I'll be doing my treatment very soon. I'm just being very lazy about when. Between work, exercise, site development, writing and trying to stay well-rested it's hard to find time.

That's where wigs come in great handy! When I get hyper busy, the wigs come out of hiding.

Yeap, I've been hyper dependent on my wig. If my hair was long enough to wash and go everyday I would, but since it's not and I'm trying to retain with BKT and my already simple regimen... it's wig time

I gave myself a Duo Tex treatment followed by moisture. No breakage!! 
I must remember to DC and to slow down with the heat usage, I've been styling my hair and wearing it out a lot recently and I'm still working out. That's too much going on with my hair. Duo Tex is a great collagen based protein conditioner.
ETA: I did a hard workout with velcro rollers in my hair. My hair did fairly good, it didn't hold the curl very well but it kept my hair from getting soaking wet. I tied a scarf around my hairline and it caught most of the sweat. I only put them in the front, half way up to my crown. When I took the rollers out I put on my half wig and blended the hair. I look pretty decent for a workout day (no wash workout day)!

I finally did a full head BKT a little over a week ago with Dream Hair and I love it! I skipped the naked blow dry and applied to air dried hair. The only thing I would do differently is flat iron in smaller sections than I did and I feel like I should've used a little more product than what I did.
The first wash was AWESOME! My hair was so silky ( I washed a week after the treatment). I had so few tangles that I was able to wash my hair all at once instead of in sections. The best part was I was able to air dry with my hair loose and I actually had CURLS in my 4b hair!!!! I was freaking out. I can't believe it's only gonna get better.
I plan on not letting this wear off and doing monthly treatments. Also, like Sheba, I am only going to straighten when I do the treatments and do PS in between. Knots and tangles are my biggest issue when it comes to retaining as a natural but I believe this will help. I have never had such dramatic results from any treatment I have tried, and I have tried quite a bit since joining this board. I am attaching pics (hope it works).

Looking good!!!
Dreamhair is that deal. I have not seen anyone that it didn't work for so far. How much did you use the first go around... since you say you wanted to use more? I do monthly (well every 5-6 weeks treatments since I've been lazy).. and I think I am retaining SO MUCH more hair. No breakage at all. I think BKT is great for those suffering from breakage....
Welcome Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Fab!!! I didn't know you did yours monthly too, cool! I never want to let this wear off! I was a bit embarrassed to post a pic of my hair before BKT but I had to show you all what I'm working with and if BKT can transform this head of hair it will work for ANYONE!
I thought I should've used more because when I watched the videos on youtube they were slathering it on with the tint brush and combing out the excess. I didn't use a brush to apply just my gloved hands and I only used about an ounce, maybe a little less. My hair is not long so maybe it was enough I just want to make sure I have all strands covered next time.

Muse The BKT has been one of the many miracles I have had happen in my life this year. My dad and family are amazed at my hair's progress since May because they are aware of all the problems I have endured with my hair over the past 3 years.
I have trimmed off the majority of my single strand knots, they were killing all my growth progress before I used the BKT. Now I'm just retaining length, growing out my layers.

I know AtlJJ! This is the best thing ever that I have tried for my hair. After I washed my hair my boyfriend said that my hair looked more controlled, not as poofy, and this is after clipping my hair up and air drying!
Have you been doing monthly treatments since you started? I'd like to get to the point where my hair is pretty straight right out of the shower.
Muse your hair looks great. Some of you need to be paid for all this advertising.
Thanks ceebee3!! I agree there are some great BKT heads on here that should advertise for the companies. Some companies say that this isn't really for AA hair but I think that's who it SHOULD be marketed to. I love manageable hair and BKT is allowing me to K.I.S.S. very easily now.

I just finished my DreamHair.
Maybe it was my flatironing and blowdrying technique but I followed instructions to the T and my hair has some shine and "felt better" but also felt "stiffer" when I was done? I still have that Oprah look lmao. My hair is thick and it looked like I lost some hairs. I'll wash this stuff out and see what the results are like. I didn't use a lot but maybe I'm still heavy handed and will have to do the whole "color mixing bowl and brush method?"

Hmmmm....I plan on doing another treatment this week. I don't know if I want to give my Softliss a go, or stick with Dreamhair. Thing about the Dream hair is I might have an ounce or so left because I did dd's hair as well 
, and that should be enough but I still worry about running out. I'm going out of town next week and I don't feel like experimenting with the Softliss. I'm worried the Dream hair has me spoiled.

I have been doing treatments every 2 months but I'm about to bump it up to monthly treatments so I can keep my roots under control.I know AtlJJ!

I workout often and sweat a lot and I think sweat helps the BKT wear off faster at the roots. I'm going to do a BKT this weekend and then monthly there after. My ends are poker straight but I started off with a textlax. My N/G is not straight but the curl is loosened a considerable bit. Your hair will get somewhat straighter with multiple uses. I find that I am able to get my NG straight even when I'm due for a BKT with one pass of my Sedu set at 300. That's pretty amazing in my book. It doesn't revert as fast either at the roots, and not at all on my textlaxed ends.

Okay I am still researching but thinking about going with Soft Liss.
I am a little confused about what comes in the kit on the official site.
So the choclate kit for $96 (8 oz 2-3 applications)
Does that come with the shampoo and mask? What does it come with exactly?
Do I need to get an standard kit to get everything I need?
Here is the website I am looking at http://www.softliss.com/carrito/
Is there anywhere else to purchase softliss
Thanks

Did you use it on 100% dry hair or damp hair... stiffer... hmmm.. I'm thinking you either didn't blow dry enough or flat iron enough... did you use the flat iron on 450? How many passes?
I just apply with my fingers and use a fine tooth comb to distribute by section now... gets just the right amount of product. That bowl stuff was a mess.. now I sit and watch TV or something when I do it... lol... it's funny I remember in the beginning I was so serious about it... lol.. "like don't bother me... I'm doing my BBBBBBBBKKKKKTTTTTTTTTTTTT"...

Softliss might be ok now since you have the dreamhair base... but if I were you; I'd save it for DD's next treatment and just do the rest of the dreamhair on yourself... just make sure to distribute ..distribute... I'm starting to think that if you have a previous treatment... no matter how long or thick the hair... you shouldn't use over 1.5 ozs... gives that salon swang and bounce when you don't use too much.

Girl, me too. It was if I was doing brain surgery. I had everything all lined up, the patio doors open, and the fan going. I was more nervous about my BKT application than going through natural childbirth 3 times.
I'm doing the Dh tomorrow morning and Softliss on DD tomorrow evening before we go out of town early next week. Yall should see this lil girl flipping her damn hair all over the place
. It's a wonder she hasn't pulled something. After she went to school yesterday with a nice bun and I picked her up from the basketball with all her hair down and blowing in the wind, I threatened to let her curl back up so she can go back to rockin her afro puff. I don't have time for 12 year olds

The kit comes with a conditioning mask, the clarifying shampoo and the "intelligent brush" which is the BKT.
I'm seriously thinking of selling my partially used kit because I like the other formulas. I used it twice, and there is plenty left. I will look at it when I get home.
