Women Looking for Shiny Hair Said Product Gave Them Hair Loss Instead
For most women, coloring,cutting and styling hair is something they have done since being a little girl. Whether you had the luxury of growing long locks all your life, or you found individuality in changing and experimenting with different hair colors and styles, hair without a doubt plays a central role in the appearance of most women today.
Getting the perfect length, style, color are all made possible thanks to a grossly expanding market of hair products and stylers all promising to make you get the look thats in.
One of the latest crazes in hair styles is sleek, healthy looking hair. In addition to natural remedies like applying virgin coconut oil to the hair to help restore its shine, applications of Argan Oil and different types of Keratin treatments have been introduced into the market.
But what happens when these magic treatments and products don’t work the way they were intended to? Most of us have been there. Poorly done coloring, a cut that didn’t flatter your face shape - or worse, damage from heat or other harsh treatment that caused your hair to become brittle, and even break.
While some products on the market today are meant only for use and application by professionals, the market for do it yourself at home products is also on the rise as consumers continue to cut spending. One such product however is in the hot seat now as hundreds of women claim they used Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion 30-Day Smoothing Kit and it caused them to have hair loss and other damages.
The supposed allegations, filed in California federal court, said the manufacturer, Unilever, failed to tell people that the product, "contains an ingredient or combination of ingredients that causes significant hair loss upon proper application," CNN reported.
In addition to the complaints photos were also filed showing women who had suffered burns on their scalp, discoloration of their hair, irritation and more. A report in Medical Daily says the company did pull the product from the shelves back in May 2012. The suit also alleges false advertising because it was marketed as formaldehyde-free.
