Let me begin by telling you I have shoulder length naturally curly hair which frizzes out to a mop the minute it hits any humidity. I spent highschool and college hours and hours trying to tame it. Most recently using a straightener daily but if I should get it wet by weather or workout it would just start frizzing and curling again. And yes, I have tried leave in products that promise no frizz.
I was going to ask a friend to help me apply the mixture and straighten my hair with the straightener but no one was avaialble so I did it myself. Here's what happened:
Application was fairly easy except I noticed caustic fumes that irritated my throat and eyes. Once I coated my whole head of hair I decided to spend the next 40 minutes of wait time outside as I felt very affected by the fumes.
Once wait time was over I blew dry the lotion in my hair which again stirred up the fumes. I kept putting my face near an open window as my eyes and throat were extrememly affected.
I then partitioned my hair as directed and used my straightener at 450 degrees. I made sure that I went over areas several times and tried very hard to make sure I got everything very straight. During this procedure my hair did give off smoke and fumes and at times caused me to need to put a towel over my face. Still....I was almost done.
I waited the full 72 hours before I washed my hair and conditioned with the included conditioner and then again with my own to make sure it got plenty of remoisturizing.
I brushed my wet hair out, no blow dry, no touch ups.
I woke up the next day and not only was my hair extrememly straight, it was the shiniest and softest it has been in a long time. I went to work and even got comments. I don't know how long it will last but if it lasts 2 months I may suffer the process again.
I have had my hair straightened in the salon with the Japanese process and it took a year to overcome the damage and took $200 out of my pocket. This was much less. I would recomend wearing a scarf or mask over your mouth and nose to avoid the fumes, though.
I bought this online after spending $350 at the salon for a Keratin treatment. After doing a ton of research, I found that the worst damage I could do, would be a really hot hair straigtening so I decided to give it a shot. This product worked fantastic! It got my natural wavy hair straight, thicker, and fuller. I don't even have to blowdry it. It takes a while, and is good for a Sunday afternoon. It's worth every penny for those extra hours of sleep from lack of having to do my hair. It even holds the curl better when I want to make waves with a curling iron.

I used this instead of paying $250 to get a salon Brazilian blowout, and I thought it worked really good. I have short hair, which may have helped, but I just followed the instructions and made sure I had a flat iron that gets to at least 450 degrees. I used it about 4 weeks ago, and my hair is just starting to get wavy again. I wash my hair every day and also swim, so I think you could prolong the results by washing your hair less often. All in all I thought it gave me a good result and I will purchase again.

I bought this and used it for about 4-treatments.
I am african american and for my hair it lasts about a month.
It doesn't get as straight as when I went to the salon, but it was doable.
I don't like the idea of using this every month and have purchased another product.
The first time I followed the instructions and washed my hair, then dryed and then applied.
It only lasted about 3 weeks.
The 2nd, 3rd & 4th time, I did it like my salon and applied it after I rinsed out the shampoo and then dryed my hair.
These lasted longer, but I have ordered another product to see if it will last longer (3-months like the salon).

I used this product for the first time at the end of August. I actually saw a big difference in my hair, it was really shinny and soft. It reduced the frizziness of the hair and it doesn't get as puffy as it did before. But the results only lasted about 3 weeks and the product says that the results could last up to 3 months. I did read that the more you use the product the longer the results are and the better the results get. So we'll see how it goes. I recommend this product if you are looking for an alternative for an expensive brazilian blowout!
