If you are a salon and use Keratin Complex by Coppola (COPOMON enterprises) you can purchase your salon service or make your order on STYLEBELL.COM . It’s so nice to see a penalized company in the Beauty industry sell there products that you buy and breath on the internet. Maybe you will think twice about buying this product and providing the service in your salon. Since the manufacturer sells the service to the commercial sector. I guess it is no different from Clairol, Loreal hair color for the professional. And their hair color they sell in the stores. Gotta cover all your financial bases. Dont we?

Keratin Complex by Coppola, Global Keratin, Liquid Keratin, BioNaza, Manufacturers are selling out your service’s to the consumer!
In my last documentary the highlight was manufacturer diversion, and believe it or not it is true. But to see company’s selling out your services to the commercial sector or retail. That to me is a kick in the teeth to all the professionals in my industry. If you go to the website STYLEBELL.COM you will find a list of So-Called Keratin treatments being sold without the need of a professional license. And these are companys whoo sell there products to YOU to use on your clients, but will also sell to the commercial sector for added income. Would you use a product line that is sold to the commercial sector. Loreal sells boxed haircolor on the shelves of every Walmart, CVS, WALGREENS, But you will use there professional line of haircolor, So what is the difference here? FREE ENTERPRISE. Thats it!
Keratin Complex By Coppola claims that “You can find different Coppola Keratin treatment products in popular beauty salons. You only need to ensure that the salon has the correct products. If you cannot handle the treatment yourself, it is good to let an expert handle it for you. Notice they say “If you cannot handle the treatment yourself, it is good to let an expert handle it for you”. Notice it says expert, NOT PROFESSIONAL. What could they be talking about a grocery store clerk, webmaster?

And there is more!!!!!
Keratin Complex by Coppola, Global Keratin, Liquid Keratin, BioNaza,and Rejuvenol are some of the best Keratin based straightening solutions similar to the Brazilian straightening techniques. These treatments will keep your hair straight, smooth, and silky.
What a deal do they offer this to you for being a salon account???
Are these products sold to the salon industry as a SERVICE, or are you being sold out, You can see the list of products on this website and guess what you dont need a license to purchase these SO CALLED hair care products.
Unnique states on the mission statement on there website “Unnique Beauty Corporation is a company dedicated especially to enhance the beauty in every woman, which is the main motive for our professional hair care line. What is considered PROFESSIONAL? Is it for the Professional beauty industry? I will have to ask my webmaster that question!
“We really need to take control of our industry. The fact that there are sites that sell professional in salon service treatments without even asking for our license verification means only one thing. The people who are asking us to pay and take their classes do not really care who they sell their products or treatments to.. They are taking our credibility and undermining our profession. We need to stop this madness we need to let these people know we will not tolerate playing both sides of the fence. They either support us or they do not. Please make up My mind”.

U.S. Department of Labor gives Citation and Penaltys to M&M International. Marcia Teixeira Products!
The U.S Department of Labor has cited M & M International (Marcia Teixeira Hair Products) with numerous citations and penalties from the time period of 03/08/3011 – 09/08/2011 of this year. The Mission of the DOL is to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights. Without this organization our industry would run rampant with violations. Especially with all the commotion with the Brazilian Treatments. Why doesnt the Professional Beauty Industry take a look at the information? Why don’t they inform you? Well it’s all about EGO. And manufacturer dollars. The manufacturers have a lot of puppets who inform you , but only skim the surface of the problems. These puppets will say everything is all OK! Lets wait and see what the U.S Goverment will say and do. And then and only then will they SAY something in a press release. And then they will hop onto the boat claiming they were there for your legal representation within the industry. And charge you $300.00 to $1000.00 to join there professional organization and advertise with them on the sites, or networks, and web pages.

