Not these Brazilians:
Gisele Bundchen, or The Bikini Waxing to end all bikini waxings, or the classic movie Brazil directed by Terry Gilliam, (he would brought us Monty Python) with the screenplay by Tom Stoppard. Not incidently, you might really want to see this movie…

The Brazilian I am referring to, is the latest treatment craze, in the never ending "does this treatment work?" craze, perhaps  promising us eternal youth (not really), a happier life (not really), in this case, only defrizzed hair.
Which, for some, is akin to eternal youth and a happier life.

The promise of defrizzed hair does come with a few concerns In Curls, Split! Ringlets, BeGone! the article that I read in the New York Times, they suggest that the use of formaldehyde might be of some concern. "There are risks. There’s the hot iron. And the formula often contains
formaldehyde, a known carcinogen that can irritate the eyes and lungs
if the fumes are inhaled. A spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration, however, said that the agency has no restrictions on the use of formaldehyde in cosmetics."

I think, in a blog I wrote, "Back Hurt?" that the FDA might be somehow marginalized as a consistent source of what's okay and not okay witnessed by the recurring recalls of products that heretofore were just dandy?

So, yet another product that I considered, for a nano second, is put into the discarded pile of products that will tame, brighten, smooth or enhance what my genetics didn't offer up…
