Keratin Treatment Support Thread

Hi Ladies!

I have been using QOD Gold for the last 3 months, and I just did my 3rd treatment and I'm loving the results. I just read fabulosity's thread, and I am tempted to try dreamhair keratin....so, my question is, has anyone had setbacks with BKT because they used too many different brands? I love QOD Gold, but it is very expensive...


Thanks!!

I finally read every post and I think I'm ready :grin:
Waiting on my order of Softliss for me and my mom. I'll definitely post my update when it arrives. It should be here by this weekend.

If anyone wants to add some "make sure you do" things in addition to what's been posted already, I'll definitely read them!

Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I looked at those thoroughly and they just seemed a bit.. I don't know... I ended up going with dreamhair obviously... but please if you want try it.. they have reasonable samples... we will be waiting....!!! :grin:

I see this on ebay and it looks thorough.

I honestly haven't touched my hair in several weeks, this or next weekend, it will be DUE for a wash and deep condition. I may re-apply the BKT to see how I like it. I guess, as I layer these treatments on top of one another, my concern is getting moisture to the actual shaft? My hair is silky and feels moisturized but maybe I should do a deep deep treatment?


I'm back under my wigs though. I'm trying to get to full APL in the front and BSL-MBL in the back at the very least.
 
No one answered my question! So I'll ask again...lol. Has anyone had any setbacks with using too many different brands of BKT on their hair? I would like to try dream hair since it's cheaper, but my hair seems to like QOD Gold...and I don't want to ruin it, so I'm being cautious. Thanks!

I haven't heard of any trouble with switching, Pet. I think, so far, those that are going to have trouble with BKT seem to have it before they've switched to another brand. Many have switched.... Veejee switched from Global to Softliss (In fact several switched to softliss after Veejee's stunning results :spinning:); Fabulosity switched from Softliss to Dreamhair. So far, so good.

I hear ya, Veejee, those results will make anyone switch! I still have a full Softliss Kit that I, uh... guess I can sell on ebay. :lachen: Either that or I'll go back and forth between the two; BKTing every other month. Sigh... that's it, I'm not buying anymore BKT til 2011... well, after I get my DreamHair, that is. :look::lachen:

I switched from QOD gold to global. I did not have any problems. The biggest change is that the more times I do it the more I learn to apply lightly and evenly.
 
Has anyone done the treatment more frequently than once a month and if so how has your hair handled it?
I love BKT.......:love:

Gurrrl, the hair in your avi is :thud:

My goodness, you are sayin somethin with that hair!!!! And you know what that something is? :bling:

Ok, I know you love BKT and, yes, it makes our hair feel invincable! But please give your hair at least a month before hitting it up with that heat again. I'd rather you go two! hahahaha

As you know, I did my first 4 BKTs in 3 months and my hair thrived all the more for it! I'm not doing my next til March, though. Tryna get me some BSL!! :drunk:
 
Thanks Sheba1,
I feel like I'm addicted to a drug......:drunk: Like I said before the BKT makes my hair look like it has been relaxed and it feels sooo good. My only problem is the poofiness and i guess I am going to have to learn to love my natural hair until I get a little more length.

The Global 4% is so much better for my 4b hair and washing is a breeze. There is a dominican lady in High Point and I am going for a blow out next week. I will wash and condition before I go and take my Sabino MB. I will wait another month before I BKT again.

I would love to try the Dreamhair but I love the way the Global knocked my kinks right out. My hair ate the Rejuvenol and asked "who's next!"....:lachen:

Thanks again guys for all your help........:grin:

Girl I have learned the grass is not always greener. That Global 4% is truth. I'm sticking with it. My hair can't get better, its not possible :lol:

My hair said, "that's nice" to Softliss now what you wanna do? :rofl:

Softliss will be good for me when I relax again. Global 4% is the go to for the long stretches.

A light textlax every 6 months or so will get rid of the poofies. I can stretch 6 months easy with the Global 4% and will only relax 2 X per year. That's my new reggie!! :yep:

I might wait until the holidays before I do my textlax retouch which will be exactly a 7 month stretch if I wait until December. :up:

Hola Brazilianettes!

I haven't bkt'd since July 6th.
My hair is still holding very well.
I believe most of the treatment has worn off, but i'm still enjoying what's left.
My hair doesn't revert like before - which is awesome.
It rained for 4 days straight here in Houston, and my hair held it's style.
Ofcourse, I scarved (scarfed?) -wrapped it up, but usually that would make NO difference. My hair would be, like, "Welcome to Poof City!"
I am sooo pleased with that.
I used Softliss.
I'm hoping my current style lasts for at least another week. I rollerset and then flatironed my hair last Saturday. I do not have a big styling repertoire. If my hair isn't flatironed, i'm wetbunning.

Just a little update from Br*nze...
 
Hi everyone,

I initially came to the forum when I was researching the BKT a while back. I was still undecided at that point and put my braids back in and kind of lost interest in all of it. For the last month or so I've been lurking and learning a LOT from you guys about the BKT and a whole host of other things.

Anywho, I have ordered my Softliss and I am going to take the plunge. I don't know if I'm more afraid it isn't going to work well for me or that it's going to come out great and I'm gonna be addicted!:spinning: Either way I'll keep you guys posted and put up before and after pics.

I saw that several people do rinses, cellophanes etc with their BKT, does anyone do semi/demi or permanent color? I was thinking of doing a demi and my BKT the same day. Any thoughts? I am a natural, 4b btw...

:newbie:

What's the difference between BKT and the Brazilian Blowout treatment? The salon recommends the blowout - says its safer - but I wanted to ask all of you BKT ladies since you have so much experience with it.

I'm tempted to try it, but I want more information about it. The results are supposed to be smoother hair...Does it make your hair stronger?? Decrease breakage?
 
I don't think the BB is any different. It uses glutaraldehyde which they claim is safer and gentler. Other than that, the process is the same as Soft-Liss (treatment applied, blow dry/flat iron, same day rinse, conditioning mask). Aftercare products should be sulfate free.
 
I did my 1st post BKT co-wash, I did an aphogee protein treatment, cause every once in a while my hair needs some protein. Well I was worried when my hair rinsed straight, usually it's wavy when wet then scrunches up. Well the curls are a little looser but the thickness is the same, and I hardly lost any hair detangling, it was a breeze. I have posted pics in my fotki-siggy link
 
Well, I've finally finished the "never-ending" BKT thread, :lachen:. I've been reading this thread for the past four days! Anywho, I've ordered my softliss sample kit from one of our own, and plan to do my first treatment in about three weeks. Since I will have to give up my beloved henna, I will be maintaining my red with jazzings or another semi-perminent color. I will also be texlaxing my new growth prior to the treatment.

I also had an observation for those who have had negative experiences with BKT and lack of moisture in the hair strands...does anyone think the reason most of these products say to blow dry hair 80% dry before applying BKT may be to seal in that 20% of moisture in the strand? Perhaps this is why those who apply to damp hair are having such positive results with their moisture levels....:look:

That's is a good point! I always apply my BKT to damp hair and I haven't had any issues with dryness. :yep:
