Love the End Result
I am not much for writing reviews, but since I rely on reviews when I am trying to decide whether to buy something or not, I thought I would provide my experience with this product which I used for the first time today. Now, my hair is frizzy, kinky curly and definitely hard to management, especially in Florida’s heat and humidity. I think in my life time (I’m 56) I have had more bad hair days than good. So, I am no stranger to methods of straightening my hair. I had my first keratin treatment several years ago and before that I had the Japanese Hair Straightening which has its own drawbacks, but shelling out $250 or more on any regular basis is just not in the budget. Previously, I was using Bio Ionic Agave Smoothing System. It is the same process, washing with clarifying shampoo, blow drying hair, putting on the treatment, leaving it on for 30 minutes, blow drying it in, and then flat ironing it. Then you need to let the hair cool for about 20 minutes, and then you need to shampoo hair again (with a sulfate free shampoo), condition and blow dry and flat iron hair again. Plus, if you had hair color in your hair, this product does lighten it quite a bit, and if you wanted to color your hair you have to do it right after the last step, otherwise you needed to wait a week. Needless to say I would spend a lot of time doing this, and the end result was just okay. The Agave product had a caramel scent to it, and you did not need a mask while applying it or anything, but the scent kind of stayed with you and that part I did not like. So, after using the Agave for over 3 years I wanted to try something else.So, I started to look for another product and of course I came to Amazon to start my search. After reading the other reviews, I decided to give this a try. I was a little nervous at first because I think this product is stronger than what I was using previously. I read where people wrote that it made their eyes water and to make sure to do this procedure in a well ventilated area. The problem is that I live in a really small apartment that does not have good air flow. I turned on all the ceiling fans and the bathroom fan along with a stand up fan that I had. When I needed to blow dry the product into my hair, I sat by the sliding glass door with the fan blowing on me so the fumes would go outside. This product did make my eyes water and I am not used to wearing a face mask, so I did have a little bit of a problem with that, but I was able to get through it rather quickly. When it was time to flat iron my hair, I did it by the door as well and overall there did not seem to be a lot of fumes. I am not sure if this was because I was mindful of the amount of the product I had put in my hair, or I just did not notice it. I bought the smaller bottle (4 ounces) just in case I did not like it, and only used 2 ounces for my shoulder length hair.The first thing I really loved about this product is that it did not strip my hair color so compared to the product I was using previously. Since the it had extra steps that needed to be done, I would easily spend 4 hours with the whole process. With this keratin treatment, it took me only about 2 hours. This product left my hair really smooth, and I have not noticed any type of scent. I liked the idea that I could wash it relatively quickly after the treatment, and I thought that I would be washing my tomorrow, but I did not feel that it will be necessary. The only thing I would suggest is that if you have never had a keratin treatment before and want to try doing one on your own, to have someone with you to help you with the process.

I liked my look after using this product,the hair become straight and healthy looking, just wash it and leave it without using anything elseI recommend it 👍

Worked very well for my extremely frizzy, thick hair. Used up the entire bottle, if your hair is very thick like mine, but past bra strap length you might need more than one bottle (or a larger bottle). Yes the smell is bad when you blow dry and flat iron. I sat in front of 2 open windows and an open balcony door, in the Canadian winter weather. Close your eyes when you iron or blow dry the pieces in the front of your face. Application is long. Very happy with the results, my hair feels healthier, is more shiny and WAY more manageable. I will post both and after pictures. Both pictures are of my hair after a shower with no styling at all.

I believe the description of this product was changed to remove the 20ml clarifying shampoo pack after I placed my order. I didn’t have any clarifying shampoo (which is still part of the instructions on the leaflet).Anyhow I started the treatment myself, washing out with a regular clarifying shampoo until I could feel almost zero residue in my hair. Following the rest of the instructions to the tee I had to block off 6 hours of my day to cover every bit of my super long hair. You don’t need a large bottle or 2 bottles if you are primarily using this product to cover up the new growth of hair. Since the lower part of my hair is still pretty straight from my keratin last year, I only applied residual left over product to the ends.The trick is to apply a generous amount of product and then when you flat iron make sure that you keep ironing the strands until you see no more steam (Product will steam under hot iron). Start with small chunks and don’t rush this process. I have very long hair and was able to complete the treatment myself in 5.5 hours. I think it would have definitely taken less time with an extra set of hands. I also found that there is no need to keep the product in more than overnight. I woke up the next morning and had to re-iron some of my strands as sleeping on my hair had left it in a crunch.In terms of recommending this product – yes I was super annoyed when I didn’t receive the clarifying treatment but this is hands down one product that Works! I have been quoted up to $700 for a salon keratin treatment for hair my length and this is such a huge save! If you take care of it, this treatment will last months.
