DSD, I hope you don't mind me asking but, is your hair bald/thinning in that area? or is that just the flash?

Yes. Her hair will eventually revert back if I don't do the treatments anymore.

Thanks for sharing Dontspeakdefeat! Man, this is definitely something I'm interested in, but I do not want to spend $300 to $500 every 2 to 3 months. Man! I'm going to keep my eye on it, though, as I was considering relaxing this time next year. All I really want is swing and smooth roller sets. Looks like BKT could do this for me. You and your daughter's hair is

Also Brittany has had fabulous results and her hair looks sooooo healthy! She's been using it for over a year and she does it herself. Here's the one she uses http://globalkeratin.com/Conceito.aspx
Yeah.... think I might go to a professional... uh, the first time, at least. lol

Thanks! My hair feels amazing. I love it!
I think it is a really good alternative to relaxing. It makes the hair smooth and frizz free and very bouncy. Your hair won't revert from humidity as quickly while the treatment is on the hair.

I think this is a good alternative for the Relaxed ladies..... It may not be as caustic....

Whoa! That is steep.
But - From what I hear - relaxers are now in the 100's....

My BKT is growing out now and i have had no adverse effects. I got it done back in Dec 08 and i love the fact of the manageability and detangling time being cut down from like 1 hour to less than 5 minutes. i want to let my hair breathe for a bit (like 2 months) before i redo it again though.

Would this be safe for people who usually can't wear relaxers because of damage/breakage?
Chemically speaking, what are the chemical effects of this on the hair vs. the chemical effects of a relaxer.
I'm coming from the standpoint of someone who's hair has always fallen out because of relaxers.

This was our first application. I will be doing each of ours about every 4 months regardless.

I used Marcia Teixeira BKT.

This would be great for you. The only effects are it makes the hair stronger and virtually break free. It doesn't break any of the structure of the hair down as relaxers do. It actually puts keratin into the hair shaft to strengthen it.

How do your edges look...that's always a problem for me when I need a relaxer. So is this how your daughter plan to transition. I want to do this!!

I went for a BKT and the guy, a Brazilian, sighed and whined about how he couldn't do it and my natural hair needed a perm first...
I said forget it.
If I get a BKT I'll do it my darn self.

Really? Well - I read some where that this 'takes' better on Chemically processed hair....So there ya go...he probably knew it would not turn out like he wanted it to..

So far my edges have stayed straight. They will begin to curl as more newgrowth comes in that is not treated.
When I decided to transition her BKT was not even a thought as I have transitioned her before without the product. She already had about 5 inches of newgrowth before her first treatment. It makes it so much more manageable. Really, easy as pie!

It's a shame because it can be done on any hair. He probably just didn't know how to handle natural AA hair and hair his preconceived ideas that just because you are AA then your hair must be difficult. He probably has never done AA hair a day in his life.
