Forever! I think it only took 45 minutes to put it on and then I put on a plastic cap for about 15 minutes. The blow dry took a good 30 minutes. The flat ironing took about 3 hours. You are supposed to take small sections and that just took an extreme amount of time with all of my hair. I also had to stop/start a few times because I have kids.

Question.. what does your wet hair look like now.......

There was no significant difference! I couldn't believe it. I was expecting much looser texture but no. My napps said, "Chile, you need to come harder than this
! I am definitely still natural. It was much easier to detangle which is all I wanted so it was successful for me. I might re-do it in a month or so...

Hey Bronze,
Yes, I re-did it about 2 weeks ago. My texture was different when I washed it out this time---a bit looser. I was even going to try a wash and go but I don't think I'm quite there yet...
I used less product this time and it came out much sleeker. Anyway, I've got pics for you guys!

Gotta have the BKT swang pics
Went out in the rain and my hair stayed straight!
Since Cubanit's horror thread, I've been paying closer attention to my ends. Detangling is still going well but I don't think my BKT is lasting as long as some of the others. After a couple of weeks, I notice a difference. I'm trying not to wash my hair as much this go around.

I did it again a few months ago. For me, I have MAD tangles and BKT really helped with that issue. However, it just didn't stay in my hair for very long. I got a good 2 weeks out of it and then my hair would revert back to its normal, tangled self---no matter what products I put in my hair. It may be that my hair is too porous or I needed a stronger solution with formaldehyde...My brand was just something I got off of ebay but the more expensive Softliss (I think) brand is supposed to be good stuff. Good luck with your sister!

I have a silly question--is the BKT a chemical?

If you are asking if it is a relaxer, it is not. It does have chemicals in it but it won't permanently straighten your hair. Brazilian Keratin Treatments (BKT) just temporarily straighten with heat. Unlike a relaxer, you can't put a BKT solution on your hair, rinse it out and have straight hair. You must go through the final step of blow drying and flat ironing your hair on a high temp to get straight results. For me, it was like putting on a stronger solution of Sabino Moisture Block on my head---Sabino and BKT require the heat in order to work. It washes out after a couple of shampoos---even faster if you use poos or conditioners with salt in them.
There is a lot of debate if you are natural if you use a BKT becuz your texture is loosened temporarily. However, my texture didn't change enough for my husband to notice and it was as kinky or nappy as ever once it was rinsed out. Full reversion.
