Since the early 2000's, there has been a lot of media-buzz surrounding Keratin texturizing Treatments- that allow persons with more textured (wavy, curly, coily) hair types the flexibility of wearing their hair either curly or straight, depending upon their styling preferences.
Unfortunately, most salon and over-the-counter texturizer treatments utilize chemical agents such as Thioglycolate Acids, and in some cases, even harmful carcinogens such as Formaldehyde to achieve the desired texturizing effect.
Below are a few of the most popular Keratin Treatments available, considered to be least damaging to the hair (as recommended by consumers).
