Brazilian Keratin Treatment Where have you been all my life? Pic Heavy

[Nayna]

I really like that it decreases shedding, and I think it would be cool to use in the summer; but I wonder how much the hair will shed after the treatment wears off, like say I use it, don't see much shedding but then opt not to use it again, is like 2-4 months of shedding going to come and bite me on the bottom?

 

[lollyoo]

It looks like the formaldehyde free version use ether, which may not be any better than the formaldehyde version.

At this stage with the safety issues surrounding the products, I do not think I will be trying this.

It also requires a lot of heat, I am yet to see proof of complete reversible, i.e no heat stretch hair at 450F with BKT. I will be inclined to say it will be highly unlikely you will get your true curls back.

But I suggest if any one decide to try, try the one DSD suggested not more than 0.2% levels.

This may actually be a good retrospective trial for me 15-25yrs down the line or more, to find out if people that used BKT actually(particularly levels above 0.2%) are at increased risk of nasal and brain cancer. (just a thought dont bite me).

Best of luck everyone.

Sometimes I wish I was independently wealthy so I could pay for trials relating to hair/body products and cancer rates.

I guess I feel that being exposed for the amount of time it takes to get the treatment is a bit like being exposed to second hand smoke because you visited a bar occassionally.

There are those who are working in funeral homes that are exposed to higher concentrations on a daily basis, and yet they are not dropping like flies. And, again, they are exposed on a daily basis over the course of a career. I'm not sure I see the danger in these applications, even those at 2%. I'll keep researching.... I hadn't planned on trying it for several months. But really, I haven't seen anything that's scared me off of even a home treatment done with proper precautions.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

the thing that's scaring me off is the price tag


I think this might be a nice Chirstmas gift to me this year. That an a Pibbs dryer!!

I would like to have a few questions answered over time regarding this process.

1) How would co-washing affect the treatment? Would it cause it to wear off faster? This is important for me because I workout a lot and I have to either co-wash or at least rinse daily.

2) What happens to your hair if you decide not to continue the treatments? Will there be some repercussions if you get the treatment once or twice and then stop.

3) Will your natural curl return if you stop the treatment, or will there be heat stretch damage?

No, you will not see 2 - 4 months of shedding all at once. i dont know why or how, but somehow you just dont - it goes back to normal, no extra retro-active shedding

1. i wouldnt really co-wash more than twice a week. i really dont know if it effects it. they just say u cant use shampoo or condish with Sodium Chloride (some aveda and joico has this) If ur condish doesnt, i dont think you'll have any issues. If u swim - that will effect it - u should wear a cap or avoid going head under.

2. your hair goes back to normal. no repercussions except you'll really miss it once ur hair is no longer manageable - lol.

3. i have no heat damage, just straight ends from previous relaxer treatments (im transitioning). the treatment is applied BEFORE the blowdry so it should already be protected. i have cottony 3c,4a (i would think the most easily heatstretched) and the curls still came back. every head is diff, if you basically NEVER blow dry ur hair and dont know the effects of a reg blowdry on your hair, then it would be harder to compare.

 

[sheba1]

I hear you on the cost, AtlantaJJ! That's why I'm going to spring the $250 for the Chocolate Global Keratin and do it myself. After research, I see that I should be able to do my whole head with 3 ounces or less, so that's 10 to 11 applications ($25 per app). Brittany said that she had to do the first two or three a month apart to get her hair really straight. For maintenance, I'd only have to do it every 2 to 3 months (since my hair is virgin) so that's really not much more than if I decided to relax.

Have you seen her youtube channel? She's the only person with AA BKT'd hair I've been able to find on youtube with a whole channel about her and BKT. She has a vid where she's just applied and flat ironed here and she has a vid of her wet hair here. I wasn't prepared for how straight her air dried hair was. Really something. Great vids.

 

[kelkel]

I did the BKT back in 07 about 3x to my hair.... a lady that I worked for brought some back for me from Brazil. YOUR HAIR WILL REVERT BACK !!!!!!

I think crazydaze said it best, "no repercussions except you'll really miss it once ur hair is no longer manageable."

I actually applied this to my hair, my sister's hair and one of my best friend's hair. My hair is 4a-b natural... it worked on my hair. My sister's hair is natural 3b-C..... it worked on her hair. And my friend's hair is 3a and it worked on her hair as well.

I think the difference between this and a relaxer is that with the BKT it feels as if it adds a coat of protection to your hair where as a relaxer feels as if it strips something away from your hair.....

I also wanted to add that when I applied it to everyone's hair I never went over it 10 times with a flat iron...** I didn't know I had to..lol**... I just flat ironed as normal and it still worked..... I say this to say that if you are weary of this because of the heat you don't have to go over your hair that many times for it to work.

