Hi Zelda,
Thank you for posting. This way, it gives a chance for others with similar BKT issues to read and educate themselves and be aware.
As I briefly explained to you via email regarding
losing a lot of hair, I think that you need to give yourself some time. If you did not feel the heat of the iron during the BKT procedure, then you shouldn’t be worrying. My other concern is if the
BKT stylist was sloppy during the BKT solution application and if the BKT solution had seeped onto the scalp, it will clog the pores. The solution must
NOT be applied to the scalp or touch the scalp. Some of the BKT ingredients, such as Formaldehyde must not be applied on the scalp. Also,
other BKT ingredients, such as cyclopentasiloxane should not touch the scalp because they often leave a waxy film on the scalp. Coatings on the scalp have negative effects on the scalp which can lead or create a barrier that inhibits and restrains the scalp from releasing moisture and perspiration. As a result, these body fluids cannot properly evaporate and become concentrated, creating a condition at the scalp which is conducive to hair loss.
A lot depends on the stylist’s ironing skills. If the BKT stylist doesn’t have good ironing skills, it will cause severe damage to the hair and eventually you’ll experience hair breakage. Keep in mind that sometimes anxiety or tension, menstruation, medication have adverse effect on the hair follicle and can cause the hair to fall abnormally. And please do not confuse hair loss with hair breakage. To learn more, please click on the following link

Problem/Solution - First we need to cleanse the scalp. I recommend you use Redken’s Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo. Instructions for use:
Shampoo, rinse with warm water... as warm as you can tolerate. Shampoo again and leave the second lather on the hair. Cover with plastic cover air-tight. Apply heat of a blow dryer for 3-5 minutes. Leave in for 10 minutes, rinse. Re-shampoo with Redken’s Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo. Once again, water temperature as warm as possible. Finally, shampoo your hair with Redken’s TIME RESET Shampoo. Now gently towel blot your hair and use TIME RESET Treatment. Follow the instructions on the tube. Finish with TIME RESET Conditioner. Apply leave-in ID.CARE Heat Silk Lotion. And now your scalp should feel nice and clean and your hair nice and soft. For further detailed instructions, please click on the following link on m website

Now that we know the scalp had been thoroughly cleansed, the next step is to wait one week and observe if your hair loss has been “reduced”. If all is good then good job, good for you, and you’re on Safe Street. However, if you are still experiencing the “same” amount of hair loss, then my advice is to see your doctor. He or she might refer you to see a dermatologist.
With regards to sodium chloride, I can tell you Redken shampoos contain sodium chloride, but I wouldn’t worry. Besides, ALL of the sodium chloride-free shampoos manufactured by the BKT manufacturing companies are a piece of junk. Manufacturers of the Brazilian BKT brain wash stylists and the majorities of stylists buy into it. They THINK that if the client uses shampoos that contain sodium chloride, the hair will or might revert back. That is not true. I can tell you stylists that understand the science behind their art, do not buy into it.
To be perfectly honest manufacturers made a big deal about the sodium chloride thing. My guess is BKT and other companies started the "no sulfates" story with sodium lauryl sulphate and poor old sodium chloride just got lumped in. It's used in small concentrations in some shampoos as a viscosity thickener, and considering we eat it as table salt, I don't think it can be that bad. Maybe a very high concentration of salt water might effect/revert a curl pattern in the hair but not from a shampoo, unless I'm missing something.
With regards to Nioxin and vitamins, sorry, but I cannot comment because I am not in the field of giving advice on the matter. I can tell you though that you are pushing the envelope and prematurely assuming things and wasting your money. As far as volume is concerned, once again these products coat the hair. ID.CARE Heat silk Lotion is a heat protector, it also helps give the hair a little body and that’s all you need. Otherwise, keep it simple and follow the prescriptive hair care products that I recommended and let me know in a week or two.
Detangling would still be a mess. 
I was tooo excited.
