What is the natural texture of your hair, coarse or fine, and the natural curl pattern? Was there any change at all? For instance, did you want all the curl gone, and it was just half-gone, or what? There are different methods, even with the same product, for keeping curl but losing frizz, or going totally straight. Maybe your stylist needs to try another method with the same product. – razorkittee 70 I had this process done three weeks ago. My hair is not breaking, but the process did not work. Not sure if it was done incorrectly, although I think the stylist did all the right things since I watched a video before I had it done and he did everything just the way the video showed. – anon92453 69 I am hoping that someone with sound knowledge in this area will discuss it with me, either in this forum or via email, preferably another stylist or someone with extensive chemistry and/or product background.

Is it safe? Could it cause skin allergy or anything? – anon57010 Related topics 52 Global Keratin does not cause cancer. The FDA states that formaldehyde is what may be causing cancer and although most Global Keratin treatments contain formaldehyde there are some Global Keratin companies that offer formaldehyde free formulas. Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer when ingested. There is formaldehyde in everything (canned food, nail polish, dry wall, carpet). Unless you are eating the Global Keratin treatment, you are safe! And if you are still skeptical, use a formaldehyde free formula. If you are getting irritated by a Global Keratin treatment you are using, you might be over saturating the hair or using one of the treatments that smoke when you dry. I would suggest trying to use a bit less when you do the treatment or try another formula that is used on wet/damp hair(you will still get some some vapor but anything wet when applied heat will give you a bit of steam. If worst comes to worst, try using a fan to blow away the smoke. – lvichot5 50 What is the source of the Global Keratin used in hair straightening processes? – anon53197 49 i want to make Global Keratin free from formaldehyde, but does the Global Keratin cause cancer? and does it affect me if i am preparing myself to get pregnant? please advise me. – anon52541 Related topics 48 Global Keratin doesn’t cause cancer. there are a lot of companies out the selling this product. – anon48081 47 hi, i had Global Keratin done two weeks ago. i am nursing. can this harm my baby? how can it harm him? – anon45434 46 hi, i am a hairdresser. i was thinking if using Global Keratin really causes cancer. anyway while working i feel my eyes burning, and the smell is really bad! can you advise me? – anon45161 Related topics 45 I need to know the side effects of using Global Keratin.

My hair was blonde, pretty and processed blonde. My hair would break each and every time I washed it or it was washed at the salon!

My gray roots (at 40) are coming in, I hate the dark color, I cannot go light and my hair has 2-2 1/2″ of splitting….now the salon wants to add extensions! Wrong. Leave your hair alone. Blow it out yourself. Who cares. Just don’t use this “stuff”. MAYBE it works on natural hair, without color or heat, but I still wouldn’t do it. I wear hats now and I feel so sad. I no longer have my long, blonde, sexy, healthy hair…..not by a long shot. – anon24237 Related topics 23 My wife wants to take the 6 month Global Keratin treatment and is worried that it causes cancer or have after effects.