I stop applying it because one .... my oldest sister scared me and my sister out of using it because of the formaldehyde. And then two when I thought about using it again I found out that I was pregnant and didn't want to use too much of anything.....

Anyhoo I am thinking about doing it again but I am no longer in contact with the lady that I purchased the BKT from. ..... and I no longer live in Southern California where everything is readily available.

Thanks for sharing. I live in So. Cali. Do you know anyone out here that does the treatment with great results?

 

[Serenity_Peace]

^^^ Are you ladies relaxed??!?!?

 

[kelkel]

Hey yodie .....I know there is probably several places that do it in Los Angeles.... my friend did tell me that there is a salon in South Bay..... I think its ether in torrance or in mahattan beach that does it. I will try to find the name of the salon for you.

 

[Keshieshimmer]

Has anyone gotten a small bottle online with great results? I am a bit discouraged with my recent relaxer.

If you got a small bottle online where did you get it?

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Doesnt the treatment have harmful ingredients or cause the release of formaldehyde which can be detrimental to health? Has anyone looked into this? ETA, sorry looked deeper into the thread and saw its been discussed...

 

[sydwrites]

Has anyone tried the Keep the Curl formula, its supposed to be the treatment without the formeldahyde OR the ether. The purpose is for the conditioning, smoothing without loosening the curl if I understand correctly. I'm wondering if this is more like the Liquid Keratin they sell at like Ulta.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

Amazing results!!

 

[Toy]

Beautiful results great job.

That root control by Resession Tools is the bomb too!!

 

[naturalmanenyc]

This is my thought as well. I'm scared of all the heat plus I do not want to lose my curls for 3- 4 months.

The youtube videos make the process seem scary with all the fans and heavy duty gloves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR5JTL6VGvg

This version supposedly smells like a dessert.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Jxpl1P_hI

This one supposedly lasts 5 - 6 months and smells like a dessert.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37sMVcq4AEM&NR=1

This version is interesting in that the treatment is rinsed out the same day.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neUY0AAopvE

Your hair looks beautiful!

I am too much of a punk to even try this treatment. I met a woman who is a stylist when I was wearing my hair out one day and she was saying she would do my hair for free if I came into her and she would use me as a hair model. I guess since I have so much hair, it would be one of those scary "before" and "after" things...

But then I went on youtube and saw the actual process. All kinds of fans need to be on at all times for ventilation and the stylist doing it was wearing these super, duper, heavy duty gloves (not the doctor-like vinyl ones). I figured this stuff must be doing SOMETHING on the permanent side if all that had to go down.

What was your experience like? Was all that stuff happening for you? I kinda feel like if I got the details from someone who has done it personally (vs. all the second hand stuff), I could potentially feel better about it.

 

[winnettag]

To keep the hair straight at night, is cross wrapping good enough? I've never been good at wrapping the regular way.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

In addition to the formaldehyde free versions: there are places that do it at lower amounts that are safe.

Scared straight
We tried Brazilian hair straightening—but got more than we bargained for.


By Rachel LeWinter

While Brazilian straightening hit U.S. salons a few years ago, it became widely available only within the past year. Costing $150 to $600, the Latin treatment is an average of $300 cheaper than its Japanese predecessor, takes less time (two hours versus seven) and promises that it’s safe enough for pregnant women. The only apparent drawback is that it’s a temporary fix, providing only four months of lustrous, not-quite-pin-straight locks.

Intrigued, we sent TONY associate photo editor Roxana Marroquin, who naturally has a head of untamable curls, to test it out. She emerged two hours later from Fiber Hair Salon (789 Lexington Ave at 61st St, 646-478-9991) with radically different, totally sleek hair. Apparently, this is because of keratin, a conditioner. But a few days later, when thumbing through Allure, we discovered that its potency is due to something much worse: formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. Surprisingly, after that article hit newsstands, the treatment’s popularity radically increased—underlining just how far women will go for beauty.

After

Worried that we had poisoned poor Roxana (“I thought it was odd that my eyes were stinging a little bit,” she quipped, “though I’d totally do it again”), we called Dr. Ellen Marmur, chief of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. “It’s a problem, because the treatment isn’t regulated by anyone, and one version might be 10 to 20 times higher than the suggested limit of 0.2 percent,” she explains. While the solution can cause hives or a rash, the real danger is the accumulative effect of inhaling the chemical, which is released into the air via the setting process—bad news for the stylists who straight-iron the solution into clients’ hair. “Formaldehyde can cause chronic disease of the lungs and kill respiratory tract cells,” Dr. Marmur adds.

There are five brands of the treatment solution available in the U.S.—we called Fiber, which, unaware of its carcinogenic contents, had been using the Marcia Teixeira Brazilian Keratin Treatment, which Allure found to have 3.4 percent formaldehyde. John Barrett Salon had been using this solution as well, but pulled the service from its menu after independent testing. Fiber has also pulled the service from its arsenal until it can test the product.

