Biting the bullet and ordering the Design Essentials Strengthening Therapy Transitioning Mousse. I know it won't get my hair straight, I just need something to reduce the puffiness/swelling etc. I'm hoping this stuff works for me.....
 
BrownBetty cutenss have you ladies tried the transitioning or elongation mousse. I want to know which one would give me the best sleek results and smoothness because i have a lot of frizz always. I have never tried any of these treatments and just want to make the best decision.

I find that it's a little pricey on ebay and the spray seems a lot cheaper, seen it for $45 whereas the mousse cost $144-$149 but is it better than the mousses? Maybe i can find a seller that has it for cheaper with free shipping.
 
You didn't ask me but I've tried the spray and elongation mousse, I prefer the mousse more as it got rid of my frizz, whereas the spray my hair looked good but it didn't keep the frizz away. In addition I didn't like having to flat iron my hair three consecutive weeks

I use the spray and mousse. I use the spray until I have time to do the mousse treatment. i like the mousse better as it is longer lasting. My hair does stay str8 for the most part.
 
Hi ladies are you all clarifying before every single application, or is it okay to just use a regular shampoo?

TIA
 
So i tried goin natural straight transition. Blowdrying it in sucked. It made my hair feel really stiff. Otherwise i got nice results when i washed it out. My curl was loosened and looked a tad silkier. I wll post pics later. I think its a good value for the price. It works the same as some of the more expensive brands ive used. as a seasoned bkter, i just prefer regular bkts. A regular bkt produces a better end result for all the work you do. I can get silky bone straight hair with weight with a bkt that i cant get with alternatives. This will be the last bkt alternative i try.
 
I use Keracare sulphate free shampoo before my treatment and. Your sulphate free shampoo does not have to be of the same brand as the product treatment, just as long as its good and cleanses well.
 
I used my cream of nature argan oil shampoo (which is sulfate free) the last time and my hair felt WONDERFUL.

I really just wanted to know if it was mandatory to used a clarifying shampoo before the treatment.

Normally I use my clarifying shampoo (which is the quantum chelating sulfate free one) & it leaves my hair feels super stripped after using it.
 
What happened to this thread? Any updates? Have your hair fully reverted? Are you still doing this treatment?
 
I'm still using the SoftLiss BKT. I had it applied in April and I plan on having it applied again mid July. I've been ignoring my hair lately, but haven't had any major set backs due to my BKT. I do have some breakage because I don't change the location of my bun, but that's my fault.
 
Has anyone successfully transitioned using DE or the other products? It sounds like most of you are already natural.

I'm ready to let go of the creamy crack but I need help :lol: and the DE sounds good.

Lisa Put the creamy crack down!!! I am successfully transitioning using DE Transitioning Mousse. This is a picture of my hair from yesterday:

I am currently 79 weeks post. Before using DE my hair would shed and be full. With it my hair has life. Now the last time I did it was beginning of June... So I'm very much so due. But life consumed me. But even to be a little over a month past the 12 week time frame before you can do it again, my hair still feels and looks good.

I loved DE because my natural curl pattern is still in tact. Plus even in extreme humidity my hair stays frizz free.
 
Thanks! The shedding is what always stops me from continuing my transition! I guess I will suck it up and pay the $160.

Good luck. Next order just get the Mousse and use your own sulfate free poo and DC/Leave-in. I use my own with similar ingredients and get great results.
 
Bump.

I said I would never use a bkt alternative again but here I am 10 years later considering them again. Will probably try out Arosci one more time and switch over to Nutree Afro botox
