Is it okay to have a Keratin Treatment During Pregnancy?
Keratin treatment is the same as the Brazilian Blowout. I have always had thick and frizzy hair. I had the blowout a year ago, right before my wedding. And, I absolutely loved it! It lasted about 3 months. I've been dying to have it again and had held off because of the cost (it tends to be very expensive). However, I had been thinking it would be so nice to have my hair easy to style and manageable. Here's the answer:
Keratin hair treatments can smoothen and straighten unmanageable locks, and have gained great popularity in the past 6 months. Women are willing to try new beauty items, and salons are quick to want business, but as is the case with anything new, there are precautions to take. You want to research both the treatment and the stylist you are contemplating before taking the plunge. Stay tuned for an informative post with details on how to do so!
While there are many questions women have about keratin treatments, a vital question has popped up quite a few times and there seem to be contradictory answers. That question? “Can I Have a Keratin Treatment While I’m Pregnant (or nursing)?” the manufacturers for these beauty products say no. Salons are split in their opinion; some will, some won’t. And it’s so new that many OB’s are still in dark about what they are or how they work.
The manufacturers’ reply is decidedly no, because it is new and no one has done any experiments on how it might affect a baby. But the question is how many women ever contact the manufacturer of the hair color or other products their stylist uses? Why would you? You probably trust your stylist…right? Not to knock hair stylists; we are gifted artists and outgoing professionals, but we aren’t chemists and we surely aren’t Doctors We are keen to see what’s new in beauty and offer it to our clients to make them feel as good as possible. But many salons are promoting these treatments as “all-natural” or “chemical-free,” which is just not true. They do not chemically transform the hair, but as is always said…if they were made of rainbow and butterflies, they wouldn’t last more than 3-6 months!

Again, I’m not a chemist, but I’m absolutely sure there’s more than apples and honey in there. Keratin treatments have done wonders for the frizzy gals of the world, and are perfectly secure when applied and processed properly in an appropriate environment. However, there are many things women have in moderation or use regularly, but have to hold back from while they are pregnant.
If you’re a reader of A MOM in Red High Heels, there’s a good chance you’ve already spent several months of your life avoiding alcohol, OTC medications, soft cheeses, soft boiled or over-easy eggs, sushi and certain kinds of fish, cycling or horseback riding, and after that great maternity massage you pouted and passed up the jacuzzi/sauna.
See what some of the most well known keratin treatment companies have to say about receiving the treatment while pregnant or nursing:
Q. Can I receive a Brazilian Blowout in case I am pregnant or breastfeeding?A. There have been no medical tests performed on the safety of performing the Brazilian Blowout on pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding. As a result, we do counsel against pregnant or breastfeeding women receiving the Brazilian Blowout treatment.
It is said that Keratin Complex is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. The research or development has not been done satisfactorily and, therefore, experts do not put their stamp of approval.
