. This did not work out for me 
. I washed my hair withe the Neutrogena Anti Residue and tried not to condition much so my hair would remain clean. I let it air dry and blow dried the last bit of dampness out.
I then applied the QOD in fairly large sections...the 60 ml amount seemed not to be quite enough ( i mixed it with a bit of milk to increase the amount of product ) so I was concerned about not getting all of my hair. I tried to blow my hair out but it was SO GUNKED by the QOD and it just became horridly dull and dry. I then went to flat iron but the product sizzled and stank and I felt like I was damaging my hair.
I washed it out and my hair seems fine but sheesh. Never again. I'm disappointed.
I think I may have applied it too heavily but even so the product clearly does not get along with my hair.
I'm still considering having a keratin treatment done at a salon though.

Sorry that it did not work for you. Did you condition after shampooing with the Neutrogena? The QOD is supposed to be applied directly after shampooing with a clarifying shampoo. Also it works better when you apply in very small sections so you can distribute evenly.
Sorry that it didn't work for you and good luck on your salon treatment.

Is the keratin treatment supposed to act as a "heat protectant" from all the blow-drying and flat ironing one must do to seal it in?
I conditioned with a light conditioner because the neutrogena tangled my hair. I rinsed very thoroughly though.
Also wanted to add that I'm relaxed 3b with around 6 mths of new growth. Much of the new growth was more agreeable with the qod than the relaxed hair... I think this might have been better on all natural hair.
I stilk want to transition again but I need something to tame the extreme frizz I get when I'm not roller set or flat ironed .

Found a product for AA hair from QOD caled Turbe but it's out of stock. http://www.fashionandbeautystore.com/qod-brazilian-keratin-treatment-turbe.html. It's not sold on that QOD site but they posted a video about on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiwuXZOXigU. I guess you can mix it with Organic Max to make it more potent. I want to try it so bad.
There is also this spray that makes the products work better http://www.fashionandbeautystore.com/qod-q-locker-spray.html. I'm looking for other stores that carry it.

I washed my hair with sulfate shamoo and non sulfate and did my roller set and my hair feels strange. It's coated and slightly stiff and smells weird. Its as if I used a setting lotion or something. It did seem REALLY soft and manageable when wet but that may have just been because I used ORS Replenishing Pak which I've never used before...

any tips on washing this from the hair faster? im gonna use the neutrogena anti residue for sure tonight...
i used a sulfate shampoo last wash but when i flat ironed my hair seemed very weighed down and i could still smell the keratin.
i wonder if it will stay in my hair longer since i didnt really flat iron it in when i did the treatment?

That's why I stopped using QOD. I had the same issues. Once it came out good but I always had that gunky flakey , hard to blow dry issue.

Arlana more frequent shampooing with a harsh sulfate shampoo will get it out sooner. It may take a few washes before it is completely gone.
thanks, i dont usually wash more than once per week but tomorrow when I wash I will do a few extra lathers with a harsh shampoo and condition longer.
i just shampooed like 8 times with clarifying shampoos to get the treatment out... the neutrogena anti residue and ors creamy aloe. strangely my hair BARELY tangled! That keratin must be working some kind of magic.
Anyway I realized that i used ors replenishing pak last time and maybe that was in part why my hair felt so coated. The third ingredient or so is OIL! I used it tonight and realized that and then shampooed it right out because I don't want another episode of coated hair after my set.
I'll come back here when my set is done to update on whether my hair still feels gross and coated.

I did the same thing the first time and it was horrible. I know that super, extra crispy feel. Ugh. The second next time I did my hair, I applied it very, lightly. Honestly, I didn't think it would work, but it turned out the bomb. I also only flatiron it once or twice.My hair keeps all the curl and the natural silkiness and smoothness but it doesn't respond to humidity.
It's a miracle product once you find the right way to apply it for your hair type. I did mine *exactly* like Biancaelyse did her daughters' hair and it worked like a dream.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. You have really pretty hair.

for me it was more of a super coated, almost waxy feel after my initial rollerset. very gross. and the smell when i flat ironed was awful. even when i ironed yesterday it felt waxy but at least it came out shiny again.
also after applying i couldn't really blow dry, my hair was far too coated in product, it was just all dried out and awful... does that mean i used too much? i don't know how to apply it more lightly lol
im tempted to give it another shot now though...

