I got this for both of my teen daughters who have very naturally curly hair that they usually straighten with an iron. We followed the direction explicitly because we had done a lot of research on the salon process including not touching the hair with water after the treatment for at least 3 days. We purchase a hot straightening iron for the required 410 degrees heat and were very careful in the process.After three days, they washed their hair and when wet it now is in very loose waves almost like it was chemically straightened. They both say their hair is some much softer, conditioned and the texture is incredible. They say styling their hair is 100% easier and even though they still need to use a straightening iron for flat straight hair, they've cut the styling time in half.
They both want to reorder as soon as the treatment wears off (we're 1 month into now and it's still working).
My very naturally curly hair had already had a salon keratin treatment that was wearing off. This treatment made my hair smooth and shiny again. It didn't completely straightn my hair, it still has some waves but no frizz, which is what I wanted. When I want my hair straight I can blow dry it straight in a lot less time than before the treatment.
UPDATE: 1/18/2012
Two months later my hair still has no frizz. If I let my hair dry on it's own it's got more of the wave back. If I blow dry my hair it stays straight. I've been very happy with my hair since using this product, it's been as effective for keeping my hair smooth as the $250 (Global Keratin) treatment I had that first introduced me to what keratin can do, and only about 1/10 the cost. When I re do the treatment I'll use the correct 450 degree flat iron.Product is easy to use for a person who is able to do hair. I suggest being in a VERY well ventilated area. I opened up my windows and put my fan on high facing the window. Once your at the point where your blow drying the product in your hair the fumes get very harsh and made my eyes burn. I had to take a break every once in a while. I also have well controlled asthma and had to use my inhaler after doing the application. If you can have someone else do this for you, I would and have them wear a mask so they are not breathing in the fumes. This beats paying thr $250 + tip at the hair salon, so i will continue on doing the applications myself. Also the bottles are VERY small. I have short hair and used about 1 1/2 ounces of Keratin. If you have long hair you should order two, or order the bigger bottles.I have been using Global Keratin (now called GK Hair) for three years, but was frustrated with having to pay so much for the product. So...I thought I'd give this a try. I am SO disappointed. I realized it wouldn't be as good as GK you get what you pay for...but this has made my hair more fuzzy than before I applied it. I'll be interested to see what my own conditioner does to the hair the vitamin conditioner included in the package was AWFUL.
I would not suggest anyone use this product if you have used other straightening systems successfully you will be horribly disappointed.This product worked wonders on my hair. I had wavy/curly hair, and now it is soft, silky and straight!!! Never did I think that I would ever be able to wash my hair and be able to walk out the door without having to do anything to it. This Karatin product changed my life lol. I left it in for 48hrs and used a flat iron that went up to 410, and ended up with great results. I highly recommend this product :)