Such a wonderful industry we are all in!!!!! Joseph Kellner
Company’s claim little to no formaldehyde! When tests show their products contain substantial amounts!
The REAL HAIR TRUTH is working closely with the FDA, and also OSHA to bring to light to the beauty industry the false and misleading facts manufacturers are giving to the professional beauty industry. The Real Hair Truth has film several government agency’s to bring to light this horrible and unethical practice of corruption, mis-representation and fraud in the beauty industry! All interviews will be released in the second feature of the Documentary!
| Company | Claim | Testing | Reference |
| Brazilian Blowout | Prior to [2/13/2011]: “CONTAINS NO FORMALDEHYDE!” As of [3/1/2011]: There is no mention of the word formaldehyde on the website or the material safety data sheet that continues to list Methylene Glycol. | Formaldehyde levels up to 11.8% | Oregon OSHA 2010A, Oregon OSHA 2010B, IMB 2010A, IMB 2010B, Fisher 2007, Health Canada 2010B |
| Coppola | In addition to the Keratin, our formula includes Timonacic acid, a benign antioxidant patented in France which is part of an aldehyde group that is used in hair products and acts as an organic preservative… The difference between Brazilian straightening companies that add free formaldehyde as an ingredient and Keratin Complex’s bonded aldehydes is that the latter is not harmful. | Formaldehyde levels up to 2.3% | ACCC 2010, AFSSAPS 2010, Columbia Analytical Services 2010, FDA FOIA 2010, Health Canada 2010C, IMB 2010A, IMB 2010B, Oregon OSHA 2010B, RAPEX 2010 |
| Marcia Teixeira | Methylene glycol, which does not appear on the FDA’s official list of prohibited cosmetic ingredients, is the ingredient in our treatments that will produce a trace level of formaldehyde vapor when high heat is applied. For that reason, we can state that formaldehyde is not an ingredient in our treatments, but, we cannot, and have never claimed that they are formaldehyde free. | Formaldehyde levels up to 3.4% (potentially up to 5.87%) | ACCC 2010, AFSSAPS 2010, Columbia Analytical Services 2010, FDA FOIA 2010, Health Canada 2010C, Irish NCA 2010, Oregon OSHA 2010B, Fisher 2007 |
| Global Keratin | Since the inception of Global Keratin the company has been in full compliance with all regulations worldwide and never made any false claims. In our old formulas Global Keratin used Methylene Glycol (CAS: 463-57-0) in our products. | Formaldehyde levels up to 4.4% | Columbia Analytical Services 2010, Health Canada 2010C, IMB 2010A, IMB 2010B |
| Silkening Technologies | No formaldehyde, no unpleasant fumes or odours. Just frizz-free, beautiful hair that stays smooth and manageable for months. (Canadian website) | Formaldehyde level of 2.8% | Health Canada 2010C |
| IBS Beauty | i-Straight (Also known as Love-Straight), is the safest and most effective system for straightening the different types, conditions, and textures of light curls to the most stubborn kinky hair type. | Formaldehyde level of 2.3% | Health Canada 2010C |
| Cadiveu | Before Cadiveu USA entered into its Distribution Agreement with Cadiveu Brazil, we were assured that Cadiveu’s chemists were not relying on formaldehyde in their formulas. To confirm this, we hired an independent lab to test the products thoroughly. The results of this test confirmed that the formula does not contain formaldehyde as a functional ingredient in the hair smoothing process. As a result we felt confident that we were offering a safe product, which is our primary concern. Cadiveu’s panel of experts explains, “Formaldehyde is a gas and therefore cannot be added to a cosmetic as an ingredient. In fact, Formaldehyde has never been a cosmetic ingredient. Most test methods commonly used, are not suitable for measuring Formaldehyde in water-based cosmetic products. Formaldehyde is extremely unlikely in a water-based cosmetic product to exist beyond 0.005%.” | Formaldehyde level of 7% | Health Canada 2010C |
| R & L | “None of our products contain any fomaldehyde. They are all fomaldehyde FREE.” | Formaldehyde level > 0.2% | IMB 2010A, IMB 2010B |
| Tahe | Formol Free | Formaldehyde level > 0.2% | IMB 2010A, IMB 2010B |
| Brazilian Gloss | Keratin treatment does not make use of any harsh chemicals. … At-home kits for keratin treatments are also available. The price for at-home kits starts from $250. For getting this treatment done, always consult a professional stylist. Knowledge about this treatment in advance can also help you in making a smarter choice. If the treatment is done properly, it will leave even the most rough hair look smooth and very easy to style.
Precautions: Whether you get this treatment done at a salon or use an at-home kit, make sure that keratin product you use contains less than 2% formaldehyde. |
Formaldehyde level up to 7.3% | Columbia Analytical Services 2010, Oregon OSHA 2010B |
| Keratin express | The current Keratin Express formula contains no known formaldehyde or formaldehyde donors. To confirm this, we had an independent lab conduct tests to measure any detectable formaldehyde both at room temperature and when heated to 450 degrees for five minutes. The testing confirmed no formaldehyde with the exception of a trace amount (.00017%), attributable to possible residual from other product filling or cleaning on our production line. | Formaldehyde level of 1.2% | Oregon OSHA 2010B |
| QOD | Unlike formaldehyde-based keratin treatments, QOD’s Brazilian Keratin products do not contain industrially manufactured raw formaldehyde. Instead, we have invested ten years of research in a patented process that mimics the effects of formaldehyde, and is readily accepted by the FDA. Still, we choose not to market our products as “formaldehyde free.” This is usually a disingenuous marketing gimmick, and potentially even harmful. | Formaldehyde level up to 3.5% | Oregon OSHA 2010B, FDA FOIA 2010 |
| KeraGreen | Our exclusive formulation – non toxic, formaldehyde free, rich with organic and natural ingredients – sets us apart from all other keratin hair treatments in the market and makes us relevant in a time when Green is in! | Formaldehyde level of 1.6% | Oregon OSHA 2010B |
| Simply Smooth American Culture Hair | “No! This is formaldehyde free.” | Formaldehyde level up to 0.93% | Columbia Analytical Services 2010 |
| Goleshlee | In the FAQ section of the Goleshlee website it is stated that the products contain 2% formaldehyde. No information on the keratin product pages and no mention of formaldehyde is given in the product ingredient lists. | Formaldehyde level > 0.6% | AFSSAPS 2010 |
| Spazzola Progressiva | No information about the use of formaldehyde is provided. | Formaldehyde level > 0.6% | AFSSAPS 2010 |
