It was worth it! Customer for life!
I originally didn’t think to write a review on this product because I was afraid that over the months I would not like it. But considering I’m on repurchase number three, there must be something about it that makes me feel that it’s worth it. I moved away from relaxed here over a decade ago. And if you know how to deal with any type of curly or type for hair, then you know it’s no joke. Curls and fairy knots simply twist into one another all the time. And I was really getting sick of the ferry nuts. Also dealing with split ends can be quite the pain and detangling is always a much longer task than it should be. So with that, a girlfriend of mine who also has type for hair recommended that I tried this product to help lessen the amount of fairy nuts and help with the detangler process. She said that for her she would apply it just like a relaxer, but it would not permanently straighten her hair. So I tried it. The very first time I looked at the amount of ounces that comes in this thing and thought for sure there is no way there’s enough product to get my complete head of hair done. And I kind of feel I was right. They really need to update this to 2 1/2 ounces at minimum for us girls with a lot of hair. I found that the shampoo and conditioner was enough, but the treatment itself is never enough. AnyWho, the shampoo is one that truly strips the hair of all oils and product. No problem with it at all as it had a good smell and good lather to it. I’ve always used the entire bottle just to make sure I’m operating on a squeaky clean head of hair. I’ve also made sure to read all of the instructions to a T. When it comes to the actual application of the treatment, I saw many people complaining about how it burned, their eyes or how strong it was. And I absolutely thought that they had to be lying. But they are not!!! You should absolutely be using gloves and some form of an air filter or ventilation system when applying this treatment to your hair. That would be the middle bottle labeled step two. It might look like nothing, but if you hold it up to your nose or your eyes, which I hope that you never do, just know that it will absolutely burn! While applying it to my hair, and I absolutely tried my very, very best to put the least amount on as possible, I realized as a strand of my hair got close to my eyes, that this product was no joke. I literally started crying. My eyes watered so bad. I wish I had done this outside! And once I turned the blow dryer on the low setting or cool setting as recommended in the instructions to make sure the product was completely dried on my hair, I realize that the entire room will fill with the smell. This must be the same smell that happens when you go to the Dominican salons because it was strong. Again, I highly recommend a well ventilated room or having an air filter and air vent on at the exact same time. The amount of fumes that you cannot see but you can absolutely smell in your eyes will burn is worth a face mask and goggles. I’m not exaggerating. For me the most fuming portion of my process was turning on my flat iron to flat iron the product into my hair, as that is what happens with most keratin treatments. That is when the true fumes and irritation can begin. Once I learned the trick of turning on the vent and having an air purifier in the room, it was a lot better for me and it got much easier. But on another note, keep in mind the temperature that you use for your flat iron because it does recommend a very high heat of over 400° which is extremely hot. I’ve had other professional stylists recommend a slightly lower temperature between 350 and 395 but they also had to do several passes along the hair in order to ensure that it was ironed on from root to tip. In my eyes, I would much rather that because I don’t want to burn the hair. In the step where it tells you to watch the hair out is where I realized that it had worked. I could feel how smooth my hair was the smell did not last. And the conditioner was quite softening. My final flat iron was an absolute breeze and so was the blow dry. I have found that reapplying this product on type four hair at the same timeframe that you would a relaxer, meaning every 10 to 12 weeks or maybe a little longer if you can, is worth the price. For example, if you had a relaxer that was professionally done in a salon and paid at least $100-$150 out the door every 10 to 12 weeks in comparison to paying lesson $50 and doing it yourself. Then you can see how this can really add up. I’m sad this thing never goes on sale. Otherwise I would buy a few of them and put it under my cabinet in the bathroom for future use. I can honestly say the very first time I was scared as heck so I did it to the tea, but my results were amazing. Bad keratin treatment lasted me 14 to 16 weeks. And because I’ve gotten better with the application process I’m at the point where I can stretch it to about 18 to 20 weeks. I will never go back to a relaxer again as long as this product is available to me. And while I complain and you read all of that other stuff above about how my eyes were watering and I was crying in the fumes and having good ventilation, I must say this is one of the better products that I have experienced on the market. My fairy nuts are gone. I still have to trim my ends regularly, but I have slightly less split ends. My silk presses come out very well. Humidity doesn’t hit me nearly as bad as it could. And my ponytail has that swing to it! I love it. If you are second-guessing, whether this will work for you, I would say it’s worth less than 50 bucks to try it at least once before going to a Dominican salon or your regular stylist to pay a lot more. Just try it. And if you don’t like this particular brand maybe there is another one out there for you. But overall, this one definitely gets the job done in a one time application if you need that type of service. Your hair will be shiny. You will like the smell of the conditioner, not the treatment. And overall, your results in smoothness will be a lot more visible and manageable. So give it a shot. And give me a thumbs up if you agree that it’s worth a try.Ver másVer menos
