Still I considered this like a risk
PRODUCT ITSELF : 5 STARS. (-1 for customer service, explained at the end) My hair is 3c/3b. I've been growing it out and taking care of it for years but i needed change and something to make my life easier. Did plenty, plenty of research. Still I considered this like a risk. Many pictures online show the 'after' only straightened. To me the real after was after the first wash. Straightened hair wasn't impressive to me as it's pretty much your usual flat iron job. Except when i actually did it to my hair.. I've never really had problems doing it 'sleek' but this was a whole other level of sleekness. My hair just wouldn't frizz. I was amazed. Amazed. Usually my hair frizzes within the end of the second day. Make sure you carefully read instructions. Squeaky clean hair and LITTLE sections for everything. I took like half a day to do it but my results are very uniform. I don't have a single strand that looks how it used to look as i really didn't want a mix of textures. This product WORKS. If I had this done for 600$ as i was considering it, i wouldn't be disappointed. In fact, I've had 2 keratin treatments before this one by professionals. This one was the best! You know your hair better than anyone else, after all. My hair is now very looser curls when air dried. About 80% of the frizz is GONE. I used very very little product. Shampooed and a bit of conditioner (i usually use a ton). My hair has volume but not the poofy frizzy volume. It's super super soft to the touch (used to be kinda rough) and it's shiny. The curls aren't all clumped/defined but i feel like it gives it all a very natural look. I have yet to see how long it lasts and will update, i hope i remember. It will be a whole other experience to do it for a second, third time. So far I feel like it hasn't done any harm at all to my hair, it feels amazing. I used a lower temperature than 450, about 415-420. I paid extra for a specific date of shipping and it was late. Contacted the seller about it with no answer. I'm not very difficult and honestly don't care anymore about it. Just a simple reply with a 'sorry' would've done it. Answering customers is the least you can do and I wouldn't even have mentioned it in my review. For that ONLY, it lost a star. UPDATE :* After about a month* I will include some more pictures to show how it changed my curl pattern. This is pretty much EXACTLY what i wanted. The picture in my room is in the morning. After sleeping with a ponytail that would've left my curls denting in the middle before and frizzy. Used little conditioner the day before when i did a wash & go. So it's not even on it's best day. And the picture in the car, before, i used lots of conditioner and even gel to try and tame the frizz. Ultimately always had to tie the top part of it so i didn't look like a lion. My hair now looks much longer, flatter because the frizz is so much reduced BUT is still bouncy, shiny, pretty defined curls and so healthy looking. I estimate this to last about 3 months for my type of hair and amount of washes. I will come back then and after in re-purchase, because I will. UPDATE : *After second keratin treatment* So the first treatment lasted a good 3 months with good results, after that it really started to get back to the way it was : curlier and frizzy. I was scared of doing it for a second time and of what it would do to my hair but it is actually exactly the same results as the first time concerning the health of my hair. The curls seem to be a little looser. Especially after the first shampoo. (picture with the snapchat filter). With the first treatment i used the whole bottle and with the second i used exactly half of it, and my hair is long. It came out a little heavier than the first time even though I was worried that I didn't use enough? Well, it's something to get the hang of! This is my final update unless something bad happens, but as of today I would recommend this product to anyone with curly hair looking to simplify their life! My hair detangles in a few passes of brush in the shower when it used to take literally like one hour. Now it is seconds, and i walk out with a little bit of conditioner and let it air dry. Very low maintenance compared to what i'm used to. Last & final update 20/11/2017 Still in love with this product. My hair has been growing faster. Usually I can't notice if my hair grows even if it doesn't necessarily grows slowly. So since hair speed doesn't change, this has to do with how good this is at keeping hair healthy and preventing breakage! I will even be doing this on my mom next :) I hope this could help someone :)
