WHAT ARE THE MALFUNCTIONS THAT FORMOL CAUSES TO YOUR HAIR AND YOUR HEALTH



Progressive Brush with Formol:

Many people, in the search for permanently smooth hair, end up carrying out the so-called progressive brush with formalin. However, this method used by many hairdressers can cause serious damage not only to the hair, but also generates many risks to the health of the professional and the client.


 That is why Anvisa (National Sanitary Surveillance Agency) banned the use of Formol in this hair treatment. To understand the seriousness of this issue, let us look at the chemical structure of formaldehyde and the consequences of its use.


Formol, also known as formaldehyde, is an organic compound belonging to the aldehydes group. Its molecular formula is CH2O and its official nomenclature is metanal. Its main use is as a preservative of corpses and corpses, but it is also used as a preservative in rubber, adhesives, jellies and juices, production of some chemicals, confection of artificial silk, glasses, mirrors, dyes and explosives.



        
   Structural Formula of Formol (Methanal)

Its use as a raw material for cosmetic preservatives is released with a maximum limit of 0.2% and as a nail hardener with a limit of 5%. However, to act as a smoothing agent, its concentration increases to 37%; a very high concentration, since in contact with the heat of the dryer, this aldehyde releases vapors with penetrating and irritating odor. If inhaled, they may cause acute intoxication, irritation to skin, eyes, nostril, respiratory tract and mucosa. In addition, the WHO (World Health Organization) considers this compound as carcinogenic.



Even the hair that should be the main beneficiary with this treatment is greatly impaired. The formalin destroys the molecules that form the thread, creating a cover that covers the internal damages. Besides the breaking and drying of the threads, the greasiness of the scalp increases, because this "cover" does not allow the natural oil of the hair to flow through the threads.


So remember: the money to be earned or straight hair is only temporarily not worth it when compared to the harms caused by this process.



I hope you have enjoyed this post and have understood the harm that the formalin treatment does both in the hair and in human health.
Tomorrow I'll come back with one more post.
