENERGIZING: designed for hair treated with semipermanent, and demi-permanent hair coloring products. Or for hair treated with permanent hair color shades level seven or darker. Also great for hair which has not been color-treated but is permed or chemically relaxed.

-BALANCING: designed for hair treated with all shades of permanent hair color (alkaline). Contains more moisturizing and fortifying ingredients than the ENERGIZING products, yet never leaves hair feeling "greasy".

-HYDRATING: designed for hair which has been treated with high lift shades of permanent hair color and/or with hair lighteners (a.k.a. 'bleaches). Also great for hair which has been treated with both color and chemical relaxer OR hair which has been treated with both color and permanent wave solution. This is basically for hair which is FRIED, BRILLO PAD, OVER-PROCESSED, BARBEQUED HAIR.

-PRE.WASH THERAPY: A true "E.R. in a jar", this luxurious creme treatment is applied to the dry, porous lackluster hair shaft to strengthen and fortify with proteins AND moisturizers. At home or at the salon, Pre-Wash Therapy is applied to dry hair and left in contact with a damaged or porous hair shaft for fifteen to thirty minutes PRIOR to shampooing. No heat is required.

Styling Products:
-ABUNDANCE: Weightless Volume Expanding Foam

As many of our clients and community know, Emilee's Salon is trying to inform people of the truth behind the Brazilian Blowout. Below are some articles we have come across and some links to provide you with additional information.

Blowing The Whistle On 'Brazilian Blowout' Hair Straightener

A hot new hair product which promises to turn frizzy locks silky and smooth may be making some people sick.

An Oregon hair stylist has prompted an investigation into Brazilian Blowout. Available only in salons, this hair smoothing treatment tames your tresses for about $250 a pop.

Molly Scrutton works at Platform Artistic Salon in Portland, Oregon. She gave the treatment to about 20 clients before she started to feel ill herself. She told the Oregonian her throat hurt, her chest ached and she started to wonder if the new hair product she was using was the culprit.

 

Scrutton started investigating and discovered that other beauticians who suffered similar symptoms had been exposed to dangerous levels of formaldehyde; a chemical the National Cancer Institute calls a cancer-causing substance. (Insert your own bad high school biology class memories of dissecting frogs preserved in the stuff here.)

Brazilian Blowout claimed to be formaldehyde free, but Scrutton was suspicious. She contacted the Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology.

They tested samples of Brazilian Blowout from the Portland salon and found formaldehyde levels between 8.85 percent and 10.6 percent — far higher than the 0.2 percent considered safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel.

Brazilian Blowout of California, the product's maker, claims the hair straightener is 100 percent safe. They commissioned their own study which says formaldehyde levels in Brazilian Blowout are far below what's considered acceptable.

Oregon is sticking to its own studies and is warning salon workers to use the product with caution. The Canadian Government has gone further. Its health agency is warning stylists and consumers not to use Brazilian Blowout.

The FDA has also received complaints and says it will monitor the issue.

In the meantime, using a hair dryer and flat iron to tame your mane may be the safer bet.

here is the link for the above full article:  http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/10/19/130667357/blowing-the-whistle-on-brazilian-blowout-hair-straightener



 The Truth Behind the Brazilian blowout

 The Formaldehyde-Free Brazilian Blowout? Not So Much
What makes Brazilian Blowout different from other "professional smoothing treatments"?

According to their website, it's pretty simple: "The ONLY Professional Smoothing Treatment that improves the health of the hair. No damage! No harsh chemicals! NO FORMALDEHYDE!!" (Emphasis all theirs.) No wonder celebs like Halle Berry and Nicole Richie love it so.

As did our writer Jocelyn, when she tried the process on her naturally curly hair.

So, this is awkward: Samples of the brand's Brazilian Blowout Solution and Acai Professional Smoothing Solution were found to contain dangerously high levels of formaldehyde in a lab analysis by researchers at Oregon Health and Science University's Center for Research on Occupational Environmental Toxicology.

If a product contains more than 0.1 percent formaldehyde, the government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires the manufacturer to list it on a material safety data sheet. The beauty industry's own Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel says that products shouldn't contain more than 0.2 percent formaldehyde. So, just how much formaldehyde did OHSU find in the Brazilian Blowout product samples? A whopping 4.85 to over 10 percent ...

More on what this means, after the jump.

Samples were collected from a Portland, Ore., salon after workers reported difficulty breathing, nosebleeds and eye irritation while using Brazilian Blowout products on customers. Say the OHSU researchers:

The test results coupled with health symptoms reported to us from stylists using the specified hair product raised concerns at CROET because of the potential long-term and short-term impacts of formaldehyde exposure. According to the Centers for Disease Control, formaldehyde can produce a variety of effects including immediate irritation of eyes, skin, nose and upper respiratory tract, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath and wheezing. The major concerns of repeated formaldehyde exposure are sensitization, which is similar to an allergic condition, and asthma in those who have been previously sensitized to formaldehyde. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services has determined that formaldehyde may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen.

We love silky-smooth locks as much as the next chick, but exposing our hair stylists (not to mention our own heads) to a potential carcinogen that can also cause nosebleeds and asthma attacks? Pass. And we're not the only ones: "There's no way I would have done the treatment last summer if I knew it might have still contained formaldehyde," says beauty blogger Nadine Jolie.
It's incredibly disturbing that it's taken salon workers getting sick to expose the fact that popular products contain a suspected carcinogen," says Erin Switalski of Women's Voices for the Earth, an environmental health advocacy group and co-founder of the National Healthy Nail Salon Alliance, a national network of health advocates and researchers working for safe salons.

Which, naturally, has the brand in question in a bit of a lather. They're starting their own investigation and have a statement up online which notes, "Because OSHA did not request a sample from the company directly, there is no reason to believe the formulation tested and found positive was indeed Brazilian Blowout product."

Um, except for where the lab report notes, "This specific product was shipped on 8/31/2009 from Brazilian Blowout and is described as "34 oz/1-Liter Brazilian Blowout Solution."

We'll be straightening our hair the old-fashioned way (flat irons and elbow grease) until this mess is untangled.
