These salves were useful for specific use in fixing braids and hairstyles. Professionals warn that there are substances that can preserve the product for a longer time, which ends up implying an aggressive effect on consumers. The biggest reports came after the product came into contact with water and the ointment ran down the eyes and face.
Because they pose health risks, Anvisa reported that these ointments are under investigation after many reports of serious situations.
In an interview given to Agência Brasil, hairdresser Rosi Ribeiro informed that the side effects can be toxic for the professional who applies the product as well as for the client who uses the product. Initial complaints reported skin irritation, redness and itching of the eyes and face, and in some cases, customers reported that they were blinded for a short time.
Rosi Ribeiro, attentive to the prohibition case, commented that the client made the braid, used it for three months:
“There was a case in which the client wore braids for three months, the hair fell out and the follicle closed. Instead of removing the braid, she redid the hairstyle. The biggest problem is that, with the closure of this follicle, hair no longer grows, ”she reported.
Rosi warned that consumers need to be more attentive to information so that this damage is reduced.
“There is a myth that a woman needs to suffer to look beautiful, but that is not true. The essential thing is to have information”, emphasizing that currently anyone can produce their own product, which which becomes a little more dangerous since the measures for a certain purpose can directly affect the health.
The professional said that customers can and should opt for natural products, which do not have as many preservatives, and pay attention to Anvisa's protection seal.
