I did it BKT...What do yall think?

MarieB, what do you wash and style your hair with?

Well I was washing with NTM, but that's got sodium chloride. I just bought HairOne Jojoba, but I have to wait a few days to shampoo. And I'm not supposed to use any products until after I shampoo. From what people are saying, we shouldn't need much of whatever we use. My DIL is thrilled because I told her she has first dibs on all my poos, cons, and whatnot with sodium chloride in them .

I bought new shampoos yesterday and finally washed my hair last night. It was awesome this morning! I put a little leave-in and a dab of Chi Silk Infusion and it came out straight and almost ready to wear! I had to straighten out the ends a little...I am definitely sticking with this for at least a year! I love it! I'm going to post pictures of the washed hair and the products I used in my fotki this afternoon!

Keen I also read some place that if you are applying it to a person who is all natural to let the neutralizing shampoo actually sit in their hair for about 15 minutes to help open the cuticle! HTH

I just saw a youtube BKT treatment where the stylist was using the Elucence clarifying shampoo and said to leave it on virgin hair for 10 - 15 minutes on to get the cuticles open in order to accept the treatment.

Bumping to see if any other natural 4s have tried it...

I'm 4a and have not relaxed in about 16 months. Last week I had the Lasio One day keratin treatment (one day wash out but lasts 2 - 4 months) and I am happy with the results.

I still have lots of curl but my hair is more manageable. I presume that the more I use Keratin, the more straight my hair will be after each treatment. Results are supposedly cummulative.

I washed Thursday and was able to airdry with no afro. I flat ironed and got great results....even through a rain storm yesterday. I have ZERO frizz and my hair is super soft with nothing added but HE LTR leave-in (before the flat iron) and a dab of coconut oil each morning.

I paid $75 at a salon in Brooklyn and it took 90 minutes total. Lasio Studios wanted $375for the one day treatment.

Wow ladies. I'm so interested in BKT. Seems like everyone here has had great things to say about BKT.

I definitely plan on doing this but probably not until Jan. I'm wearing a sew in for growth.

Keep the great reviews coming!

Naturaltobe, those three day flat iron pics with swang are ! I'm drooling, right now! Thank you so much for sharing your results. I had to chuckle when you had your steam rollers in and said you'd wished you'd have roller set your new head of hair because I was wishing the same thing!!! I kept thinking, I bet she'd have a FIERCE roller set!

Thanks again for such a detailed account of your experience. I can hardly wait.

Still white knuckling it... lol Trying to make it til June/July before I do it.

what is bkt

I wonder can you continue using all your regular products and can you still get rollersets or do you have to flat iron? Do you have to use a heat protectant with all that flat ironing?

what is bkt

nevermind. I found out in another threat that it was betakaratine, which is what I thought on an intuitive level anyway...
