Legal Brazilian Blowout

After gaining fame in his home country, Brazil, the system has found a base in the United States. Unfortunately this is that much of their health and legal problems began. Allure magazine in 2007 published a paper describing the effects of a carcinogenic chemical products used in treatments brand Brazilian Blowout. It detailed the possible connection between the use of the product and the death of a Brazilian woman who had the treatment. Since its introduction in the United States several lawsuits have been filed against the company. They seek payment of damages caused by use of the products.

In 2010, the state of Oregon safety and Health Administration began receiving complaints from stylists who had been using the product. These people claimed to have suffered nosebleeds, respiratory problems, eye irritation. The Oregon OSHA tests and found formaldehyde levels more than ten percent. There is no legal limit of 0.2 percent concentration of this chemical in cosmetic products.

In August 2011 the Food and Drug Administration published the results of their own tests. These results lead to the FDA to issue a warning letter to the company. The letter asked the company to stop marketing their products as "formaldehyde free" because it is false and misleading.

Brazil's Zero Blowout

The company maintains that its product is absolutely safe, and that the evidence and government regulations are based on faulty evidence and questionable methods.

Regardless of your position, the company launched Zero Brazilian Blowout in the fall of 2011. Zero is a reformulated version of the traditional solution is totally professional straightening plant and does not release formaldehyde at any time during treatment. It is touted as the next wave of Brazilian Blowout products and aims to be as effective as the original system.

These include a Brazilian Blowout shampoo, conditioner, maximize volume, and more. They are intended to be used in conjunction with the process of Brazilian Blowout and claim to prolong the life of each application, continuing to infuse the hair with essential proteins and protection against moisture.
