BKT girls--What is your favorite brand of bkt?

[AtlantaJJ]

^^^Its becoming second nature to me, it's not a hard process really. Everyone just has to remember not to use too much solution. That's the only tricky part and its not really tricky if you follow those instructions.

If I can do it I know anyone can!

It's too complicated for me. I'm out, but I'll cheer for the rest of you.

I hear you, DD. The first time I did it, I thought "this is for the birds!" But it's really no different than applying a leave in conditioning treatment followed by blow dry and flat iron. I skip the first blow dry, altogether and apply my bkt to towel dried hair. I dip a small tooth comb in the solution and run it through my hair starting from the root. I do this all the way through, combing out any excess to put back in the application bowl. From wash to flat iron it takes me less than 2 hours and I'm 4a/b natural and APL. You just have to find the method that works for you.

I've only used QOD Gold and I lurve it.

I used BKS.(Brazilian Keratin Straight)
It's formaldehyde-free and I didn't experience any bad fumes. I didn't do the naked blow-dry part with a metal round brush, as recommended, but it still came out really nice.

I voted soft-liss im natural fine hair and I love it. It didn't make my hair bone strait and thats exactly what I was looking for.

Let me take that back on QOD gold. I like it... after I wash it out.

THis is the 2bd time I've applied, and even when it feels like I put nothing on my hair, it's like I've used too much. So it's still good but I have DULL hair the fist 72 hours.

QOD Gold is concentrated, it takes 1/3 less that regular BKT's I was told to use it very sparingly otherwise it will make the hair feel dry and coated. I haven't used mine yet but I find that all of them tend to be that way if I use too much liquid. I find when I it just right my hair shines, swings and flows before my first wash.

I have a crap load of global 4% left. It served me well but I want to try softliss. Anyone want to trade?

What about Dreamhair? I've heard good things about this.

I'm still doing research on the best product. I'm not BKTing until Christmas...

Dreamhair, Softliss and OK Keratin are the ones I hear the most consistent reviews about. I hear that OK Keratin is cheaper than Dreamhair but gives the same results; and that Softliss gets consistently great results but may not have enough spunk to contend with 4a/b roots (this from my texlaxed buddies).

Softliss is formaldehyde free; Dreamhair 2% and OK doesn't release the amount.

I called OK and they said less than two percent
