Keratin Brazilian Blowout Treatment Extra Strength 120ml with Clarifying Shampoo - Enhanced Formula for Curly Hair By Keratin Research

The media could not be loaded. I cannot say enough about this product!!!I have thick curly Puerto Rican hair, it is unruly and despite the hundreds of dollars I've spent I cannot find a product that tames it.That being said as much as I do love my natural curls, I do not have the time to maintain it and style my hair everyday. I cannot justify spending $200-$300 on keratin treatments in the salon when the results usually do not last me longer than a month and a half. Due to the great reviews I decided to give this a chance and it has truly changed my life.I just cut my hair prior to applying the treatment, therefore I only used about a quarter of the bottle, however I included a photo of the length my hair was prior to the chop and I am certain 1 4 oz bottle would have been plenty to cover this length. I have very thick hair ,I regularly break hair ties and this was definitely enough.The fumes were not overpowering for me at all, I had to leave the bathroom door closed because I have a toddler in the house, but I simply opened the bathroom window and was totally fine, if you do not have proper ventilation then yes you will feel some stinging and burning in the eyes but it was much better than i expected. The salon is 100 times worse, I think there were maybe two instances when I felt "something' in my eyes and it was very mild and brief. Again though even if it were worse the results are totally worth it.The instructions are very easy to follow, if you've ever had a treatment done in the salon you already know what to do as they are the exact same steps. Even for first-timers its so easy.Lastly, just a note. I did NOT wear gloves when applying the treatment and my hands were incredibly dry for the two days following, after I showered they were beyond prune-ey. It was not painful or uncomfortable whatsoever, just very dry. This was completely my fault however, the instructions definitely DO say to wear gloves, I am only including this to let you know what happens if you do not.I purchased this kit to help me with the application process and it definitely helped, especially considering this is a one time purchase and can be used for all future applications. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9GNPYG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1First photos are pre-treatment (and pre-haircut) and the video is AIR-DRYED with only morrocan oil on the ends. I always think it is way more helpful to see the air-dryed post-treatment results, as of course right afterwards your hair is flat-ironed.If you are at all hesitant about this product GET IT. I will never go back to the salon for a keratin again.If this review was helpful to you, please mark yes :)

Holy moly. This stuff actually works! I used this system on a day when I had nothing else to do, so I didn't feel rushed. I started with the clarifying shampoo, which I used three times in the shower, once standing upright, once with my head flipped, and then again right side up. I did use a scalp scrubber to really make sure it was squeaky clean. I let my hair air dry for a while without touching it (didn't want to add oils from my hands) and then went in with the blow-dryer. Once my hair was 100% dry, I did three big sections - top left, top right and bottom. Then I sectioned out my problem area, which for me is my hairline. I decided I wanted to apply the product to my problem area first so it would have the longest time to process. After doing my hairline, I did small sections working from the bottom up. I followed the directions on the box. Once my whole head was done, I let it sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I blowdried. This was the most tedious part. My hair is extremely long and thick and this took forever. Even when I was "done" I still felt like my hair was a bit "sticky". I then went in with my flat iron at 410°. I again followed box instructions, going over small sections of hair 7-12 times. I did this on a Tuesday, and then flat ironed my hair again each day after before my first wash. The box does suggest doing this, but I hadn't seen that advice anywhere else. My hair is probably 3b curly and VERY frizzy. After my first wash, my curl pattern is definitely diminished, as is the frizz around my hairline that was my biggest issue. Yes, my eyes burned while blowdrying. I don't care. These results are worth it.

I was very disappointed. I left it on my hair for 3 days before washing it out, and my hair was straight for a little over 2 weeks.. I used a different brand last time, and the results were so much better, and it was less expensive. I tried this product only because the chemical odor was so strong on the previous one, and the reviews said that this one barely had an odor. This is true.

After reading most of the reviews before I purchased the Keratin Forte, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve bought the Keratin research plain one before, not the forte and with a professional application, that worked out very well for me. My hair is frizzy and has some curl/wave with a few kinks. This time, i didn’t have help with the application and was therefore apprehensive about it’s effectiveness. I managed it with some difficulty because my hair is almost waist-length. Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised with the quantity. I thought i might have to use it up fully but only ended up using half the bottle. Second, the product didn’t smell bad. But I have caution new users: my eyes burned a lot and watered like crazy. I used a fan to blow the air behind me but it still burned. As the stylist had previously shown me, i massages the product into my hair well, running my fingers up and down the hair sections, smoothing in the product, removing any excess. Once the application was done, I waited as directed. A trick a professional hair stylist had taught me, was to use a shower cap so the product remains damp in the hair and doesn't dry out. After the recommended time, i blow dried it first using a round brush and the flat ironed it like heck. Mine is a lower heat iron so i used it on each section multiple times. It burned a lot again. I left it on for 2 days and washed it the third. I’m so happy with the results! My hair is smooth and fully free of FRIZZ! There’s a hint of a wave here and there which i don’t mind because it makes it look natural rather than poker straight and unnatural. My hair is shiny, soft and easy to manage! Drying it is a breeze, literally.

The media could not be loaded. Love this product. If you use as directed, you will see amazing results! My hair did not get frizzy when we vacationed in Florida! I also applied to my daughter’s hair! She also loves her results! Will definitely use again!
