Breaking News: California’s Injunction Against the Brazilian Blowout
This is major news. Below is the proposed preliminary injunction against the Brazilian Blowout (a.k.a. GIB, Inc.). But first, let’s look at the introduction from the 19-page memorandum that clearly outlines why GIB is in violation of California state laws:
Interesting stuff. It’s a shame that US law doesn’t offer more protection. It would save on incidents like this where both professional stylists and at home users may have been harmed by products they bought in good faith…
@ Jordana……I am a hair stylist and I know for a fact your product contains formaldehyde. I was certified through your website, ordered YOUR product. My first two times doing the service I experienced burning eyes, and nose, and my throat hurt for two days. I also got a sinus infection within a week. You know what the symptoms are to exposure to formaldehyde? ?? Exactly what I listed above. Funny thing is a week after I exposed myself to the poison that is Brazilian Blowout, the reports came out of Oregon that stylists were getting sick. Now here we are with science from real chemists, (not who hire to speak for your company), stating the dangers of this supposed \safe\ product. I hope this lawsuit nails Brazilian Blowouts ass to the wall!!!

Ladies…this is Jon Jay @ Balisimo Salon in downtown Los Altos, CA 650.888.8577.
As I have been advising you for years only Yuko Japanese Reconditioning Treatment is safe, because it is a thioglycolate based service, just like a perm. Nice results, but it’s takes a lot of time and tender loving client care to perform this safe, reliable service.
But… Listen to any MD very carefully…or just ask your family doctor…if you enhale formaldehyde you can contract some form of cancer. Don’t do it….keratin treatments have been scamming hairstylists and their clients with mis-labeled smoothing products for years. Be careful. If your hairstylist advises you to use this and smell formaldehyde gas….they are simply in it for a money grab. Formaldehyde &/or formaldehyde gas causes cancer..this is a known scientific fact! JUST DON’T DO IT, find an alternative.
Hi… i am very concerned now…
I live in Bahrain, and i have just recently had a brazilian blowout done. I went there for a color dye, and asked the stylist if he could suggest any way of straightening my unruly hair without much damage, and he highly recommended brazilian blowout, and said that all these complains about it is nonsense, and it is not a big deal, etc… and i feel so stupid now… coz he even sweet talked me into buying the brazilian blowout hair products, saying that if i don’t use their products after the blowout, my hair would lose its shine, flats, etc… Would my hair fall out as well? Do i dump the conditioner, serum, and mask away? Can anyone, please just advise me????????
