Keratin Treatment Support Thread

Ladies, okay, DO NOT use ayurvedic rinses on your BKT!! I did a rinse the other day and it almost completely stripped it out of my hair.. I can tell a huge difference.... I dont care much, but I know that if you plan on straightening this is a bad idea.. Right after I rilnsed it out, my roots were puffy and all, just like I didn't even have the treatment. I can still tell it's left on some of my hair though.... Lesson learned!
 
Does anyone know the active ingredient in Softliss? I know it's formaldehyde free, but what is taking the place of the formaldehyde?

Ladies using Rejuvenol, do you feel like it's adding weight to your strands because of the collagen?

AtlantaJJ, do you use a black cellophane? If so, what brand? Thanks.

Hi ladies! For anyone wondering about stearalkonium chloride--after doing a zillion searches, i found two different brazilian keratin treatments that listed the ingredients in the keratin treatment and they both included stearalkonium chloride. So I guess it's safe if it's already in the bk.

I didn't think it was a problem because I use this every time I wet bun.
 
Yodie,

I thinks it's ethly alcohol. I wouldn't know since my friggin' package STILL hasn't arrived:wallbash::perplexed:heated: (I ordered Thursday priority mall still no package).
 
Thanks, Veejee. I hope it gets there soon.

Is ethyl alcohol the same as ether? I called Softliss, but the rep who answers these types of questions was online with someone else. Yeah, right!

Veejee, you used Global before, right? Why are you switching? Formaldehyde and the 48 hour wait to rinse?

Does anyone know if a nettle tea rinse will have the same ayurvedic effect that belle revuse mentioned above and rinse BKT from the hair?

Thanks.

yeah i've pretty much stopped everything else save for deep conditioning. normally when my hair isn't straight, i oil my scalp 3-5 times a week. so far i've done it twice and my hair feels really weird when i do. i've already said that using some other products i can feel that a great deal of the product has worn away.

I don't know, we really need one of our resident chemists to chime in..lol.:yep:

Yep, I'm switching because of the high formaldehyde content and the 48-72 hour wait. Other than that I LOVED the results. If my package doesn't come soon I might order some more Global and do my hair on Sunday. Patience is NOT a virtue of mine. :ohwell:
 
Do you feel like the oils strip the product or just aren't necessary with BKT?

My scalp requires some type of oil.

Anyone else adding oil to your scalp?

Wow, Your wash and go looks really great! I've been lurking around your BKT results...:look:

:grin: Thank you, Laurence! I love it, so I keep sharing. But I'd already decided when I got it that I'd share everything that went down with my bkt'd hair; the good, the bad, the ugly.

Hey Luckiestdestiny, Thank you! I used Lustrasilk cholestrol conditioner (Olive oil) and Hairveda Vitka Frosting, and let it air dry!

My Mango Lustrasilk had Sodium Chloride in it!

I want to get a wash the same day formula. I might try the brand on Ebay. I'm afraid that other brand will take too long to get here.

should I try to get the Softliss?
Or will the Ebay brand work fine?

I'm going for Softliss!! I hope I can get it here quick. I love the process vs. the 4 day wait business!!!! Thanks for posting those YouTubes!!

I'm selling my other QOD Gold 1 ounce and OK Chocolate Keratin for a good deal if anyone is interested.

I also like that it has its own products that go with the kit.

Yodie,

You can email softliss at "[email protected]". I received a response from them the same day when I inquired about the salt in my water softener Possibily affecting the BKT treatment.
 
I'm considering going with Rejuvenol, I like the pricing and the size. Can you guys tell me, again, why Rejuvenol is a good choice? I've read so much stuff i'm dizzy and a lil' confused. Also, Naturaltobe, would you recommend it? I know that you use it. Thanks in advance. I'd like to make a purchase this weekend.
 
I did a Nettle tea rinse after my last wash, no problems.

ETA: Ordering Softliss Chocolate today!
ORDERED!! I don't want to wait 4 days !! LOL

Have you used the softlisss? What kit did you get?

ETA: I saw your post further up.

I'm going to do my cellophane color this weekend and I should have my Softliss by Tuesday of next week. I am so excited I don't have to go through that whole 4 day wait business. I'm working out and don't want to be restricted.

Ok AJJ, you and me are on the same page with these BKTs. I too plan to buy the Soft-Liss or the Organic Thermo (Ebay) next week for my birthday hair (7-11). Keep a girl posted. I LOVE BKT, but I am not loving the probationary period. Waiting on you too, Veejee. :yep:

You got it, I will give full update. I am loving the BKT because of retention. I wear mine off faster with the working out and sweating but that's not going to be a problem with the wash same day formula. I don't use heat at all now. I'm wearing a really cute protective style. Its so nice not to fight my hair to get it in a bun! LOL

I experimented with a conditoner and it had something that made the BKT wear off a bit faster. I'm sticking with ingredients I can prounce basically MillCreek is what my hair likes. Biotin or keratin.
 
AtlantaJJ,

What cellophane are you using?
Are there any good black cellophanes?

Let us know about Softliss. It must be nice to wear your hair in a bun!! Mine isn't long enough for that just yet. I can just imagine how nice it must be to not have to fight with your hair OR use heat on a regular basis.
 
Your hair looks great Brittanynic16. I hope to follow in all of you ladies' footsteps with healthy BKT results.

I am waiting too...lol. I ordered my product last Thursday 6/18 and it was priority mail so I figured I'd have it by Monday at least (2-3 day service). It didn't come Tuesday so I went ahead and left the state to visit my grandmother. Of course, yesterday I received an e-mail saying it had been delivered. :perplexed:wallbash::) I'm going back home tomorrow so I plan on BKT'ing tomorrow! I can't wait!

I used the strawberry kit. I have had the treatment in for 7 weeks now. I'm still loving it just like the 1st day!!!!

I work out almost everyday, and this treatment has been a life saver!!!
