Hey hair sisters!
So on Friday I did my third BKT, this time with Dream Hair. I guess I like it so far, I dont really feel the difference between this and the Global 4% that Ive used in the past. But then again that may be my fualt because I went out partying fri and sat and sweated out my roots both nights! Sooo I had to go back and flat iron twice! With me being 8.5 months post
I was looking like Don King !
. But any way I had a story for yall! So im at the bar on the dance floor doing my thing when I notice this guy across the floor staring. So me being me I just smile and turn away. Then he comes and taps me on the shoulder and is like
Guy:"Ooooo boo boo who does your relaxer?"
Me:no one Im going natural.
Guy: How you get it soo silky?
Me: Umm a flatiron. I didn't feel like explaining the whole BKT Process
Guy: Wait are you lying? Is that just a good Weave?
Me: Umm no its all mine
He then runs his sweat hand through my scalp and was like
"yum Im a stylist you should come to my salon, I would love to do your hair!"
Mind yall he is this old gay white man talking about he can hook me up!erplexed.
@ old yt hair dresser dude.. and you still entertaining this conversation... btw...someone asked me if had a lacefront on today at the mall... with a big middle part. I guess that was a bass ackwards compliment.We started transitioning at the same time....
I'm starting to think that Global 4% is like a relaxer ...

^^^ Can you blame them?! Fab, I know people don't just see hair like yours out in the street every day. I can hear how the thoughts went in that poor persons head:
"too much movement; can't be tracks"
"what is that? asian remy?? indian remy..."
"blends seamlessly! how did she do that?! that's gotta be a lace front.... I'm gonna ask her who made it"
Oh, Fab, I know what I've been meaning to ask you!! How's Mama Fab's hair doing?!
"too much movement; can't be tracks"
"what is that? asian remy?? indian remy..."
"blends seamlessly! how did she do that?! that's gotta be a lace front.... I'm gonna ask her who made it"
Oh, Fab, I know what I've been meaning to ask you!! How's Mama Fab's hair doing?!

^^^ Hot dog!! 24 weeks post?! For those of you that are using BKT as a stretching aide; do you have any of the normal obstacles that come with stretching? Breakage at the line of demarcation, tangling, excessive shedding, etc?
Fab, how in the world did you get, not one, but TWO posts in before I finished mine?!
Just saw this...
No to all of the above... I was pretty much texlaxed so my line is not really noticeable (or else I'm just stupid....)..
Don't know...lol.. but you can just call me "fast" fingers fabulosity...

Girl my hair is regular smegular.... I think I see far more Nikos cousins then other people...
My mother was hating... "like it's not even that long"... I was like
(I guess to be a wig... like they don't make short wigs)...Mama Fab's hair is doing well... the Nioxin is closing up her thinning spot... (thankya Jesus)... when I did her last BKT .. right before her birthday... she was full shoulder... well we had her a party... and she wanted to go to the salon because she figured I wouldn't have time...
You know what happened right... I don't even have to go there to tell you... his a$$ cut her hair back to a layered bob. Very pretty but still you don't cut of *my* progress without asking me...!!!! She was fine with it and I was livid... I'm like did you see him doing this... didn't I tell you how to do the "they trying to cut my hair" attack...

Ladies,
No violence, pleez. I cant bail you out cuz all my money has gone to my BKT habit. Plus there are no hair supplies in lockup. Do a jedi mind trick instead.

subscribing, way to much to catch up on on the weekends.
You're welcome ...
That is an amazing feat with all of that hair you have... and doesn't it smell soo good!?!
Did you use the softliss on the baby?
I remember googling the link bringing me to LHCF. I opened it like "should've known" lol! Haven't done dd yet, I've been in loveland and she's been a social butterfly this weekend so tomorrow it has to go down, we leave for mini-vacay early Wednesday morning. As far as the scent, it's cool. You know we don't really agree when it comes to fragrance lol! It's alright. What does the Moroccan smell like? Ninja please. Hardly. Try again. Pics don't do your hair justice, it's so pretty and full of movement! I love the weight of it too.Aww, thanks! I haven't posted any pics since my update thread. I'll be taking plenty this weekYay!!! Eisani, I'm so happy for you!! Now I know you're a dreamhair stan and all now, but I have been an Eisani hair stan so.... pics, please?
I'll post!Hey hair sisters!

