219: Navigating the Future of Hair Smoothing Amidst Potential Formaldehyde Ban: Risks, Alternatives, and Industry Unity
Send us a Text Message.Imagine your favorite hair smoothing treatments suddenly vanished from salon shelves—what would that mean for you or your trusted stylist? That's the potential future we're unpacking as the FDA considers a formaldehyde ban in hair products. This episode takes a deep dive into the serious health risks associated with formaldehyde, from the immediate effects of skin irritation to the dire long-term consequences like cancer. We also distinguish between the chemistry of hair smoothers affected by the ban and hydroxide-based relaxers that aren't. Sharing personal insights garnered from years in the trenches of the beauty industry, I highlight the critical need for safety and expertise in product application, ensuring stylists and clients are protected from harm.As someone deeply ingrained in the hair care world, I understand the importance of transparency and informed choices when it comes to the products we use. This conversation extends beyond the salon chair to the actions of the Environmental Working Group and their push for clarity about formaldehyde in our hair products since 2011. I advocate for vigilance in reading labels, reporting adverse reactions, and embracing safer alternatives to hair smoothing. Reflecting on the strong bonds and knowledge-sharing within our community, I express gratitude for the support and networking that enrich our industry. Join us as we foster a collective commitment to a healthier, more informed future in hair care.------The first thing you can do as a professional or as a consumer is to check your labels. While the label may say formaldehyde, it may also say formalin (formaldehyde with water) or methylene glycol. If the product you are purchasing does not have a clear label, do not buy and use it.Copy of Proposed BanThe Professional Beauty Association (PBA) published an advisory to the industry on formaldehyde in straightening products in 2008.Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel as well!Subscribe to our Podcast & get mentioned in an upcoming episode!Website: www.danisekeilitz.com YouTube: All About HairShop my favorite Eufora Products.
