The other day, I put in Aphogee's 2 minute Reconstructor and I accidentally went to sleep. The next day, I bought a flat-iron and wanted to experiment with it before I was to wash the Reconstructor out of my head. I flat ironed my hair and afterwards got into the shower and I noticed the part where I flat-ironed my hair wasn't reverting. My hair is natural, and EVERYTIME water, or humidity hits my hair, it will REVERT in no time. I was shocked, yet puzzled. I know the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a protein that is sealed into the hair to loosen the curl pattern while using the flat-iron to seal in the molecules. So, I was wondering did I accidentally give myself a Keratin Treatment?
It's not that I'm worried about my hair reverting anyways, when my hair gets longer, I'm planning on wearing it straight all the time, because single-strand knots slows down my retention. If this method is safe and is not damaging my hair, I will definitely use this in the future. Besides, it's much cheaper than a BKT without the formaldehyde. I know heat damage may be an option, but I only took one pass with the flat iron. Can heat damage happen that soon and that fast? I also used a heat protectant. Ladies, please help me shed light on this.
