Healthy Alternative to Harsh Keratin Smoothing Treatments

As a longtime hairdresser in the industry for more than 30 years, the potentially harmful chemicals in products never concerned me. Yes, I’d seen online research claiming that hairdressers suffer from certain cancers at higher rates than the general population, but there was always countervailing research claiming otherwise. Add the fact that I started in the industry at the invincible age of 17, side effects from toxins in hair treatments weren’t a concern in my mind.

Fast forward decades, yes, unbelievably (to me), decades, and the effects of harmful chemicals is evident everywhere. In the short time we’ve been open, the salon has received a surprising number of calls from chemical-sensitive people inquiring about the products we use.

What really clinched it for me, what finally prompted me to open an entirely organic, toxin and chemical-free hair salon, were the effects certain, very popular, keratin smoothing treatments had on not only clients, but myself as well.

It wasn’t long ago that I, without exaggeration, suffered mightily while performing and receiving this popular keratin treatment. My eyes watered uncontrollably, nostrils burned beyond any reasonable level, and I’d have to walk away from my client while trying to regain my breath.

Finally I started researching alternatives and found an amazing option, not only for keratin treatments, but for all professional treatments and products. At first I was skeptical that these non-toxic products could work as well as the top-of-the -line ones I was used to. I started to slowly integrate first the organic hair color into my personal regime, but soon added KeraGreen smoothing treatment as well. There were no more watery eyes, no more irritated nose and throat, and no more noxious fumes. Best of all, the results were fabulous!
