Women have always made sacrifices for beauty but some treatments are so damaging that can cause major health problems.

Among the most controversial treatments and products of the moment are:

The Brazilian straightening (progressive broom, brooms)

There are several types of this smoothing. Using keratin and various concentrations of formaldehyde. The more you use more dangerous is formaldehyde treatment. Formaldehyde is a substance known as a carcinogen, can affect the eyes, severe irritation and reactions.

Formaldehyde is used legally in small amounts in many products. Straightening products or broom (Portuguese and Spanish) has much higher levels than recommended, and no way to know which the true concentration is.

It is a popular treatment to be effective and leave hair shiny, but keep in mind that you are exposed to a substance that can be dangerous. The stronger the smell of formaldehyde is more the product. In almost all salons offer the treatment will tell you that is safe and even natural and most likely is not.

Infections

To avoid this you can bring your instrument or ask your nail technician to sanitize their instruments, but the latter is unreliable and your instruments may be dirty too. Looking for a clean room or ask that you do not cut the cuticles, which is the greatest risk.

Heavy metals

Some cosmetics contain small amounts of lead. Lead is dangerous in any amount. Two lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris, a Dior lipstick and a Cover Girl were those who had higher levels in one study.

The metal mercury is also a danger and has been found in the mask.

States that any product containing lead or mercury so there is no way around it. Natural brands such as Aveda, Jurlique and others are less likely to contain it.

Very cheap

It should be very wary of mesotherapy treatments, growth hormones, surgery, fillings (shots) and so on. That promise great results but the ads emphasize the price.

The substances used in mesotherapy , the Botox , collagen wrinkle fillers and other products have fixed prices and if prices offered are very low could be that they are using substances of lower quality. There have been cases of people who were injected with industrial silicone medical rather than creating serious health complications and deformities.

Find lowest price on haircuts but do not put your life and body in the hands of amateurs or charlatans.
