Spinoff: Keratin Treatment Support Thread

[naturalgyrl5199]

The other one while chock full of information is almost 200 pages so I am starting a new thread because I have a BKT planned for 9/18/10....

I am providing some other links here for past threads for quick access:

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=225757&highlight=Keratin (Brazilian Keratin Treatment)..this one includes a poll and some other information. Lots of links provided here too.

I would like to see some before and after pics if possible. I would also like to see or hear from some BKT vets like Sheba, Edise, and some others who I can't think off the top of my head....

I am doing the one with the 4-day wait before washing...

1. Can anyone weigh in on what you use for moisturizing while the treatment is in for 2 months while the hair is straight?

2. Also can you clarify with ACV before starting the BKT treatment? If not can you recommend a shampoo or conditioner to use before? Is conditioning even necessary?

3. Can I cold-blow dry my hair to stretch it out some, so the keratin gets every cm of
hair? Is this necessary?

Thanks!
