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:

Brazilian planing (progressive broom)
There are several types of this straight. They use keratin and various concentrations of formaldehyde. The more we use more dangerous is formaldehyde treatment. Formaldehyde is a substance known as a carcinogen, can affect the eyes, causing irritation and severe reactions.

Formaldehyde is used legally in small amounts in many products. Escova smoothing products or brushed (Portuguese and Spanish) have much higher levels than those recommended and no way of knowing what is real concentration.

It is a popular treatment to be effective and leave hair shiny, but please note that you are exposed to a substance that can be dangerous. The stronger the smell of formaldehyde but has the product. In almost every room offering the treatment will tell you that is safe and even natural and most likely is not.

Infections
In most classrooms there is no proper hygiene and tools can transmit infections To help you carry your tools or ask your nail technique sanitize their instruments, but the latter is not reliable and your instruments may be dirty too. Looking for a clean room or ask you 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 Cover Girl was one of 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 like Aveda, Jurlique, and others are less likely to contain it.

Very cheap
It must be very careful with mesotherapy treatments, growth hormones, surgery, fillings (shots) etc. that promise great results but the ads emphasize the price.

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

Low price for haircuts, but do not put your life and body in the hands of amateurs or charlatans.
