As an actually stylist, Brazilian Blow Out is just a brand name of keratin treatment. Majority of keratin treatment has formaldehyde in them except for a few brands. A lot of salons make you wear a mask if they have bad ventilation. At the salon I work at we have specific vents just for keratin, and we also take a lot of steps in order to make it safe for ourselves and our client and other clients in the salon. For example doing it during a late appointment so there aren't as many people in the salon, having multiple fans blowing away from your chair, and having a door open. In the state of California there are some salon that prohibit doing keratin treatments because of OSHA. You can do color the same day as keratin it is just suggested to do the color first. And beware that the keratin does strip some of the color so your stylist might make your color darker just to compensate for that. It isn't the formaldehyde that strips the color it actually is the flat ironing that does. Brazilian takes away 80% of frizz, 50-70% of curl pattern depending on how strong the pattern is, cuts down 80% of dry time, and makes your hair super shiny. Thin hair can do this as well if they are frizzy. But if you're thin with no frizz I wouldn't suggest it. This doesn't make your hair grow if your looking for that it just kind of heals it as your growing your hair out. It's suggested to get it redone every 3-6 months depending on how curly/frizzy the hair is, and what products you use at home. When doing a keratin/Brazilian you can't use any sulfate or sodium chloride shampoo. Basically anything with salt. So like beach sprays even. The steps for Brazilian are 1. Clarifying shampoo 2x 2. Section into 4. 3. Brush onto thin sections and comb through. 4. Blow dry 100% 5. Flat iron 7-10 passes based on coarseness of hair 6. Rinse hair with no shampoo. 7. Apply Brazilian serum 8. Blow dry (no curling) DONE! This may vary based on brand. Most people charge between $300+ I know this is a lot of info but I wanted to make sure people knew before spending a crap ton of money on this service.
thank you!!! this was super helpful! Like I mentioned in the video I am also learning since this was my first time getting this treatment done and I have never done a brazilian blow out so I appreciate the info!!!!
I have 4B/4C texture hair and back when I had red color in my hair after getting the Keratin treatment it turned my red a honey blonde (which was beautiful). Price wise yea I spent around $495 + tip but I think it was well worth it. My hair looked and felt amazing, little to no tangling, dried quick and had such flow to it. Not to mention my hair grew faster.
I don't wash my hair frequently too! It's 100+degrees here and if i feel nasty from sweating I just rinse it with water every day, and shampoo it every 4-6 days
With this video I have realised how much UA-camrs help me with my decisions. When I want to buy makeup I always watch Melissa's reviews first, and I watch another channel if I want to buy an electronic device etc... I have always wanted to get a brazilian blowout but I'm a student and it's an expensive treatment so I didn't want to risk my money but Melissa's hair type, skin tone, eye color is all the same with me so anything that works on her works on me too!! I can't thank you enough for this video Melissa you are truly my hero, love you so much
i know curly hair can be A LOT MORE frizzy, but i have wavy? hair and it basically always looks like shit because some hairs get like 6cm away from the rest and i have lion hair
YES!!!!!! Please do the video on your hair! I always hear these beauty bloggers talk about how they can go forever without washing their hair and I'm over here like WHUT?! I know personally I would benefit from that video and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
I had a brazilian years ago and I remember it taking 3-4 hours and some sleeping majority of that time. now after hearing about the chemicals involved i’m wondering if I was just tired or if I low key lost consciousness😂
Looks great Melissa. Thanks for the info. Don't feel gross about only washing your hair once a week or every 5-6 days. Alot of people I know who have very thick, curly or dry hair, such as me aren't supposed to wash their hair any more than that. It strips out the essential scalp oils and dries your hair out even more. You are so adorable and very talented and informative with your videos. Keep em coming.
I been doing a Brazilian/keratin treatment on my hair once a year, and I’m not afraid of formaldehyde cause the hair dresser will adjust it according to your hair texture… let me tell you , my hair didn’t grow at all , after tha my hair boosted in grow amazingly! My hair is naturally straight, but with hormonal issues, it started to grow wavy on the roots and lose straight on the ends, so weird! So after the Brasilian blow out, my hair looks sleek, strong and incredibly shine!!! I do not regret!