All natural!
I just applied the QOD Max Organic monday night.
My hair has 6-7 inches of virgin new growth, looks to be about 4a or B, soft, fine (cotton candy). The remainder of my hair is tex-laxed, with a 4 inch stretch that is bone straight. So i have lots of lines of demarcation.
I am looking for a way to transition, just so I can move to Japanese Thermal relaxers safely. I got the QOD as a way to help with this; I nearly ordered the Design Essentials.
My hair took a long time but the process was easy (if that makes sense) and the outcome was gorgeous. My hair hadn't been straighter since I did a bone straight relaxer and BKT on top 5-6 years ago! It it super, duper straight.
Well, it was. So I woke up today to find that some of the new growth close to my scalp has reverted, and a there is a bit of reversion around my edges. Recall, my entire head was so straight you'd have thought I had a scalp full of relaxer burns but no, it was all due to product.
Oh - I used the iron at 400, 2-3 passes - instructions said use 7! No way!
Did any of you all have any reversion of new growth before washing it out? Will it make a difference if I go back over the little bit of reversion tonight? Did I not put enough product?

I have washed out a keratin treatment I had applied that I am allergic to. How soon after I have washed out a treatment can I apply another one, specifically the QOD Max Organic.
Are there any other options than purchasing at $190.00 for the bottle?.
Another question, how do most of you ladies style your hair after applying a keratin treatment. I sense most avoid blow dryers and flat irons. I wear mines in a WNG and love it, although with this last treatment my hair was a matted, tangled, knotted mess. I am praying I can return to my WNG as I am extremely lazy.

winterinatl I didn't experience reversion within the first week but I do usually leave the treatment in after flat ironing on a low/medium setting. I normally don't wash it out for a week.

Not sure on how soon another treatment can be applied. Hopefully someone else responds on their experience there.
On your other questions...
- I purchase the $50 kit on Amazon. Depending on how much hair you have it's enough for 2 treatments since it's supposed to be applied lightly
- for styles I normally do 1 of these: tension blow dry, air dry then flat iron, or set on curl formers. Usually I'm in a bun, goddess braids, or some other up do. Occasionally I'll wear a curlformer curly up do. Only when I first do the treatment do I wear my hair down. Now that I've big chopped (2 weeks ago) I'll probably do the same and just add an occasion flat twist out in. I would love to do WNG's regularly but when I was natural before it just caused too many tangles and ssk's. All that said I think you'll be able to rock WNG's. My hair is still curly so a WNG is an option if I choose to go that route.

caliscurls, I left mine in for a week before shampooing. After I blow dried and flat ironed again, I didn't have issues with reversion, funny enough. Although I was sure to use my Sabine moisture block.
Lately I have been working out a lot and have used WEN products for a wash and pull back and go, lol. I don't intend to flat iron again for quite a while, maybe not until it's time to do another treatment. It makes it WAY easier to wash and style. It's worth it just for that even if there is a teeny bit of reversion.
This is the most of my natural hair I've seen as an adult. It's exciting!

winterinatl I'm glad it's working for you! It's definitely been a sanity saver for me. Who knows about the reversion thing. I'm in a pretty dry climate and usually scale back my exercise the week of the treatment, that could be it on my end.

Ladies,
I just want to share my experience with a recent BKT treatment in case others are having similar situations.
I had a BKT applied and regrettably I did not recognize I was allergic to the product. I experienced incredible breakage, long (8"+) clumps of strands, beautiful handfuls of curly coils. My hair was a matted and tangled mess. My neck was breaking out where the hair rubbed my neck and back. I have never had an allergic reaction to any product, so I did not recognize the signs.
To combat the stickiness, tangles and matted hair, I finally did a GHE for 24hrs straight.That yielded great results. My hair improved immediately. It was soft and a lot less tangled and matted. There were still tangles and matts, but much less so. The more I kept it conditioned and GHE the better the results. Within five days my hair seemed to have rebounded and was 'normal' again. However, I continued to break out and finally put the dots together that I was allergic to the product.
I washed the product out and all of the shedding and breakage stopped immediately. Haven't experienced any negative effects.
This is the product that was applied.

I plan to try QOD Organix next.

I had a similar experience with the QOD chocolate. I had used it many times with great results but the last time I developed a bad rash on my neck and back (where the hair touched) and my hair started shedding. After two days I washed my hair with a sulfate shampoo and deep conditioned. I continued doing this every other day to wash it out. Thank God it worked! The shedding stopped and my hair rebounded. I'm not as brave as you are... No more BKT's for me.

This is why I stopped using BKT as well. I was allergic to it, I used to use QOD Max. My scalp would itch like MAD, my neck would itch, and I'd experience my seasonal allergy symptoms 5x worse whenever it was in my hair - itchy eyes/nose/throat, runny nose and coughing. I'm sure it had also made me short of breath a couple times too :no no:. It ended up in the trash...sucks that it had cost so much
