Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment blowout Straightening Product Professional Grade Natural Organic Looking Results at Home or Salon (4oz Keratin)

It really works – BUT
Wow, this stuff really, really works, BUT – as other users warned – the fumes are truly AWFUL during the process (this review will be very long and thorough do skip to the end if that’s all you’re interested in). I included pictures for reference: the first is my hair styled pre-treatment (even flat ironed it still felt slightly “crunchy” after the first day), second is blow dried before doing this treatment, and the last two are after I washed and lightly styled my hair after day three. You can really see the difference!First, the good:For background, my hair is 2b/c, medium thickness with waves and some curl, naturally red but I dye it soft black. I wash my hair about once a week, dry it with a quality blow drier, and use hot tools every day with good heat protectants. I’ve bleached and dyed my hair with both semi-permanent and permanent dyes twice over the past six months, but I’ve been doing my own hair for 15+ years and know how to do it safely and with minimal damage. I had also trimmed my hair about a month before doing this keratin treatment so I’d gotten rid of most of my split ends.It’s been about three weeks post-treatment, and WOW. The results did not disappoint! I used a different highly-rated keratin treatment last year that I also purchased from Amazon, and while it was good, this blows it out of the water. My hair is smooth, silky and my blow drying is cut in half! It takes about 5 minutes with a flat iron on 360 to smooth out any areas that I want really straight or smooth, and my hair still holds a wave or curl that I put in it. I have no flyaways, no frizz, and my hair still has enough body that it doesn’t just hang there like after the last treatment. I took an extra step during the application/flat ironing portion to keep body and volume in my hair, and I’ll detail in a minute.The process:The kit comes with clear instructions – first you wash your hair twice with clarifying shampoo (I use the clear Neutrogena anti-residue shampoo because it’s cheap and it works), then blow dry it straight; section your hair and apply the lotion liberally, combing through with a fine comb to saturate and remove the excess; blow dry your hair straight in sections (a good round brush really helps); finally, flat iron small sections at a time at 400-450 degrees (make sure you’re using a REALLY GOOD flat iron with temp control), going over each section 7-12 times until you no longer see fumes, getting each piece REALLY straight. Then wait overnight or for three days before washing, running your flat iron lightly over your hair once or twice each day to keep it smooth.What I did to keep some body and volume in my hair was to apply the lotion at least an inch from my scalp, and over direct the flat iron during the straightening stage by holding the section up and away from my head and slightly rotating the flat iron like I was going to curl it under, but only at the roots. I did this several times a day during the three day waiting period, and it made a huge difference! If your hair is naturally very curly or kinky it’s recommended to still apply the lotion near the scalp but to over direct the flat iron as I described.Now, ON TO THE BAD:This stuff is TOXIC. When people mentioned “fumes” and needing fans/applying outside, I honestly just figured they were exaggerating because most people aren’t used to doing their own hair. NOPE. Please, please believe me that this stuff is incredibly irritating to your eyes, nose and throat, and you MUST have proper ventilation AND at least one fan blowing away from you when applying and blow drying. I was also dumb and assumed the worst time for the fumes would be during the flat ironing stage, but it’s noxious as soon as you open the bottle. I tried to use swimming goggles without the strap because my eyes burned immediately, but that didn’t work out well; I also wore two disposable masks and still had to tie a kitchen towel over my mouth because my throat was burning like I was breathing acid. I moved out into my living room, opened the patio doors, turned on the ceiling fan and set up two additional standing fans, and I still felt it.All that being said, it’s not any more noxious than you would find in a salon; by doing it at home, you’re still getting the same results through the same process, but saving at least $200. Would I do it again? Absolutely! I’m going to do it again once these results wear off. Just be careful, and it’s worth it.

Used for several years
I am Caucasian with very curly frizzy hair….and I’m 72. I have used this at least once or twice every 8-10 months. It has always worked perfectly depending on my length of hair. It DOES lighten my hair color a couple shades (I am a medium ash brown and i become a light golden brown.) Bottom line, this product is $200 less than the salon. Yes, the fumes are strong; crack a window and turn on the ceiling fan. The only mistake we made (my daughter) was not repeating the heat flattening process. The directions say repeat 7-12 times? And it gets Smokey! You can do it 4-5 times at least. This last time my daughter whipped thru it once or twice so it didn’t take like before. Go three (3) days before washing it and use a sulphate free shampoo. I love this stuff! I wish it was available back in the 70’s!!!!!!!🥰

Transformed my coarse hair to silly and shiny will never change
I purchased this quite a few months ago. Since the last product I tried burnt my throat and eyes I dreaded using this product. I just went through the process and I cannot describe how spectacularly it worked!!! I do not know how long my silky shiny hair will last. I will not be disappointed of it only works for a month. I will gladly do it again. I applied and completed the process in about 2 hours. I also made sure that there was an open window with a fan facing outside and another fan pushing the air towards that window. The smell was not bad at all. My eyes burned for a few minutes while I was applying the product, however, it was bad at all. Normally it takes 45 minutes to dry my hair. After using this product it took about 15 minutes. I have extremely coarse thick curly hair with plenty of gray. Before this product I would pull my hair back into a ponytail and sadly my hair would pull out of the ponytail and completely frizz. I looked like a crazy woman. I have pulled my hair back and because my hair is not frizzy or curly it all stays in the ponytail because it seems longer. My sister goes to a salon and pays $400 for a keritan treatment, my results are better.

I applied this as recommended after using clarifying shampoo. I have used several keratin treatments at home in the past so I know what I am doing.Once I applied this to my clarified hair. I l covered it with a shower cap to keep it moist. When I lifted the shower cap to adjust, all this dry powder fell all over my face, clothes and eyes. Very afraid of the chemical in my eyes, I rinsed out my eyes quickly. There was slight burning. I quickly asked the product out of my hair as I had no idea what it would do to my hair.I contacted David as per the card that came with the product for any questions or concerns. He replied quickly for the first time but then it would be days between responses. There was a lot of back and forth to set up a time to call. At that point I went out of town and never heard back. I was hoping to get a replacement to be able to try the actual product as David said this was not normal. Not sure why we needed a phone call to discuss. He could have simply sent out a replacement. I ended up returning it as the return window was close.

After using this, my frizzy/curly hair blow dries sleek and straight, which is an absolute MIRACLE and a first for me.Unfortunately, on my tropical vacation it still frizzed/curled up in the extreme humidity.However, I think at home in my regular climate it will hold up better.
