[Golong]

I always thought a blowout was just hot heat but it's not. This video explains and shows the process.
*Now if I can just find keratin I'll be set.

ummm, you know this treatment contains formaldehyde, Right?

 

[Iamhim]

I guess I don't get it. It doesn't contain chemicals, but you need a fan for ventilation and a mask? Hmmmm.... this sounds fishy to me. I thought the clients hair looked better after the blow dry.

I ws thinking the same thing - no chemicals, but she had gloves, goggles, and a fan, because of the fumeserplexed. I'm sorry, but no conditioner I've ever used required all of that. Shoot you don't even need goggles for a relaxer This must be some powerful stuff

hummm....no I didn't know that.
Will any keritan do, or is this a special formula?

it's not the keratin that gets the hair straight, but a combination of the active ingredient formaldehyde and other stuff.

I'm convienced that this Brazilian treatment is the same exact thing as the Yuko system. With the name changed to Brazilian since Brazil is full of Afro folks, calling it such will make it marketable to other black folk. The Yuko (Japanese) system is the same process.

i agree there must be chemicals used. they were using words like "virgin hair" and said not to scratch the hair when shampooing . in the description it said this "softens" hair and is a straightening treatment. i can accept that it may not over-process. it seems like straightening/protein treatment and blow-out in one. it is still a chemical treatment. this is one for relaxed/tex'd heads only, imo.

I talked to cubanit, and she said she's going to buy the keratin and do it herself. She was deeply impressed. Kimmi is natural. HTH

If you PM cubanit, she will probably be able to get the information for you. HTH

I don't know about the treatment, but that "easy comb" looks interesting.

Those combs are sold at Sally's.

 

[Golong]

This treatment is expensive. Shoot...I will stick to my $5.00 home relaxer kit. Damn

Her hair did come out nice, but I would be like, where's my mask and goggles? Thanks for the video!

Thanks for telling us where we can get it at. I hope they know what I'm talking about, when I go in there tomorrow.

ETA: I think this is what she's using.

Seems like you still have to relax the hair...

Well - that is not for me.....

My co-worker got this treatment done last week. Her stylist still relaxed her hair. Her hair is stick straight yes, but she said that she experienced some breakage for the first few days (like running her hands through and little pieces breakage). Her hair dosen't look damaged and is still shiny and although it's stick straight it had movement. She even curled it with an iron and it had body.

I don't plan on doing this myself, but I will keep an eye on her hair...

I want to know the ingredients to this treatment.

Has anyone seen this article:http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/26/earlyshow/health/main3414868.shtml

 

[Golong]

it's sold with & w/out Formaldehyde. There is .02% Formaldehyde in the product that contains it, a percentage that has been proven safe and OK'd for the market. But I still don't need to take chances like that.

I'm still finding it odd that the claims of this product being formaldehyde free, still contain it but only in a smaller dosage.

Yeah! I want that easy comb too!

I have this in my fotki - it is a great vid.........

At the end of the day - why would something safe require a fan - rubber gloves and a mask????

I am not willing to take that chance.

 

[CurliDiva]

This whole thing seems FISHY to me - if the chemicals are so harsh that you need a fan, mask and thick rubber gloves, why is the client not protected too?

The only part that made me go hmmm was when she said to leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes to fully open the cuticle.

Would our conditioner work better (penetrate deeper) if we did the same for a regular and conditioning?

Oh yes, I can at least afford the comb.erplexed I was hoping to get this treatment for my daughter, but $300 is a bit much.

The stylists was also using a lot of heat - she blow dries it before applying the treatment and after applying it then used a flat iron set to 450 degrees and went over each section 10 times. Its like breaking even - rebuild hair w/keratin then damage it w/heat.

EXACTLY!! Shoot, if I flat ironed my hair at 450 degrees 10 times on each section my hair would be silky straight as well...and probably straight on the ground in a few days...

The formaldehyde allows the treatment to stick to your hair. It doesn't straighten the hair. The keratin does. The non-formaldehyde treatment works the same way, but it won't last as long and it won't make your hair that straight. I think people with perms should get the formaldehyde free formula. Virgin hair should get the version with formaldehyde. Either way, the keratin is supposed to protect your hair from heat damage. When I get my BKT done, my hair is washed and then the treatment is put on towel dried hair. I don't think it is necessary to blow dry the hair before the treatment is added.

My hair is natural so it doesn't get bone straight. The treatment washes out. That is why they consider it a non-chemical straighter b/c the effect isn't permanent. I agree that this statement is misleading. The fumes are strong. With proper ventilation, you can avoid it. Thankfully, I'm able to "stretch" my treatments by using very gentle shampoos (natural and organic). B/c of the high heat involved, I'd be reluctant to get BKT over a perm...especially since they do about 10 passes of the flat iron. (When my hair is done, the flat iron is passed about 3 to 5 times). I don't think buying regular keratin will have the same effect as BKT. I'm sure there is something else that makes the hair straight.

I don't consider BKT a conditioner. I consider it a chemical treatment. If you get it done, please continue to do your regular conditioner treatments (hydrating and protein treatments).
