i think beauty is worht the risk for ex. like wearing shoes you love but there a size to small... but im not so sure about putting formaldehyde in my hair thats a big wow...:o i would have never thought anything like this could happen... what women do for beauty...

y would u put formaldehyde in your hair? its used in biology labs to preserve dead animals that are used for dissection. people these days dont think about their safety before they thing about "beauty".

RIP

It won't really matter how good my hair looks when I'm cremated or in a coffin looking pastey anyway.

just plain stupid! why not just go with your natural hair or use a ceramic straightner. (my hair is not naturally straight and it works for me) It is also much cheaper than that!

Just more proof that the chemicals in beauty products are HARMFUL! Say no to chemicals! Say yes to Miessence! Organic beauty products that are truly safe and natural. And they are just as good as the long lasting store bought, actually better in my opinion. At least the mascara doesn't run and i don't get circles under my eyes if i fall asleep with it on. Check it out for youself! www.onecraftykat.mionegroup.com I use most of the products and love 'em! And my skin has never looked better! Blemish free even before my "monthly". Please email me if you have any questions after visiting the site.

That is just plain crazy. What about working with your own beauty? Accepting yourself?

The Japanese process (thermal reconditioning) lasts as long as your hair is on your head, nothing makes it curl outside of a flat iron, and that just slightly. It takes hours to do but then its wash and go. NO Frizz at all. The process is pricey but its worth it if you want to go truly curl free.

My oh my, Girls be careful. I was born with dark brown hair straighter than a stick. Never would I consider even perming to get curly hair again. I hair is stil slick and dark and straight and fits me to a tee even at my senior age. You were born with it and you are a beautiful as you feel inside. Hey you girls, you are all beautiful somewhere. Use those qualities instead of trying the fad things people try to be pretty. Not worth digging a grave to do it. My straight hair is short and easier to manage. You gals with curly hair if you want to straighten it do what the girls did in the 50's and 60's. Put your hair up in big metal rollers after washing stretching your hair over the roller. Let dry naturally and wo-la take them out and run your fingers through the straight strands. Won't last but it is worth the work when you want to be straight.

just plain stupid! why not just go out with your natural hair or use a ceramic straightner! (my hair is not naturally straight but it works for me) It is also much cheaper!

why would they put a chemical in something that you would use on yourself

It is amazing at what lengths people will go to get their hair straight. I ALWAYS research anything that I invest money in and that includes the YUKO straightening process that I had done several years ago which was absolutely wonderful and gave me so much freedom and time.

Considering the fact that I no longer have the resources to go the YUKO route I will stick to the time consuming task of blowing drying my hair straight and finishing with my CHI for a polished look.

Formaldehyde.....hmmmmm....I'll let the professionals use that on me when it doesn't matter anymore (in the grave).

why would they put a dangerous chemical in something we use on our person and sell it on the market?

Fpr years I had my very curly hair tortured straight because I thought it looked more elegant. During those years, no one ever commented on my hair. Eventually, I became concerned about potential damage to my hair with long term use of straightening chemicals, so I stopped straightening it. In the many years since it has grown back to it's natural curl, people are always commenting on what great curls I have and how they wish they had natural curls like mine. It's nice that they say that, but I still wish I had long, elegant, straight hair!

My hair drives me crazy because I always want it board straight and it's wavy . However, I'd much rather wake up an extra 15 minutes early to straighten it and live the rest of my life . Sounds good to me .

Are people nutz?? Why can't we all just be happy with the way God created us?? May the stupid lady RIP.

Doesn't aspartame (artificial sweetener) turn to formaldahyde when we ingest it? Sounds scary to me!

Guess what!? There are harmful chemicals in all cosmetics. Not always as drastic as the hair straightener, but chemicals that over the years are being found out to be harmful. If anyone is looking for an excellent organic/natural alternative, please try miessence. From shampoo that actually cleans with no build up, deodorant(not an antiperspirant) that works, to lip balm that actually healed my son's raw upper lip in one night(he licks his lips when nervous). Check it out at www.onecraftykat.mionegroup.com Just a suggestion.

ok so there a re products on the professional market that do contain FORMALDYDE. But NOT EVERY PRODUCT DOES. Has anyone ever hear of the FDA? Yes, well we in this country have this so that stupid people don't hurt themselves doing stupid things!!! So go straight ladies in the good old USA!!! I teach Cosmetology in NY and know from experence!

WHO SAID STRAIGHT HAIR IS BEAUTY ANY OH WAY!!YOU HAIR IS BEATIFUL IF IT LOOKS RIGHT ON YOU! personally I hate straight hair, and hate when i am asked to do it to people. I find straight flat hair very boring, unflattering, and unclassy on MOST PEOPLE. I have been a cosmetologist for 22 years. I takes a certain face and bone structure to pull it off and lets face it we all aren't cookie cutter faces so let's lose the cookie cutter styles.

Funny there's an ad for vaccines next to this article. Vaccines have fermaldahyde in them, and we pay doctors to inject that right into our children's bloodstream... But hey, as long as we don't put it on our hair we're safe. Huh?
