Hi Crystalsi. Wow, I haven't been here in a while. To answer your question, no, it is not "normal to have that chemical smell in your hair for 2 weeks. When that happens, that means your hair was not rinsed out properly. When rinsing out Thio (the chemical in TR) the water has to be the right temperature. Not to hot and not too cold. If it is too warm it will render the process useless, and if it is too cold it will cause the hair cuticle to close, traping the chemical inside before it can be rinsed out. Therefor that nasty smell will linger for days, or even weeks.
Sounds like the person doing your hair is not a chemical expert. But don't worry, the smell goes away. I'm just worried about the damage it may have caused. Well, hope it all goes well.
As far as brain damage, no, you won't get any, or cancer or memory loss. However, if you worry about it too much, you will get anxiety, which can cause loss of sleep, memory problems etc. I know hair is a very emotional thing. But over worrying will only make things worse. Remember, stress can cause hair loss, which only adds to the problem.
Much blessings, and great hair.
