Ok so I went to a salon with the motive of the getting a BKT done. However, I left getting a treatment called KeraSmooth. The hairdresser, Juana, suggested it to me (she is also a member here as Juanita). The results were great. I don't have any pictures though. But believe me. I have 4z hair and my hair is soooo soft and straight. My hair has never been this straight or soft. My hair was actually blowing in the wind, which it never does. I am currently 10 weeks post relaxer. When I went to work everyone asked if I finally relaxed my hair. I told them no. No one believed me. That's how straight and soft my hair is.
I figured a BKT would be helpful with my 5 month stretch. But this KeraSmooth came out so good. It is formaldahyde free (sp). The process is similar to the BKT treatment. But it only takes about half the time as the BKT. The results lasts up to 12 weeks. And it only costs $90. The best thing is that I haven't had ONE broken hair since I had this treatment , literally. I am prone to breakage, because my hair is naturally hard and dry. I usually have breakage and it is very hard to comb my hair. But since this treatment the comb just glides through and there is zero breakage. I encourage those who get the BKT to try this treatment as well. Its supposed to be safer and doesn't give the hair that weighed down, heavy feeling. Also, for those ladies who are stretching, this would help manage your NG much better. I plan on relaxing in December. But I know that wouldn't be possible without getting this treatment, my NG was that bad. I have about 2 inches of NG that I now can comb through as if it is relaxed. I am soo happy.
The salon I got this done at is in Brooklyn. Juana also does the BKT treatment if anyone is looking for a place that does it as well. Juana is a professional and great hair stylist. I would recommend her to anyone. She's very hospitable and conversational as well. She also knows hair. I stopped going to hair salons because the of the lack of education surrounding AA hair care. But I really wanted a BKT done and come to find out I not only got a better treatment, I also found a new, knowledgeable hair stylist. If anyone wants her information just PM me. Thanks
