Keratin Treatment Support Thread

[*fabulosity*]

Fab your hair looks...fabulous lol. I'm still mad I can't see your albums,I'm feeling like a stalker . These picks only make me want to see your progress more.lol. Come on now.

THANK U!!!

LMAO... stop it girl! I added you. At least I thought I did...
Got a big bundle of BKT friendly products coming your way. Yeah your other shipment is still in a box..

Now if you come with the Toccara comments you will be blocked.. LMAO.. just kidding!

 

[ebonylocs]

I was thinking, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to do BKT as a sloooooow process, or if there is any product specifically designed to allow you to do this.

I'm imagining a product you could use as a daily leave-in, or that you could apply to your hair, rollerset and sit under a hooded dryer (and maybe wash out or not after it was dry), that gradually, over time, would bond keratin to your hair without the need for the fumes or the long flat ironing (which I'm not very willing to do), and over time increase your hair's manageability and strength.

Come on, our chemistry geniuses, where you at?

 

[ebonylocs]

Is it just me, or does it seem that permanently dyeing the hair ala bigen, after bkt would seal in the results of bkt...making it last even longer, No?

No. Not at all. Dyes make the hair more porous. That's why they recommend dyeing before the BKT, so that the treatment can penetrate. Then the BKT will seal the hair up. I would think that it's best to dye before the BKT, and if you're going to dye, do it several weeks after the BKT when you don't mind your hair reverting somewhat, or if you're planning to do another BKT very soon.

Okay, I am currently drying my rollerset hair - using my bonnet hair dryer which keeps disassembling...I really need a Pibbs in my life- but anyhoo....this is what happened.

I prepooed with castor oil on ends and Amla oil on hair strands and my scalp overnight. Today, I poo'ed with Joico Luxe for thicker hair. I then Silicon Mixed my hair for an hour or so. I applied a black rinse and let sit for about an hour as well.

What I noticed is that the black rinse may have contained a type of salt because my hair is much poofier than before, it really looked like my regular hair. Prior to this, I had perfect loops, except for my 3 inch straight ends - thanks to my semi-regular flat ironing episodes. Now, rollersetting (Salerm 21 and Water, followed by Aphogee Keratin spray) was quite a breeze, but tedious because I haven't done it in about a year. I had minimal shedding/breakage.

I will see what happens once my hair dries. I will more than likely have to sleep with my rollers, so I'll give you guys updates asap.

My plan is to saranwrap my hair after all is said and done. If my hair turns out as I think it will, I have hit The Holy Grail.

Pray for me, Sistas, pray for me. I really really want this to work.

It is expected that dyeing after the BKT would make your hair more frizzy - dyes make your hair more porous to get the colour in. Next time, dye before BKTing.

2nd BKT and rinse application
(I got done an hour ago.. I'm gonna be tired as hell..glad it's Friday)

I love BKT. I never wear my hair "straight" straight.. but I think I'm doing it today from sheer exhaustion and I didn't do my mask. I'll do that when I get home from work.

Beautiful results FAB!!!!!!!!!!!1 I love it! Your hair looks so thick and healthy.

 

[*fabulosity*]

It turned out very nice!

Thank you so much! I am in l-o-v-e with Softliss too. Although I couldn't find anything bad about the Nanokeratin one.. The only fact is that it is permanent.. but how is possible to have a permanent "coating". I emailed for a list of ingredients. Will report back.

My goodness. Your hair is

Sheba1! Thank you so much... it's finally like hmmm all these products must be doing something...lol.

Beautiful results FAB!!!!!!!!!!!1 I love it! Your hair looks so thick and healthy.

VJ.. thanks!! I used soo much less this time; it's like the previously BKT'ed hair just soaked it up. It was pretty much silky (not coated feeling like the first time) after the blow dry with the softliss in. And then I just made sure I concentrated at the edges (my most resistant areas) with the little mini sedu straightner. I like this schedule; every 4 weeks, but I wonder if the cost to do that will be prohibitive. I think I am buying the 32 oz one next; because it's me and my mom and I have slight feeling they are gonna increase the price. I wish BKT had been in my life much sooner.

