Salon BKT? or @ home BKT?

[bellebebe]

My hair dresser does formaldehyde free BKTs for $250 and that does not include her tip. I want it done soooo badly that I am willing to spend that amount. Do you think it's worth it being done at the salon? or just save some of that money and do it myself.

Take it to tha crib. Save your $$. It's way tooo ez.

how about you send me the money and i will do it for you lol

girl you crazy

Girl, do it yourself. It's not that hard.

First, try a test patch. Not a few strands, a fairly large clump. After a week or so, see if you like it and if it looks OK. Then, do your whole head. Then...

take the extra $200 and put it in your savings account. You'll look fantab and be proud of yourself for being so frugal!

Girl you better do that yourself. I have done it 5 times on my own head. There is a thread that will help through the process. Plus all of the BKT gurus are there. You can ask questions. I love BKT. That is too much money to be giving away. Also do a search on BKT within this forum. You will find lots of pics too. HTH

My first and second BKT were done at the salon, but not for $200! I paid $75 the first time for the Lasio One Day BKT and $99 the second time for Rejuvenol BKT.

I bought the Rejuvenol BKT kit and then did the third BKT with DH.

Thank soooo much ladies, where do I buy the formaldehyde free one? and which is the best brand?

softliss is formaldehyde free. Dreamhair is another brand that's also a big hit!

I think you're safe going with either option. I've tried softliss but I'm going to use Dreamhair my next go around.

I would also suggest doing your hair in section for the first time. It's a length (but easy) process so give yourself time to do it right and be gentle to those strands. I'm BKT for life. Sorry pics in my siggy are pre-BKT - can't update until after my current challenge. PM me if you're interested in seeing Softliss results

DIY...you could buy a year+ worth of BKT for that price.
