Keratin Treatment Support Thread

Maybe you ladies can practice rollersetting on dry hair and then progress to rollersetting wet hair. I used to rollerset my hair dry in the seventh grade. I kept practicing with wet hair and eventually it just worked. You'll get there ladies.
 
Okay, since you all have been so patiently waiting...here's my BKT'd hair...these will only be available for a short time, so enjoy!

My hubby is just in from work, so he didn't have alotta patience :ohwell:.
But, anyhoo, they are kinda dark, excuse the cleav', but you get the picture.

They are really a disservice, bcs my hair is super smooth, extremely shiny and soft and SWANGIN', Baby.

I think the Joico Luxe poo stripped some of my treatment off. It was so straight and then the more I manipulated my hair and scrubbed my scalp, the curlier my hair became. Had my treatment not stripped, I'm most certain the rollerset would have been much smoother. I must get a better dryer and adopt patience.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm a pretty adept rollersetter - I <3 rollersets, but I'm kinda rusty, seeing that it's been at least a year since i've done one. I think BKT Treatment #2 will come in 2 weeks.

This treatment definitely brings with it serious cases of hand-in-hair disease.
 
I seem to have alot of questions for a non-BKT'er. Lol!!

Anyone use Colorshowers with their BKT?
Here are the ingredients:

Ingredients: Dionized Water, Citric Acid, Salt, Sellosize, Metil and Benzoato Sodium, Quaternium 60, Propy-lene glycol, Red Ponceuax #4, Red Amarant #2, Blue #1, Blue #2, Yellow #5, Yellow #6.

Would it be okay to use this before BKT and then BKT after?
Just trying to get all my supplies and info together.

Thanks.

I use Cellophanes which is similar and has salt in it, I use it the wash before a BKT. I found it seals the color in and helps keeps it from running as it usually does with each shampoo.

I can tell just from the pics that your hair has the BKT SWANG! :yep:
 
:yay: @ Fab. We can take the show on the road. I'm even more curious now...I'm going to read up on Global too. I have a way to get that one... :sekret:
 
you ladies sold me to this. I ordered soft-liss last week and got it on Friday. I just relaxed on Thursday, so I am waiting two weeks before doing the BKT...or I don't need to? I am not sure. I have read that you can do it right after coloring, but I haven't seen anything about relaxing. What do you ladies think?
Thanks!

Your hair is beautiful! I don't have the BKT, but your hair is convincing me to step over to the BKT side. :)

I'm loving your questions Yodie as I'm a non-BKT'er too, doing research.:yep:
 
I have jumeped on the BKT wagon. Just ordered Soft-Liss. I'm currently texlaxed and it gets so frizzy when I wear it straight. Hopefully this will help.

Hi! I got my first BKT in April when I was 3 weeks post (I actually went to unsprung salon since I live close and they had the best price; pretty sure there's a link to them on the first page of this thread), and my hair has been thriving. I am fairly certain that you can do a BKT the same day, assuming you're up for a marathon hair session, but you don't have to wait 2 weeks. I know I read that somewhere when I was researching this...say, where's sheba 'cause I know she was probably the most meticulous BKT researcher on LHCF when it comes to BKT.

I am trying to transition with this, and right now my new growth is driving me kuh-ray-zuh :wallbash: (I think I'm about 16 weeks post...the longest I have ever gone, so big ups to me). I would probably say, relax, wait until your first wash, then do the softliss. Good luck whatever you do!
 
Where's Natural to be? I think she's using Rejuvenol, right? Wanted some updates as to how your BKT hair is thriving (because I just know it is with swang and strength).
 
