I was trying to find pics but couldn't. I remember BET used to advertise it like crazy. I think they even had an infomercial that's what goop Hair It Is was based on


Product Turns Hair Green -- FDA Seizes Bottles



1995-01-25 04:00:00 PDT Washington
-- The Food and Drug Administration has seized tens of thousands of bottles of "Rio" hair relaxer products after deciding that they can cause severe hair loss or turn hair green.

The FDA last month warned consumers not to use Rio Hair Naturalizer Systems, a product imported from Brazil and sold through television infomercials by World Rio Corp. of Los Angeles. The the agency received more than 1,800 reports of people claiming the products caused everything from severe scalp irritation and hair loss to green hair.

I hope she wins.





Making fun of a black person's nose bc it isn't small and slim like others?:sas1:

& you're black?:sas2:


:mjpls:



I don't think that's the issue. She can get a perm if she wants. She should've used a brand that is already popular to african americans. There are plenty. I don't get why she would use a white brand. The only thing I've heard black women using from loreal was skin products including makeup and hair dye, not perm or other hair products.

Correct on both accounts. This the Coli, even nikkas like you can catch it for trying to be pretend offended

I'm almost at a decade relaxer free! Shout out to all my girls proud to let their curls bounce into a room and become the center of attention!

That perm shyt is so ingrained in diaspora culture and it's complete unnecessary. My hair is damn near at my ass now when I straighten it (hot comb) and it had plateaued in length with my perms from sophomore year in high school to freshman year at Howard.

Perms kill your hair and I think it dulls your IQ a bit as well. I have no scientific proof but my dreams, critical thinking and creative mind both exploded after I stopped perming my hair.

My abuela has locs and told me all throughout my teenage years that perming my hair was killing my connection to the sun and it's advantages for those with 9 ether hair. That's another conversation but she was right.

My hair was dead when it was permed, Michael Jackson straight with no bounce. Now even when I straighten my hair (naturally) I can feel the life and vibrance of it. Hair is a living breathing part of our crowns and I feel as a woman you should feel empowered to rock it in it's natural glory.

Not to mention I was always told how long my hair was for a black girl when I had it permed, which is a backhanded compliment. Now I'm told countless times per day how beautiful my hair is, from people of all ages and races anywhere I am. Well taken care of naturally curly (African) hair is so beautiful. And i feel regal anytime I put on a dress and let my hair flow in all of it's glory.
