ummm, hey. I've been stalking you for a week or two (three) nowlook .. when you gonna put up pics from your BKT???
do it, do it, doo ittttt!!!
So are you a licensed cosmetologist? What do you think about Pravana which I can get without a license? I'm thinking I just want the keratin infusion to correct past damage.
I asked the same question last week - lol (cant find the link now though). I've been told they can be used safely in conjunction with each other. And since BKT is keratin and the MT is protein, it makes sense. Many members on here use both......
Ok - im just gonna continue posting all up in here - just cuz i'm bored and know the answers - lol.
Yes, it can be used on relaxed and natural all the same. Its supposed to last longer on relaxed hair and is recommended for colored hair as well. It reinforces the hair with keratin and will make it stronger against breakage and shiny (the reason relaxed heads like it) and easily styled and easy to manage/detangle (the reason naturals like it). Just keep in mind - its not permanent (wears off in a couple months) and b/c of this, whenever you do it, you have to do the whole head, rather than just the roots. hth..
Can I use a heat protectant before flatironing but after applying the treatment?

so this treatment last for 2-3 mos dpending on if your relaxed or natural, your hair stays straight when washed and your hair reverts back to is regular texture after 2-3 mos?(no demarcation line, no difference in textures, just silkier smoother hair) your hair can be washed and styled has normal 3 days after use
u shouldnt need one. the treatment itself is kinda wet - it IS the heat protectant - its a coating like using a serum or smthg, keeping hair moisturized underneath and easy to heat style.
crazydaze your natural right? what's your texture? does your hair still look natural can you still wear natural styles (twists, braid outs) sorry for the questions I just don't want my hair permanetly straight, I want something that I can still wear natural styles but no knots and tangles. if I were to just do it twice a year will this give me what im looking for?
That's mine airdried...I had it in a clippie, so its got a bend in it, but its laying flat other than that.
Thanks for posting this. I'm seriously going to look into this. Even if my hair doesn't get straight, if this helps make it softer and more manageable, that will be great. The Culture Salon in Houston does it, but I have to find out if it's the one with no formaldehyde.
Here is my airdried pic from today
I just did BKT for the first time on Thursday. I washed today. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of my hair. I have a few pictures I took later that day with my cat, and in some of them you can see the shine at least, on my journal. http://chokitty.blogspot.com/ I did the treatment myself, it was easy for me. (Of course, I never say do it yourself. Just because I take the chance, doesn't mean everyone should.) The fumes only really bothered me when I was APPLYING it. And then, it just made my eyes water a bit. I loved how it turned out. The newgrowth right up against my scalp, I couldn't get...but the rest of the new growth came out mostly straight...its still got a wave to it, but that's okay, I can get a comb through it. I was three of four months past relaxer. My hair likes to build static though, so by today, it was a little poofy from static since I couldn't tie it back or use clips...but it was wash day. Its air drying now, I washed using Hair One, and applied my coconut oil. So far, its staying straight. Its about 80% dry and it isn't poofy. Which is good. If my hair is going to poof, it does so well before its dry.
edit: I did use a fan blowing directly on my face, and I aired the room.
But will it still be stretched out and easier to detangle? That's a greater priority for me than straight hair.Also, for those that dont know, you have to use one w ether or formaldehyde as that is what gets and keeps your hair straight. If you use one w/o it on your hair, your hair will revert (will not be stright after first wash after the bkt)