To bolded. It seems to me that the Nano keratin one is a conditioning treatment that repairs hair only. Like it is not for manageability of curls, or loosening curls, or straighter hair. It's just a treatment. I could be wrong but this is what I get from what I've read and this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLmZGCcIDrA

 

[*fabulosity*]

Hey girl.. I think nanokeratization is like a process .. and this company is called "Nanokeratin".. they have their own video on YT and it is just like a BKT... they do the process in this video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgEY3_KBWuw&feature=channel

So I'm really interested in their stuff and their aftercare poos and items.. and I emailed them.. Here's what I got.. I'm thinking about getting their poo/con/hair power treatment and perhaps their bkt.... I'll use my mom as the guinea.. she doesn't mind being straight forever... lmao..

Thank you for your interest in Nanokeratin System!

The Nanokeratin System is the innovative straightening method your clients will love! It is an efficient process with perfect results in just four steps. By coating hair with keratin it repairs it, nurtures it and eliminates frizz leaving hair beautiful, soft flexible, shiny and healthy.

A breakthrough in the field of hair straightening and repair. The system utilizes nano-molecular keratin, these particles are so minuscule that millions of them can be gathered onto a pin head. The Nanokeratin particles are deposited and locked deep within the damaged hair, enclosing it within a permanent non-soluble coating, mimicking natural keratin.
The result is smooth, shiny, silky, healthy hair. The Nanokeratin treatment renews hair and helps it withstand humidity.

Fab I did the same thing this time, I used about half as much as I did last time. I used about 2oz and I did not get any headaches from the fumes. Less is definitely more with the BKT!

I initally said I wouldn't BKT until Thanksgiving. I'm so glad I didn't wait. Next time I have to be extra careful not to use too much. The first time I got it right, the second time I used too much in the back especially.

I'm going to use Sheba's comb through method next time to comb out the extra product and make sure it's evenly distributed along the hair strand.

Yes, but it appears they are aiming at professional hairdressers who they expect to get several client applications out of the kit and make a profit out of each.

Wow. So it's similar to BKT but it's Permanent like a relaxer? I wonder if it changes the bonds in the hair. I know it says BKT but most can be washed out and this doesn't seem to be that way. I wonder what they say about changing the bonds of the hair?

 

[angenoir]

A question for the relaxed ladies who BKT.... Are any of you phyto relaxed???

Yeah that's the grey area. I sent them a long email... asking about the ingredients... how it is a "permanent" coating (coat to me doesn't sound like alter) .. if it has formaldehyde or not... when you can wash it out.. and the price of just the BKT... I mean they have that package for 260 which includes the iron... I really don't think it is that expensive compared to the other ones... all the "try me" packages come with a flat iron.. which I don't need. I just hope you don't have to have license to get them.. Like I would love to get the try me kit without the clarifying poo and the straightening iron. But perhaps I can get my mom or one of my friends to go halfsies on it with me... because we would each get a shampoo and a leave in.

Their shampoos and cons and treatments sound yummy... I would love to see how they work in conjunction with the BKT.. even if I don't buy their straightner...

I paid $108 for the Softliss 8 oz kit... so I also asked them if they could make a kit with just the aftercare poo and con, the hair power treatment, and 6 oz of the BKT.

 

[donewit-it]

I completed my second BKT application over the weekend.

4a natural by the way. I am so happy with the results. I can't believe my hair is so soft from this product.

I plan to do it once a month.

Does the Aloe Shampoo have sodium in it?
I've been co-washing with HE totally twisted (which is safe) and sealing with castor oil.

My hair dries so much faster now too.

Two thumbs up.

Hi kgard7777,

You know that I made some research before I got my BKT and I found that OK is no brazilian!!! is made here in USA, but they sell it as Brazilian Keratin, that help me me alot to make up my mind..if the product was a good one they shouldn't to say that is brazilian if it's not.. Anyways..I end getting Softliss which work great in my hair..I got the Morango one (strawberry) and I'm really happy with the results..my hair looks great know!!

I'm glad to hear you are happy with your BKT!!
What made you decide to get the strawberry? I got the chocolate because the lady on the phone said it was good for dry hair. I wonder if there is really a difference..???

It is interesting the OK is made in USA!

 

[imstush]

wow I haven't been in this thread in ages. I need to catch up. I still don't get how/understand why most of you ladies are reapplying so often. I did mine June 18, and my hair still has the treatment. As a matter of fact I've been wearing it curly because of the heat and even my curls look more wavy then anything.

Anyhoo off to go read and catch up

I for one sweat mine out and or color it out because I use cellophanes which contains sodium chloride.

