What is the formaldehyde and why is the progressive blow-dry containing it condemned?
It’s a substance mainly used fir the conservation of other substances and even tissues (it’s used in biopsies, for example, to avoid the deterioration before the analysis). It can be easily absorbed by the mucosa’s and bring about serious problems to the health of the customer and the hairdresser too. We neither recommend nor approve formulas based on formaldehyde. “If a high concentration of formaldehyde is used in products for hair, the strands can become even more fragile. It damages the cuticle, which is the most external part of the strand, and leaves the cortex, the inner part, very vulnerable to the drying up and fading. When undergone to the heat of the hairdryer or the flat iron, it releases a highly toxic and carcinogenic gas.
