Gold Label Professional Keratin Blowout Treatment 240 Milliliter Cream for Coarse Curly Black, African, Dominican and Brazilian Hair Types – Enhanced Formula

Underpromised and Overdelivered!
ABOUT ME:— I started with combination 3c/4a hair— it was Virgin hair (i.e. I did not have any heat damage as I only flat ironed my hair maybe once a year and it had not been chemically treated or dyed)PROS:1) perhaps it’s my specific hair type, but I think this product worked much better than I had anticipated. I thought that my hair type would perhaps go to a non-frizzy 3b, which I honestly would have been happy with, but it is now closer to 2c (loose curls and waves)!2) my hair feels SILKY smooth. If you’re looking for a product that will minimize frizz, then this is the product. My hair feels moisturized, soft, and does not tangle easily. I’ve honestly never spent so little time washing it or used so little product in the shower lol, so I may save quite a bit of time and money on that end.3) So long as you are experienced, patient, and can follow directions PRECISELY, then it is manageable to apply this product at home. You must work in very small sections. You must be in a well ventilated area, like doors and Windows open with a large fan blowing the fumes away from your face.CONS:1) this is quite a lengthy process, some folks should be honest with themselves about their abilities to perform the treatment with the level of patience and detail required. From start to finish, it took me 8 hours, although part of that is due to how curly my hair is and the length (about waist length).2) the fumes can be a lot if you’re not careful. I didn’t have too many issues other than light burning of my eyes when doing the front of my hair and wasn’t facing my fan, and the sensation was like cutting onions. I would not feel comfortable performing this treatment in the same room as pets or children.3) obviously because of the high heat used, you will experience some heat damage at your ends. Again, working with healthy hair, mine was minimal. I suggest making sure you can also trim your hair or go for a quick trim while your hair is straight and before your first wash.CONCLUSION:I would only recommend this product to someone with the time, energy, and patience to do the treatment CORRECTLY. If this isn’t you, leave it to the professionals. If you think you’re up for the challenge, the results will be superb. I will definitely use this product again once it wears off — the day long struggle was worth it compared to all the time and product I’ll save between now and then.

Got my hair very straight!
This was exactly what I was looking for! I used the gold standard and did 6-7 passes with my iron at 410 and left it for the full 3 days. Being mixed ethnicity, my hair is very fine, very coily (4a), prone to dryness, and has been colored—so I worry about damage but these parameters worked perfectly to straighten my hair and left it looking and feeling super healthy. The attached photo is immediately after washing out the treatment on day 3 and AIR drying.I’m military and need to be able to wrestle my hair into a tidy bun daily without taking too much time or pulling a ton of it out. This product did precisely what I needed it too, and that was straighten my hair as much as possible and faster drying. It has a chemical smell but less than other keratin treatments I’ve used. Compared with GK, this was more effective, more affordable, and burned my eyes less. Note: I do my treatment outside with two powerful fans to aid in ventilation and use gloves. Depending on how long it stays straight this will be my new go to.Pros: effective to straighten coils, simple instructions, less chemical smell than some, less eye irritation than othersCons: more time consuming than others (need to blow-dry twice)
