Got my first keratin treatment on March 12th and washed my hair on March 30th. Eeew! It still looked good, but felt dirty! Plus, I haven't been working out as intensely as I normally do for fear that my style won't last.
Coppola Keratin Complex was the brand used
I posted in the keratin support thread that I would post pics, but my stylist just forwarded them to me today. Sorry! I don't want to be branded one of those people who keeps saying they'll post pics and never do. So...here they are!
Before
Blow dry with treatment already applied to hair
Flat iron results
I took this bad pic of what my hair looked like after washing, but it's the best I could do
It's crazy because the waviness is uniform throughout my head. Styling my hair is so much easier. The comb just glides through. My hair is in twists and I know it'll revert within the time frame she gave me (3-5 months) If not, that doesn't matter. It's healthier than it's ever been. I did a 10 day search and destroy on my ends and this is what I got
In the end, it was all worth it. I've decided to use Carol's Daughter Monoi line for the next 3 months. I used to diss it, but it works like a charm. I used to switch products up so much that I believe that doing so caused so many splits and knots.
My next goal: waist length!!

We discussed using this new one that Coppola just came out with - it had salicylic acid in it, but we decided that I wanted to lessen the frizz and not the curl so much. But surprise! It did both. The only problem I encountered was when my stylist got to the front of my head. I could smell something strong. The hair that already had the solution applied to it when she flipped it over my forehead made my left eye tingle, but then it went away immediately when I pushed it back.
