Keratin Hair Treatment Side Effects
Keratin hair treatment side effects surface only after the first wash, which is recommended after 72 hours of treatment. The various side effects of keratin hair treatment are as follows.
Potential to Induce Cancer
Formaldehyde, a carcinogenic substance is the major component of almost every keratin hair treatment product. Even the famous Brazilian keratin hair treatment makes use of formaldehyde. Although, most salons make use of masks to escape the fumes of formaldehyde, there is no way of preventing the small amounts of formaldehyde from getting absorbed in the skin. This formaldehyde has a very high potential of inducing cancer. However, there are a few products, which are devoid of formaldehyde, but they may not give you the desired results, as the straightening effect is mainly due to formaldehyde. Thus, Brazilian keratin hair treatment side effects are mostly due to formaldehyde.
Excessive Hair Loss
This is yet another major problem, which is experienced by most of the customers who have had the treatment done. The hair start falling from its root after the first wash itself, even if you wash with recommended hair care products only. Moreover, the amount of hair-fall is so overwhelming that a prominent thinning pattern can be observed within weeks of treatment. However, your dermatologist might want you to undergo a few tests to rule out other causes, before treating you for hair loss due to keratin treatment.

Deterioration of Hair Texture
You may find your hair full of luster, immediately after the treatment. But, do not stay under the impression that your hair will remain so forever. In fact, you'll notice your hair texture degrading within 2-3 weeks of treatment. The hair become dry, fade and all messed up. Also, it is likely that your hair will stay pin straight even after washing twice. This can be particularly frustrating if your hair stylist told you to expect relaxed and naturally wavy hair in a day or two.
Allergic Reactions
Just like any other hair treatment, this treatment is also capable of inducing allergic reactions in few people. The symptoms include itching, rash etc. which are typical allergy symptoms. Your hair stylist should first identify your hair texture so as to choose an appropriate product for your hair type. Also, you should clearly mention, if you have a past history of allergic reactions.
