It’s not for you! Many have been told that getting the Keratin treatment is the next best thing, but in my opinion it is worst then getting a relaxer (I will talk about relaxers in a future article). I remember while in beauty school my teacher applied that stupid Keratin Treatment…. more like Keratin Trickment
and let me tell you that the process alone had me uncomfortable. As a hairstylist I like to know what my clients go through, in order to give them accurate feedback and advice. Well, let’s get back to this Keratin treatment; so yes, first the smell is horrible, and then they have to saturate this “chemical” into your strands and then flatiron it into your hair(my teacher wrapped my hair in foil while flat ironing to get the maximum heat) then he washed it out. After washing it out he blow dried it( more heat) then he flat iron again( more heat). And granted my hair was super straight and looked so good but…..
After a few weeks of washing my hair and then straightening my hair, my curls were not returning as it used to be.. (And they said this gets your hair straight without compromising your curls… B.S.) My hair in a month or so, looked so bad it was limp and stringy. I basically had to cut it completely off (No transitioning trims, I had to CUT IT OFF) Why? well it would start tangling with the new growth and clumping up.
I would never do that again or recommend anyone to get the treatment. And don’t listen to anyone who says their is a natural one.. If anything is added to you hair and straightens it, trust me it ain’t natural. Yes, it looks good in the beginning but you will never see the long term damage until it’s too late. Look! once heat is applied to your hair, it will start to change, and that’s a fact!!!
