Yes, it can cause hair loss. My hair is falling out from the root, that is I can see the root part of the hair when it falls out. I had two Brazilian keratin treatments, both this year. I did not notice the hair loss until September, which was five months after the second treatment. If I even touch off my hair with my hand, I will have about 8 or 10 hair falling out. Not good. Lots of hair loss after washing and combing too. Your hair looks great at first when you get this treatment done, but I definitely do not recommend it for fine hair, like mine.

This is more a problem of your stylist than the treaments themselves.

Why? Well when you use a Keratin treatment it really is important to respect the timings, and many stylists simply aren't familiar enough with these products.

I live in Brazil, where the Keratin treatment is known as Escova Progressiva. Hair fall-out is unheard when using these products, and I suspect it's because the people working with them have been doing so for a very long time.

The use of Formaldehyde is also banned in these products which may have something to do with it (as I've heard that American made products aren't regulated in the same way)

But, the bottom line is that these treatments are very powerful and you have to respect the instructions. So while it may be tempting to think you'll get better results by leaving the product on your hair longer, the exact opposite is often true, and you'll be harming hair with each minute over the suggested waiting period.

Please be very careful wihen using any Keratin treatment, and message me via my Facebook or at my blog on http://escovaprogress.com.

No. Amino acids actually help hair grow. Amino acids are the 'building blocks' of protein. And hair is made up of a protein called keratin. So no, amino acids do NOT cause hair loss.

Is the keratin treatment tested to be safe no long term side effects such as hair loss or any other side effects?

It is good for you because the Keratin is a vital protein for your hair. It leaves your hair luscious and shiny, and without Keratin, your hair will disintegrate.It is bad for you because the formaldehyde is a harmful chemical that causes fumes, and after 4 months, your hair will be worse than it was before you had the treatment, and because you can get cancer.Actually, the answers above are both right. I know that you may be skeptical of whether or not you should get the Keratin Treatment. The truth is, some Keratin Treatments are safe while others are not. The Brazilian Keratin Treatments (BK T) has an ingredient, formaldehyde, which is a very harmful cancer causing agent.However, some Keratin Treatments don't have formaldehyde at all, but if it doesn't, your hair will be back to normal after just 1 wash.Some brands use the harmful formaldehyde in their Keratin Treatments, because it helps keep your hair straight even longer than if it didn't include the formaldehyde. That way, they can increase the price. The problem is, some brands (like BK T) that use formaldehyde, claim that you will get smooth, silky hair using Keratin (which is a very vital nutrient for your hair). The thing is, BK T's product wouldn't have been nearly as effective if the ingredient formaldehyde wasn't included.However, Keratin Treatments WITHOUT THE FORMALDEHYDE DO EXIST! Keratin is really good for your hair, so Keratin Treatments would be good to use for your hair. Just make sure that when you get it done, check the label to see if it includes formaldehyde. If it includes formaldehyde, don't do it! The long term affects would just be bad. After 4 months, your hair will end up worse that it was before you got the treatment, and you can get cancer.IF YOU DECIDE TO GET THE KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT DONE, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE LABEL FOR THESE INGREDIENTS!: Formaldehyde, Formalin, Aldehyde, AldehydeIF ANY OF THOSE INGREDIENTS WERE MENTIONED ON THE BOTTLE, EITHER DON'T DO THE TREATMENT, WEAR A MASK, OR CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TRY HOLDING YOUR BREATH.
