Hair straightening creams can contain harsh chemicals that can damage the hair if used improperly or too frequently. Some common ingredients in hair straightening creams, such as sodium hydroxide and formaldehyde, can cause hair breakage, dryness, and even hair loss. Additionally, the fumes from these chemicals can be harmful if inhaled. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and to use these products in a well-ventilated space. If you are concerned about the potential risks, it may be best to avoid using hair straightening creams altogether and instead explore alternative hair styling options.

Hair straightening cream is safe to use on hair as long as you use it properly.

It is no more harmful to your hair than perm solution. The difference is how you use it.

With a perm, you wrap your hair in rollers and apply the solution. With hair straightening cream you apply it to your hair and comb it through.

Improper use and the condition of your client's hair prior to application can affect the final result. Some people need the solution to be applied for shorter times than others.

To determine how long to leave the product in their hair and if the hair is viable for use with any product, remember to always do a strand test.
