22 Jan BeautyStat Featured In February Allure Magazine: How Do Hair Straighteners Work?
BeautyStat.com is featured in this month’s Allure magazine. Contributing to the cover story on hair straighteners: how they work, are they safe? the new non-toxic versions. See excerpts below:

This process allows the hair to be reshaped, i.e. straightened.
… The heat from a flatiron or blow-dryer can convert methylene glycol to formaldehyde, says cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson, founder and CEO of BeautyStat.com. You can read the rest of the article in the February issue of Allure magazine on newsstands now.
