There has been a lot of buzz about Brazilian keratin treatments and the possible health risks associated with them. Because many of these treatments use a combination of formalin, keratin and heat to straighten the hair, there is a risk of exposure to toxins. Formalin is a cosmetic-grade solution of formaldehyde, and when heated with a 450º flat iron, it is converted into formaldehyde (its original form). During the application process, formaldehyde fumes can be inhaled by you, your stylist, and others in the vicinity. Formaldehyde is an irritant and carcinogenic and serious health risks are associated with the inhalation of formaldehyde. Heat generated by blow-dryers, flat irons, and curling irons after the service can continue to activate and release formaldehyde vapors too. Shape Control is formulated without formaldehyde to provide a range of textured results. As opposed to formalin, Shape Control contains the exclusive Kera- Shape Complex to permanently reshape, de-frizz, and beautify the hair. Plus it's backed by more than 50 years of Redken innovation and our guarantee, so you can breathe easy with a Shape Control service!

• Avoid running your hands through your new curls for 48 hours after the service. Instead, scrunch and twist curls to enhance their shape
• Wash less, condition more. Shampoo 2-3 times a week but apply conditioner each time you shower
• Lightly towel-dry freshly shampooed curls—vigorous towel-drying can create frizz!
• Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle hair, working from the ends up to the root
• Curls love product! Start with a small amount in your hands and rake through hair. Apply more as needed. Comb through to distribute evenly.
• For a more uniform look, twist hair in large sections before drying
• Use a diffuser on low heat and low speed until hair is almost dry for a more natural result
• Try not to play with your hair as it dries—the more you touch the frizzier it will get
• For volume at the root, tip your head upside down when drying. For a more natural look tip head to the sides