Hey ladies, I BKT'd my niece's earlength hair yesterday. I didn't really get good results. :perplexed But to be fair, her hair is damaged, very porous, stiff and mushy and i'm trying to whip it back into health. It doesnt hold moisture AT ALL and it's in need of some serious protein. So i've been treating it for the past few weeks and I thought BKT would be a good option. So I used Global 4% that I purchased from a member here (thanks lwilliams1922!). And I used about 1.7ozs. And her hair came out feeling coated and stiff. (But i did notice a lil bit of shine and a tiny bit of swing) And LWilliams had told me that she got better results using less, so i think that my issue was i used waaaaay too much for her hair. I am doing the 1st wash on tuesday so i hope it feels better, silkier and more body after the wash. Next time i'll probably use .8oz for her earlength hair. And next weekend i'm planning to BKT my layered BSL length hair, so i'm guessing maybe 1.5ozs?

Oh and let me tell yall about the experience. Well I applied the product in my foyer, without using a fan (because I have heard ladies say that it's not irritating when applying it, but gets irritating when it's blowdried and flat-ironed). But let me tell you...we started off ok, and the chocolate smell was ok, but like after 10mins my niece got teary eyed and i started feeling a tad bit dizzy. So after i applied it, we went outside to the patio for blowdrying. On the patio, i sat her in front of a fan, and we also wore painters masks (got from walmart fo $4). But we didnt notice any irritation so she removed her mask and she was just fine... i left mines on just to be safe.

But anywhoo....just wanted to share my experience... In hopes that it helps someone.... and also to see if anyone has any good results with applying it to damaged hair, or can we only get good results on healthy hair?

You definitely used too much. You want to make sure each strand is coated but to comb out all excess. I have shoulder length layered hair and I use a little less than an ounce. I have to apply it using my hands in the back to make sure I don't put on too much. The results of using to much is stiff coated feeling hair. It should be better after the first wash.

Please let us know how her hair turns out after the first wash and if you discover, based on her hair, that BKT acts up on damaged hair.

Thanks for sharing your results.

You will love it. Texlaxed hair and BKT are a match made in heaven! <running fingers through my hair>

I texlaxed my hair to frizzy just enough to stretch it out on purpose because I knew I would be using BKT, and it is working out great. If you want really straight hair use Softliss. My hair is straight with body, I love it.

I just relaxed my neice hair on today. I will use some of my Softliss treatment on her hair next weekend around the 31st. I'm waiting around 6 days before doing the treatment.
 
Thanks AtlantaJJ, u know I always value your opinion gurl. Yes I will be sure to report back with the results of her 1st wash.

thanks!
 
When your hair is together, it certainly makes a difference.
At church today, I had so much bounce in my step, it almost matched the bounce in my hair! LOL!

Thank You, Lord for BKT!!!
 
Thanks for the compliments, you guys! And I was thinking, man, I could have at least prepped for the pic!?! No lipstick, no gloss, no nada...the only thing i wore was my vacation-bronzed skin...time does bring about a change.
 
I have a question ladies, has anyone with natural 3c hair been able to rollerset with BKT alone (I'm texlaxed) and get smooth straight results? I plan on using Softliss on my new growth without texlaxing, hopefully I can get smooth results. If not, I'll return to the regularily scheduled program..lol.

Also, are there any naturals that wear their BKT hair straight close to 100% of the time without reversion in humidity?
 
Hey guys!!
Okay so today was Mama Fab's appointment.. :lachen:
Don't have any pictures.. but her hair came out evvennn better..
I used the Keratin Complex Poo and Con...

I also used this on her hair before blowdrying...
http://www.folica.com/Keratin_Complex_d5500.html
it was like SUUUUPER silky.. like I could have just blowdried it (like Becky hair) and it would have been finished...
It's got a ton of "no no" ingredients in it.. but this stuff works for the BKT..

I sprayed this on before flat ironing..
http://www.folica.com/Keratin_Complex_d5501.html


After I finished flat ironing... it was like super shiny and bouncy.. her bigen rinse.. mind you this is like almost 3 weeks old... looked almost like I had just done it.

I love BKT. period.

Mama was pretty happy!!
