When diving into a conversation about hair straightening products, chemical treatments and relaxers one must first understand what each treatment does, the ingredients used and how to maintain the treatment.
First off, What It Brazilian Keratin Treatment?
This is a hair treatment that softens, shines, straightens and makes hair healthy. The treatment repairs damaged hair as well as prevents future damage from sun and heat. This is not a chemical used to restructure hair, it is a replenishing treatment designed to protect hair and enhance natural shine, with the use of Keratin.
So... What Is Keratin?
What is the difference between Professional Brazilian Keratin Straighteners and Home Use Brazilian Keratin Treatments?
Brazilian Keratin Straighteners: Often Brazilian straighteners claim they do not use formaldehyde (a dangerous chemical that can cause coughing, nausea, skin irritation, and in the long term cancer), but many contain a chemical derivative of formaldehyde called aldehyde. It turns out that this seemingly “safe” chemical is not safe at all, and just like formaldehyde has harmful effects. Some Keratin Straightners do not contain these chemicals, but most do.These treatments often last 2-3 months and are chemical straighteners.
What Is Safe To Use?
After reading about all of the harmful affects of chemicals used in most Brazilian Straighteners and some Treatments, it is hard to know what brands and products are in fact safe.
My favorite product, that is truly chemical free is Tomy B. Plump Brazilian Keratin Home Use System. This product contains no chemicals, is safe and affective in replenishing and protecting hair. This product reconditions and protects the hair from water and heat damage while enhancing natural shine. The keratin formula makes hair smoother, healthier, frizz free and easier to manage.

Brazilian Home Treatments: Home treatments often do not contain the chemicals used in professional use systems. Home treatments are usually safe but be sure to always read the ingredients, and know exactly what chemicals are being used on your hair. These treatments last 4-6 weeks and help overall health and manageability of hair.

Tomy B. has developed a line of hair products called Plump. These are all sulfate-free and should be used along with the Plump Brazilian Keratin Home Use System to maintain the treatment.
