Reflections of You Fairfax Salon and SpaOSHA’s Testing Methods Proven Faulty
The Oregon division of OSHA’s (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) recent claims that samples of the Brazilian Blowout Professional Smoothing Solution contained between 4.85% and 10.6% Formaldehyde has been proven to be incorrect.
Doug Schoon, a leading scientist and expert who works with state, federal and international regulators to develop beauty industry related standards and regulations with regards to ingredient safety, consumer testing and cosmetics registrations/regulations, says that the test methods used by Oregon OSHA do not properly measure Formaldehyde in water based cosmetic products. The tests conducted by OSHA actually measured a completely different substance called "Methylene Glycol," and incorrectly referred to this substance as "Formaldehyde." Methylene Glycol is the key functioning ingredient used in most professional hair smoothing treatments currently on the market.
Schoon reports the following:
It is important to understand that Formaldehyde is not a cosmetic ingredient and never has been; it is a gas that cannot be added to cosmetics, and only exists in tiny trace amounts. Misunderstanding the nature of Formaldehyde has led to the incorrect belief that 37% Methylene Glycol is the same as 37% Formaldehyde, when in fact, 37% Methylene Glycol contains only trace amounts of Formaldehyde; less than 0.05% to be precise.
Flaws in the testing methods used by Oregon’s division of OSHA actually cause the creation of additional Formaldehyde that is not normally found in the product, which led to Oregon OSHA erroneously reporting levels of Formaldehyde that cannot possibly exist in the product, especially given that Formaldehyde is a gas. Once again, what OSHA is actually reporting, is the amount of Methylene Glycol in the product, not Formaldehyde.
The only method that accurately measures Formaldehyde in water based cosmetic products is called "13C-NMR," and OSHA did not conduct this particular type of testing. Had OSHA performed this test, they would have discovered that only tiny traces of Formaldehyde are detectable in these products, usually well below 0.0045%.
When heated to very high temperatures, Methylene Glycol can release small amounts of Formaldehyde gas into the air. Research that I have performed on Methylene Glycol containing hair smoothing and straightening products has shown, however, that as long as these types of products are used properly, and in well-ventilated areas, both Cosmetologists and their client's exposure to the Formaldehyde gas are well below the safe levels established by OSHA.
The results are in!!!!!See for yourself.

Surface hair care line and Poison ivy Reflections of You Fairfax

Who would have thought that professional hair care products do so much. Not only does the bassu oil lock in hair color but help heal poison ivy. WOW



Bassu Oil Testimonial – Designed for use immediately following color and for at home hair care however the wonders of Bassu Oil and skin continue to amaze!Following your CB Sullivan Company sales presentation Monday, September 20th on the healing benefits of Bassu Oil, I thought I'd try using some on the poison ivy I recently caught while cutting down trees in preparation for inevitable New Hampshire snow. In the past two weeks I have tried all of the typical remedies, with little or no relief. In fact my poison ivy had not only spread, but the itching had increased. That is until I tried Bassu Oil. I can honestly tell you that the Bassu Oil has not only stopped the itching, but it appears as though the poison ivy is actually subsiding. Going forward I plan on keep Bassu Oil in my bathroom, and along side my Husqvarna chainsaw - just in case. Christopher Barcellos, Inside Sales Manager , CB Sullivan Company

Hot Hair Updos for Fall 2010 Reflections of You Fairfax salon and spa

Done are the days of tight chignons and french twists. This Fall's runway trends are a soft and romantic take on the grunge trends of the 90's. Next season's styling will be greatly influenced by the designers of Fall Fashion week. Upstyles this fall are undone and slightly messy with a lived in-slept on look. The noncalant effortless styles of this season are always chic and are very hot for your formal events this fall and winter.
Variations of the low Chignons were featured by several designers on the runway: Statement making severe side parts paired with an undone and off center loose bun go easily from day to night. Try pulling some strands out of your chignon for an unpolished look. The pieces can be stick straight for a more graphic look or waved for something more romantic. A great variation of this look can be achieved with an undone french twist slightly messy and teased gently through the crown. Hair is twisted and then pulled apart leaving some hair up and some hair down and loosely waved. Define the texture with a styling paste like Surface Crave who's matte finish compliments the look of the season.
Bouffants and messy pompadour poofs are paired with smooth off centered french twists. The looks are structured but still soft. They are achieved through teasing combined with the power of styling powders like Surface Push for a slightly bed-heady feel that seems more modern than retro.
Finally for the hair down girls, messy matte waves are your new best friend. They are similar to the beach waves of summer but with a slept in feel. Its fancier than bedhead, not to mention sexier. Replace your curling iron this season for the waves of a smoothing iron. The secret again is lots of hair powder to give you that really matte texture and still control humidity.
Don't forget to finish all your Fall looks with Surface Theory Finishing spray. It's natural frizz fighting flexible hold will help to keep you looking great all night.
