"  Members of Congress are calling on the FDA for a voluntary recall of two hair-straightening treatments sold in salons under the name Brazilian Blowout. They are citing a study that found formaldehyde \u2014 a known carcinogen \u2014 well above the recommended threshold in the products.  Back in March, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) conducted its own investigation of four keratin hair treatments (Brazilian Blowout, Marcia Teixeira, Keratin Complex by Coppola, and Global Keratin Light Wave) and discovered the toxic chemical in all of the products tested. We followed up with an investigation of the anti-formaldehyde claims on a new at-home version, Salon Favorite Do-It-Yourself Treatment Kit, and found that although it does not contain formaldehyde, it does contain the chemical Glutaraldehyde, which is in the same family.  With the latest call to action from Congress and the scary findings of several tests that have been conducted, GHRI stands by its advice: Avoid keratin treatments whether you&amp;#039;re a salon worker or just a salon-goer who wants straight, shiny hair.  One alternative: the Remington Therapy Frizz Therapy flat iron was tested and given a 2010 VIP (Very Innovative Product) Award by GHRI for its frizz-taming ability for up to 15 hours \u2014 even after exposure to high heat and humidity.