One available solution brand, Advanced Keratin Treatment, falls below the theoretically healthy limit of 0.2 percent. It’s distributed by Nadine Ramos, who owns the Lasio Studios Salon. Of the three distributors we spoke to, Ramos was the only one who continuously tests her product for formaldehyde levels. “Ask questions if you must do this,” Dr. Marmur suggests, “but none of it sounds like a good idea to me.”

Here, a breakdown of which NYC salons use which solution, and the risks involved:

Advanced Keratin Treatment (no more than 0.2 percent formaldehyde)

Lasio Studios Salon (Ramos’s spot) 117 E 7th St between First Ave and Ave A (212-477-2088); $150–$500

Gerard Bollei Salon at the Galleria115 E 57th St between Park and Lexington Aves, third floor (212-759-7985); $500 and up

Vartali Salon48 E 57th St between Madison and Park Aves, second floor (212-935-4640); $300 and up

Donna McNally Salon154 W 10th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves(212-229 9122); $300 and up

Ene Salon191 E 3rd St between Aves A and B (212-2
60-4040); $150 and up

Damian West237 W 4th St between Charles and W 10th Sts (212-352-2733); $400 and up

Marcia Teixeira Brazilian Keratin Treatment from M&M International (Allure tested this brand and found 3.4 percent formaldehyde)

Salon Ziba200 W 57th St at Seventh Ave, No. 207 (212-767-0577); $300 and up
Agi Maxx (Allure tested this brand and found 7.24 percent formaldehyde)

Shampoo Avenue B42 Ave B between 3rd and 4th Sts (212-777-2031); $350 and up

QOD max Cacao Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment (has not been tested)

Salon Hair Color Specialist3617 30th Ave at 36th St, Astoria, Queens (718-956-3366); $225 and up

Capelli D’Oro847 Lexington Ave between 64th and 65th Sts (212-288-7100); $250 and up

I think the Cacao one is rinsed after only 60 minutes - treatment is rinsed out the same day:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neUY0AAopvE

It probably has the most formaldehyde

 

[Muse]

I am more interested in the no breakage aspect of this than the straightening. I would think this is a great way to retain length. My question is does the strengthening properties wear off after a couple of months as well?

yes, Muse. There are brazilian treatments, as well, that are called "keep the curl" formaldehyde free and allow you to have the strengthening properties without the relaxation of the curl.

This is something I posted earlier with a link. If you actually check out the whole article the hype dissapears. It's the reason I decided not to go into journalism because I thought it was a field w/o bias, however a journalist can slant to their view point. In this case the article is called "scared straight" which implies it's a bad thing. If you read later it explains in the parts I bolded and underlined: that there is an acceptable amount that can be used. If you're afraid just use that amount.

Second part I highlighted says it is bad news for stylists, does not say customers, because of repeated exposure. The solution for the stylists would be heavy ventilation if that is the case as in the case of embalmers. Morticians aren't dropping like flies. They handle formaldehyde on a daily basis. The state makes sure that they have heavily ventilated areas for their work. Thus stylist should do the same
....As for customers, they aren't exposed on a daily basis and should just make sure to be in a ventilated place when applying and washing out. Also they should judge the right amount to use.

The third part I highlighted shows that there are places that actually do the acceptable limit of formaldehyde. If everyone is up in arms, go to these places, or purchase these products. That place actually sells the product too I saw an add for it on craigslist and they are in the acceptable .2 percent.

-----------------------------
I think that we must look at both sides of the situation. When I first read Allure magazine I was all in arms and posted stuff here. But then I started to think if the article was slanted and why. For instance the woman in Brazil was at over 20 percent! No way American versions allow this much. As the article pointed out above ours range from 0 to 3 percent at most. Then it's up to us to judge if we want to use it and use precautions. From the article it actually encourages me to use it by saying:
1)There is an acceptable limit and places that test and sell it.
2) Ventilation is important for stylists...fails to mention customers as it knows its argument will fall as customers are not exposed on a daily basis.
3)Where to get that brand, or use a formaldehyde free version: I know it has another kind, but no one is up in arms about that in articles as it does not work the same way.

4) Finally I also know from my own research that there are other products with formaldehyde from baby wipes to nail polish, to pressed wood and other things that were used to make your house/apartment, etc , as well as carpet cleaners. They're regulated but not checked! In addition I looked up morticians and their death rates are not alarming and they are around fluids all day.

So in conclusion I'm going for it when I decide to wear my hair straight. I'll probably use the lower amount that even the article said was good to use.

If you get it keep us posted with your results!

OMG! Yeah I just read the reviews for this on Naturally Curly after I posted the above and they aren't too good either. One girl said it made her hair worse and erased all of the hard work she put into her hair. I don't think I want to risk it now and will just strengthen the old fashion way through regular protein treatments.
