BKT on a Natural

[naturalglory041490]

Hello ladies,

This is for the BKT users that are natural....
I was just wondering if I could BKT as a temporary texturizer???
Gracias!!!

My roots were natural when I used it ( I was 16 weeks into a stretch) and it did have a sort of texturizer effect it turned my kind of coily hair (somewhere in the 3c/4a range) into spirals or like a looser version of the coils. But it is VERY temporary or at least it was for me. But just so you know I did a series of missteps when I received it. I washed 2 times with shampoo with sulfates in it b/c i couldnt make up my mind and my hair was greasy. Also I don't know if this had any effect or not but I continued to use my OCT/ MN mixture. I'm pretty sure it was the sulfates though and not having my hair relaxed previously that made it wear off so quick. But to answer your question it will loosen your curls. Another member has pictures in her siggy that shows what it did to hers. Her name is sheba1 she posts regularly in the BKT support thread

I'm using mine as a texturizer. Look at Sheba's posts. That's essentially what she is doing too.

You're so welcome, Naturalglory. You might want to check out Softliss. It's around $100, comes with everything you need for your BKT app and has enough applications in it for the year, I've heard. Their official web site is www.softliss.com. There are a few youtube vids where their featured, also:

You could also purchase a single app from ebay for $40 or less; varying brands. Come over to the Keratin Treatment Support Thread. There are lots of different brands discussed there, as well as results, pictures, prices, best buys, etc.

Cutenss has a great thread where you get to see the change in her texture. She uses the OK Keratin Brand and her hair is lovely. She mostly is a wash n go girl. Her BKT'd hair is more manageable, wash n gos with ease and has SWANG when it's straight. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=365479
