Hair Coach
I am not sure how many have heard of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment but I do this service in my salon and I wanted to show you all some pictures of the outcome on me and my DD's hair.
Pros:
Hair is soft, silky and smooth and virtually break free. If your hair is natural it will loosen your curl pattern and possibly straighten your hair over a few processes. The comb glides through the hair on shampoo day!! Hair doesn't require as much moisture and shampoo day is literally cut in half or more. It lasts 2-4 months.
I believe that by doing this treatment on a regular basis it can help you retain more length, need less trims and spend less on hair care products.
Cons: It is very expensive. While getting the treatment done you may experience a little odor. It's Temporary. Must be redone over the entire head of hair every 2-4 months. The more you shampoo the quicker it will wear off. You can't get your hair wet for 4 days. You have to wear it straight for that same period of time.
Where has the treatment been all of my life??!! It's awesome my hair has never felt or looked better or had so much body and bounce. My hair is not breaking at all or shedding and my hair now dries so straight so there is not much work involved on shampoo day.
Pictures of the process are below. Please feel free to ask questions.
Texture shot. She is 50% natural.
I had already applied some treatment to this section. The rest of the hair is blowdried.
After Treatment is completed.
Her hair on the first wash day after BKT.
The curls are loser and easier to manage.

Another 'after' texture shot.
My hair before treatment wet.
My hair before BKT blowdried.
My hair blowdried with the treatment on my hair.
My hair after treatment.
First Shampoo after treatment. Hair is blowdried and flatironed.
My hair is healthy, full and has lots of body and bounce. I love it!!
The Process:
1. Hair is shampooed 2-3 times with clarifying shampoo. This helps open up the cuticles of the hair so the treatment can penetrate deeply into the hair shaft.
2. Hair is blowdried on a medium setting.
3. Hair is sectioned and the BK treatment is applied to sections of hair.
4. Hair is blowdried again on medium heat.
5. Small sections of hair are then flatironed with a 450 degree flatiron. Each section must be flatironed at least 10 times. (Don't worry, the BKT has a heat protectant in it!) This helps 'bake the treatment deep into the hair shaft.

She is around 9 months into her transition. This time it is for good. This is the second time.