Another scissor happy stylist strikes... man, listen... how in the world is he just gonna cut off all that beautiful BKTd hair. I know her ends were flawless! Ridiculous... Let me know if you wanna roll up there!
Right! I was so mad... but I know it'll grow back soon now... but with me relocating there will be no one to watch her hair daily.. lol. I used to go to him as well .. I have a story about him sending me to the hospital because he made me so mad with my hair... so clearly after that I stopped going to him.
Then I gave her the Coppola Keratin poo and con to take up there... she said he refused to use it and used Mizani... I said to myself that "bastage".. and he trying to peel off her treatment. I don't know why some hair stylists feel slighted when you come back and your hair doesn't look a HAM. She hadn't been since like July; before I did her first BKT.
LOL... thanks... but I would so much rather have length!!!!! I think my V is BSB... I have to straighten it.. I am in love with pin curls (probably made it look even more wiggy) and haven't done a straight straight hair style since I posted the Dreamhair reveal.
I forgot we scent opposites... you like your products to smell like Cedar chips and evergreen...
... You would probably like the other two.. the cacao smells really dark chocolatey and morrocan has an "herbal" honey scent.

You're east coast right? My BFF is also relocating to Florham Park, NJ and she has already mandated that I come every six weeks to do her BKT (all expenses paid of course)

Well my Dream Hair is on the way, Thanks to Fab:bouncegre I can't wait. I just gotta trim (a.k.a The biggest trim ever-from waist to brastrap
)so the application should go much quicker.
And USPS BET NOT play with my package. Sometimes my mail lady likes to get lazy and put stuff in the wrong mailbox. I don't wanna have to hurt nobody this week.

I'll check out the moroccan next time, I don't like the scent of dark chocolate. I almost ordered moroccan a few days ago. I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge. Straight hair is the way to go this winter. I'm so tempted to cut my hair but that's a whole other conversation!

quick pic: i did a flexirod set on my usual gray ones, and yesterday the curls came out really really tight-and did not drop one milimeter! i'm washing my hair later on today and my hair is still looks fresh!
please excuse the edges, i'm back on megatek after a long hiatus.
oh, morrocan stinks to me. smells like relaxer

What Fab! You're leaving the rest of us Michiganders up here in the cold?! Lucky! At least you'll really get to put that BKT to the test with all of that heat down there.

Hey, ladies! I tried out the OK Keratin (new formula) on my DD's hair and I can say it is comparable to Dreamhair as far as results. I did notice a lil more fumes that I do with Dreamhair, but the finished product is the same to me. I think I will still use Dreamhair, but for those of you penny-pinching, OK Keratin is a good substitute.

I clarified when I reapplied.

Okay, I've very interested in this treatment, but I'll read through these 53 pages because I know what it's like when someone asks a question that's already been answered. If any of you lovely ladies have cliff notes, that would be tres helpful. 
ETA: I'm mostly in weaves. I'm planning to get another install from December to March. I was planning to do this treatment when my hair gets to MBL because I plan to start wearing my real hair at that point. Since my hair will be braided up for three months, do you think it would be a waste if I got the treatment? I am planning to leave some hair out at the top for the weave.

Oh no... let me go look at your tracking...
A cut from waist to BSL???????????? We just skipped right on past MBL... Is she still breathing....
NO CUTTING!Lol well excuse me for liking earthy scents

And I don't mind testing my BKT in the heat atall...
I always reclarify ... especially since I use poo soo much less now... don't want the conditioner build up to take away from my shine.

Ediese, you could try the treatment on the portion of your hair that you are leaving out of the install. That way, you can see how you like it.
I, personally, wouldn't do the treatment if my hair is gonna be weaved up. I think it would be a waste, and I wouldn't want to mess up a good thing i've got going. Wait until you reach mbl to take the plunge. By that time, you'd know more about bkt and be more secure/confident in your application.
