Salon Alert

If employees are wearing masks in your hair salon – BEWARE.

The next time you visit the hair salon – check to see if they’ve got fans going or are wearing surgical masks. Keratin treatments are getting really popular in some salons. It makes your hair super silky. The problem is the active ingredient in keratin – formaldehyde. Long term exposure is really bad – but even short term exposure can be a problem. It causes skin or scalp rashes in some people when it’s applied to the head. Even if you’re not the one getting the treatment – you could wind up with burning eyes, nose or throat if you’re sitting next to someone who is.
