After I read the article of Brazilian Blowout ( hair straightening treatment), this product is not good for for women in U.S., Canada, Portland, and Oregon because it cause shortness of breath, nosebleeds and eye irritation and loss of smell. The reason why it have that because the treatment contains a toxic chemical (carcinogen formaldehydee). On the outside of the product it said that it only have 0.2% and less but the actually it is 6.3%-10.6% of formaldehyde.
I like this article and it interesting to me because I can learn that when I go and buy something like hair straightening treatment don't ever believe the outside of the product said because it not true. This relate to me are when I buy a candy that said only 20% of sugars, but the actually is more than 20%.
From now on, whatever I buy I will be careful what I buy and I will never believe in the outside of the product said. If I have a change to tell to everyone, I would said that every product that they save they have to test it again is it have toxic chemical or not. This article was significant, because it was talking about a product and the tone felt like it praised the product. After reading more, I found out that it talked about the bad side to products that are too good to be true.
