so the word on the street is: Brazilian Blow Outs* are toxic and then some. (great, i did one pregnant. oy). so what to do about super frizzy, damaged hair?
keratin, keratin, keratin.
i popped into The Private Room, the adorable little boutique salon in BH where the Tina Dizon, the sweetest, warmest, no BS owner/stylist meet me and my frizz head-on and promised to salvage it sans cancer causing chemicals.
enter the KERATIN EXPRESS treatment. while it would not give me those gorgeous silky straight locks of Brazilian days of yesteryear, it would restore my fried ends and take my hair healthy, more silkier place, and with the infusion of Keratin, from the inside out. and this it did. my hair is looking 80 percent better now and it's been three weeks since. and while i am still desperate for some silky-frizz-free straightening, Tina assured me the next treatment we will do, now that my damaged hair is more restored, will take me close to the stick straight look those formaldehyde drenched days, but totally chemical free. i've already booked my next appt. i'm also eager for a trim from her as i could tell from my amazing blow dry that she has a fab hand and eye.
while Tina is known for her sought-after for her "Ballet" Extensions, an exclusive application technique that involves detailed artistry and custom prep work and a duo-fusion process she does it all, color, cut and restorative treatments.

* Most Brazilian treatments (BKT) contain as much as 2% formaldehyde, and many treatments can contain higher percentages than that. Now there are many Keratin Treatments that are Formaldehyde Free. Formaldehyde is a carcinogenic, and used in this application as a volitile liquid (quick drying) component to keep the keratin compound in liquid form, which dries once you have applied it to the hair. Formaldehyde is an acceptable additive in cosmetic use but the FDA doesn’t have to approve cosmetic products as they do drugs.
