Keratin Research Keratin Brazilian Keratin Hair Blowout Treatment Extra Strength, 120ml, for Curly Hair, Enhanced Formula with Moroccan Argan Oil and Queratina Brasilera Tratamiento Forte

Hair Models Must Be Gatekeeping This!
I’m amazed at this product and disappointed I didn’t find it sooner.I am half asian half caucasion and have naturally 2A/2B frizzy hair. My hair is dyed brown from black, so the damage makes it course and frizzy as well. I followed the salon directions to a T and I now have stick straight, silky, healthy, and bouncy hair that dries in half the time as it did before. The only thing I did differently than what the directions said was substitute the shampoo and conditioner for a sulfate and sodium chloride free set by PUREnature. I had a Brazillian blowout once, when I was in my early 20’s and this gave a much nicer result for way cheaper.TIPS:Application- I applied using a brush and sections and used gloves. The next time I do it, I will apply less product. I used about 1/3 of the 120 mL bottle and the hair only needs to be combed through with enough product. There should not be product dripping off the ends. My hair is also 20″ so a little goes a long way.Fumes- They are seriously strong and made my eyes water. Like others, I used the vent fan in my bathroom and kept my apartment windows/balcony door open. If you plan on doing this it might be wise to purchase a pair of safety goggles.Drying – I used my Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer and could not imagine doing it again without it. It help speed up the drying process while keeping the hair detangled.Straightening- I recommed using a good quality straightener that heats evenly to the desired temperature mentioned in the instructions. I had to borrow one from my mom and will be looking into getting a better one down the road because it didn’t clamp or heat evenly so it made it difficult to get all of the fumes out. I straightened my hair for 3 hours after drying, using very thin (almost see through) sections. I also applied a heat protectant and let it sit 10 minutes beforehand because it started smelling like burnt hair and I saw tutorials on youtube where they used a heat protectant. I also took the opportunity to apply jojoba oil on the ends and have that heated into the follicle as well (jojoba is most similar to the molecule size of natural hair oil). After most of the fumes/product was out of my hair (you can feel the difference where there is product that still needs straightened out), I kept it in for the recommended 72 hours, straightening when I didn’t have anything else to do at home. When I do this again, I will definitely avoid placing product directly on the scalp because you can feel it and it is not fun to sit with for 3 whole days.TLDR; this stuff works if you follow the directions well. Great investment for the price and avoiding the hassel of styling/drying hair. Going to save a bunch of time=money for the next 5 months. For $55 (including the shampoo and conditioner I purchased separately) completely worth it! Very satisfied.

There are fumes…..
I tried a different treatment and it didn’t last. This one has especially if you follow the directions. There are fumes and the instructions are different than other treatments I have used but this one seems to be the longest lasting. Hardest thing is trying to not wash your hair for 72 hours. I will definitely take that into consideration next time. Also just for reference, I live in Central Florida and my hair is a giant frizzy mess from May to October til I tried this product.

This product worked for me as well as a triple the price express Brazilian blowout done by a hairdresser on a cruise ship. I have thick, coarse, wavy hair so I see this as an added tool-not an easy 100% done treatment. When my last treatment wore off/ grew out-I thought my flat iron was failing. When I did the treatment-followed the instructions EXACTLY my hair was back to behaving with my smoothing products and tools. My hair remains wavy when wet and unstyled but this treatment is a great styling aid that lasts months so great value for the price. I gave it a 2 for the scent-it is powerful (this is on the instructions).

I am a Brazilian living in Canada and I think the straightening treatments with Brazillian products here are very expensive. I was looking for a product that would give me good results for a good price. So I bought this one and it is pretty good. I got my hairdresser to apply it for me and the total cost was less than half of what I would pay for a straightening treatment around my area (and the hairdresser used only 1/3 of the bottle, so I can apply this product another 2 times, I have shoulder length hair). It did a fantastic job, my hair was straight and smooth for a couple of months and right now it is becoming curly again but still good and easy to blow dry and style. Much easier than it was before I tried this product. It will help me to tame my hair until I get back home and do the real treatment.

It didn’t work the way I expected, I have a dark, medium thickness, curly hair and it just didn’t straighten my hair as expected. The smell was really bad even though I did it outside. Nonetheless my hair feels super healthy, looks shiny and is a bit less wavy than normal.
