Despite Recent Events, Salons Still Offering Brazilian Blowout!
Well, we asked – and you responded! We received numerous emails and contacts through this website since our last post asking if salons are still performing the Brazilian Blowout and if customers are still asking for it and the consensus is that most of you still LOVE the product! Most salon owners responded that they are still offering the Brazilian Blowout. Some salons reported that some of their stylists have chosen not to perform the BB due to health reasons, but the ones that are certified still mostly have at least 1 stylist who can perform the treatment for customers who want it. From the client’s point of view, despite all of the negativity you may see on the Internet, a lot of you still love the product and are still planning on getting it done. The media tends to always “blow” things way out of proportion, and this instance was no different. Despite the fact that BB is now apparently not arguing with the fact that the product has some formaldehyde in it, people don’t seem to mind. Personally, I can’t say I agree with the fact that they denied it for so long and wish they had just been more forthcoming with their ingredients but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and let it slide. The product really is great, and unless you have some sort of allergy to it I can’t see it being too harmful. At least, no more harmful than other comparable things we are exposed to on a daily basis. I’m no doctor or scientist so obviously don’t assume I’m correct here, but that’s just my opinion. 
Now, let’s all try to put this mess behind us and focus on the product as it stands today and not dwell on the past!

Well, seems the tables have turned. Brazilian Blowout is now sueing Oregon,s OSHA department for falsely claiming the product has formaldehyde in it. Apparently OSHA used the wrong equiptment to test for this and has since reversed it’s findings. If you know anything about fruit acids, you know that fruit naturally produces some formaldehyde when exposed to oxygen. Apples sitting on your counter will produce some formaldehyde. Our eyes burn when cutting onions, does this mean it is a health risk to cut onions? Brazilian Blowout does not have formaldehyde in it. The fruit amino-acids may produce a small amount when exposed to oxygen. Not nearly as much as OSHA originally claimed. I think Brazilian Blowout took some terrible losses on a great product before Oregon’s OSHA corrected their original findings.