Basically what she said.. Mine still had the treatment; but just like you have new growth from a perm; I got new growth from my BKT.. which combined with the sweat from the gym and the frequent cowashes (2x/week) it was wearing off at the roots.. but I think it gets even more concentrated each time... but from our experience (VeeJee) your hair takes less each time to coat it... I don't think I'll ever let mine wear completely off... I wear my hair down too much. I love this stuff... I think it is the best find on LHCF since OCT/MT.

We threw my dad a big milestone Bday party Saturday.. I sweated like a hebrew slave and my hair was still straight. Now usually even a perm (unless it was fresh) would have some puffiness.. but I had no hair swell. (I'll put the pictures in my fotki later) My family was all in like what is in your hair girl... how much is it.. we need it. .. Hair was sweating out all over the place.. Mine was wet.. but still straight! Now those who want to remain curly q's might not want that.. but I lovvvvvve it.

Fab,

Isn't the BKT wonderful?! I just can't believe how my hair will NOT frizz! I've been in about 95% humidity with ZERO puff or frizz. The clears had to "scrunch" their hair because it was too humid to wear it straight and they were trying to figure out why I didn't have that problem..haha, it's my little secret haters..haha:wink2:.

Fab, if I do go back curly (and that's a BIG IF..lol I was curly for 9 years and it's overated) I will use a stronger BKT than Softliss.

Here are some pictures of my newgrowth with Softliss:

I want to find a BKT that will eliminate the waves..lol.

YES!!! That party was the test and it passed with flying colors.. it was 96 here in Michigan that day and I was running around like a chicken. I just knew it was going to frizz..

I remember reading about it like last year and thinking I wanted to do it.. but got scared about the formaldehyde and the crazy price. But then I saw the one with no formaldehyde (thanks to you ... HUGS).. and it was on and popping.

about the clears.. you did see my weave check story in OT.. lol.. clears are just naturally "curious".. I sound like Uncle Ruckus.. lmao..

at Curly being overrated... Your hair is either way!!

Fab,

I'm so mad I didn't do this back in 2007 when I was 100% natural. I was too chicken. Shoot, I only know as much as I do about BKT from Sheba1, she should write a BKT book!

I remember back in the day when I did my BC I swore off all chemicals and LOVED my curly hair, well after 9 years of combing that mess and being a slave to the humidity I was too through. I don't mind it curly IF I can wear it straight WHEN I want too without it expanding like a bag of popcorn in moisture. If I can't have it like that, then I don't want it..lol.

LOL@ your weave checked thread... Dang, why all the questions from the clears..lol? They always wanna KNOW something..lol. >>>www.google<<< that's where I send em..haha.

I love your Avatar, BTW. Your hair is beautimous!!

Your hair with highlights is incredible. I'm so scared to do the highlights again.. I want them but then I remember every single time I got highlights My hair would break off.. well that was not knowing how to properly moisturize my hair.. Folks scared of heat.. I'm scared of coloring/bleach!!! My plan is to transition using the BKT.. my natural texture isn't unmanageable.. it's just that I was so clueless about other stuff. But I know without a relaxer my hair will take color good and I really won't have to worry about breaking off (now knowing what I know).

Thanks so much dear.. that pic was AFTER the cupid shuffle!! And it was still "SKRAIGHT".

Not that you didn't before, but I love straight hair. Anyhoo, I don't see pics in your fotki, do you have any? Or do you have to have a special password.

Yes it the yummiest! Cuteness, Aveda will do highlights on natural hair . It's probably better to go in with it straight so they can nagivate through your head quickly.

Your hair with highlights is incredible. I'm so scared to do the highlights again.. I want them but then I remember every single time I got highlights My hair would break off.. well that was not knowing how to properly moisturize my hair.. Folks scared of heat.. I'm scared of coloring/bleach!!! My plan is to transition using the BKT.. my natural texture isn't unmanageable.. it's just that I was so clueless about other stuff. But I know without a relaxer my hair will take color good and I really won't have to worry about breaking off (now knowing what I know).

Thanks so much dear.. that pic was AFTER the cupid shuffle!! And it was still "SKRAIGHT".

I know I'm missing somebody.. but I read this thread until my eyeballs fell out. It was totally worth it.

Thank you, I'm finally getting used to my highlights. I LURVE black hair and I inevitably go back back to black so it has taken some getting used to.

My hair is very, very strong and being double-processed doesn't hurt my hair at all. I just keep it moist and I think the BKT will help reinforce my hair's strenght too. They should hire us to pitch this stuff..lol.
