I'm going to be getting a major cut, which means I won't like it for a while, so I won't want to post pictures of something I don't like. And on top of that, I can't wash it for 3 days, so it'll be a major cut that's gotta stay straight, so I'm SURE I won't like it before Thursday. 
Nope! I rarely do
LeBronland? Cuyahoga or Summit?
I had the same experience! I hated Sabino on my non-BKT hair, but it works wonders with the keratin treatment in my hair.
All of my curl has come back now (yay!) But it's quite a bit looser than before, which is a good thing IMO....it's prettier and more manageable now.
erplexed. It is strange because up until doing this last treatment I had no breakage. I was actually retaining and this is the longest my hair has ever been. I noticed that even before I put the flat iron on a section I'd comb it out and there were strands of long broken hairs. Breakage does not scare me because I think a little breakage is inevitable especially with fine hair but it's the length of the hairs that worries me.
I was like "What's wrong with my hair?" I was so used to the feel of it with BKT, I forgot what it was like without it.
Hi ladies,
I always said that if I was having issues with the BKT that I'd report it. Well I just did another QOD Gold treatment (2nd one), this is my 6th or 7th treatment overall. I have started to notice more breakage and the strands are LONG
So I was trying to figure out what I did that could have caused it and I think that the heat finally got to me. I always do the naked blow dry AND flat iron on 450 because I felt that I wanted a good strong bond between the keratin and the hair. I didn't watch how many passes either. I know many of you turn the heat down but for those who don't please do. It may come back to bite you in the butt later.
I am not ready to give up on BKT because I believe that when used wisely it can be a great help! I think what I am going to do is invest in that Izunami flat iron because it holds the temp and doesn't go over 400 degrees. Honestly if I don't BKT my hair my only options are natural or relaxed. Relaxing jacks up my hair and scalp and there's nothing I can do to tweak it so that it won't. Being natural, I lost a LOT of hair detangling. But until this past treatment BKT was perfect. So I will try the lower heat the next go around. I'm also going to put some more time between now and my next treatment to see how my hair's doing as far as the breakage. I'd like to chalk this one up to user error before I nix the whole thing. Hope this helps someone.

. Well I am BKTing every 4-6weeks, I only use heat for application ( I flat ironed once in between treatments) otherwise I just wash and air dry and keep my hair clipped up 24/7. I use to flat iron weekly when I first found the boards and my hair did pretty well (I never got long strands of breakage) but I wasnt using it on 450 with 10 passes either. I know I am breaking one of the LHCF commandments here but I have never been a DCer. When I first came to the boards I emailed Victor Sabino a lot and he always said that DCs, protein treamtments, oils, leave ins, moisturizers, etc. were a waste of time and money. He told me that all hair needs is water to moisturize. I said even afro textured hair?! He said yes. A gentle shampoo, simple conditioner and Lok and Blok to seal it in until next shampoo (but the trick is to shampoo often to replenish moisture from the water). So I tried it but I got scared to do it for too long because of what people were saying on the boards about not DCing or moisturizing. Well I just recently started back and I have been doing that for a few weeks and my hair felt great, never dry but maybe with all the heat that i'm using now for BKT it's not enough. Perhaps if I were heat free...Anyway sorry so long

mstar, I was extremely worried about reversion and it took over 3 months to get the curl back - even with trying to strip it. I've heard that it doesn't fully wear off until 5 or 6 months. When mine finally wore off, I could tell right away - all that easy detangling came to a screeching halt!
Hi sipp, all of the questions help me figure out what's going on
I cosign this all day long!mstar, I was extremely worried about reversion and it took over 3 months to get the curl back - even with trying to strip it.

Yesss my hair and I had a real moment when my BKT wore off because it looked at me like, "I know you don't think you're combing root to tip, right now, right?"