Girls with fine hair, be cautious with this treatment! I have classic Northern European fine hair that is very porous and was quite brittle. I thought that keratin treatment was the perfect solution for my frizzy hair, so I got it done a few years ago. For about 6 months it looked amazing - silky, smooth, but the volume I used to naturally have was gone. Then when it I guess wore off my hair literally broke off from weird places. I had long hair at the crown and my neckline, but the hair on the middle part of my back head was all broken off to about 10 cm and sides too. I hadn't done anything differently, not experiencing any more stress than usual, so it couldn't have been caused by anything else. This was such a struggle for at least a year. It looked like I was wearing really bad extensions. I remember the girl just flat ironing my hair over and over again when the keratin was in my hair and I guess that fried it. Now I finally have normal hair, I found that taking MSM powder mixed with water really helped my hair to grow past the breaking point and help new hairs to start growing. I wouldn't recommend this treatment for people who live in a climate where in the winter it gets more than -10 °C.
Triin V try oils like castor oil, to treat your hair like for 30-45 mins the wash off with shampoo then take a small amount of oil n put it on the ends. I hope this helps :)
Oils like castor oil and coconut oil are too thick for my nordic hair. Luckily I don't have that breakage anymore, Joico products and Hask oils have really helped. :)
I know many girls who Came here and saw her flawless wavy hair hearing her complaining about "fizziness" I have a very curly hair that got heat damaged I cut my ends and did the keratine treatment and this is the BEST!!
Here in Brazil almost everyone have it. I did it for like 10 years. hahaha The only thing you must be aware is that 2 months after the treatment, you must start a deep moisturizing treatment twice a week. specially if you do this often (every 3-4 months). This because the formaldehyde based technique masks the damage in your hair. Two months later, when it starts to come out, you will see it. But if you treat your hair, you'll be fine. aaaaaaand here in Brazil we all know that it DOES damage hair. but we just don't care and do it anyway because we love the results. kisses!!
Juliana Mérida do you know if the keratin treatments without formaldehyde damage hair??? I just got one, and thought it would make my hair healthier, but I did notice that it lightened my hair color and I can't help wonder if that's damage... 450° flat iron...
@@keithpaglinawan5092 thank you, that makes sense. Oddly, even though my hair in some ways has the appearance of better health after the treatment I can see damage... I'm sure the ironing isn't a good thing at 450 degrees...
My mom has been doing keratin for years. She does it herself at home, it works out really well for her. She sometimes colors her hair the night before she does her treatment and she has never had an issue.
I recently got a Brazilian blow for the first time and I love it! It didn't changed my hair texture that much and my hair is like yours. It just made my hair have more beach waves! It honestly looks so much better because if the Brazilian blowout!
Arely Ayala Tellez I had the Brazilian blowout too and I don't know who told her that because my hair didn't change either. It's still curly. I talked to a lot of people who had a kertien treatment and they said it destroyed their hair.
Megan Rock, I asked the same thing to my hairstylist because I wasn't sure if I wanted to get rid of my waves. She told me that it wouldn't change the texture of it. Although, on all the websites that I read about Brazilian blowouts they kept saying that if you have wavy hair it'll turn straight. I just think everyone's hair is different so maybe for some it did change their hair type but not for all. I'm really glad mine didn't change!
Thank you for this! The keratin will loosen your curls for a couple weeks, but they should come back after a few washes--but without the frizz. I had one done last year and it lasted around 6 months--I think using the shampoo and conditioner from the same line as my keratin really helped prolong it (I had Keratin Complex). I get another one done this Saturday, so I'm going to check out your product recommendations. Also--I'd love to see a vlog on how you maintain your hair daily; my hair is similar to yours, I only wash 1-2 times a week, and I workout everyday, so my hair can look pretty crazy mid-week, especially if it's been air-dried curly (vs blown out straight).
thanks for your info & this video. I finally got a treatment this year and am going to keep doing it at home with Keratin Complex line. It really made my coarse wavy hair into smooth/ shiny/ light waves
Great video. I've had a few treatments done and I absolutely love it. My hair is naturally curly so this helps a lot with all the frizz. It also made my curls a little more relaxed, softer curls. I've also had the Brazilian blowout done, and I loved it too. made my hair a little straighter and super smooth.
You are seriously one of my favourite UA-camrs! Your videos are extremely helpful to me since we have about the same hair type/colour and skin type/colour and I couldn't really find any tutorials that worked for me before I found your channel. You are so underrated!
I would love to see how you keep your hair looking fresh all week! I feel like I can't go more than three days between washes. Thanks for this video!! 😊😊😊. Also, which is more damaging to the hair a keratin treatment or Brazilian blowout? I have had a Brazilian blowout which I love but I feel like it really damaged my hair by making it more fragile and dry. I have also heard that too much keratin can be damaging to hair, is that true?
01:22 I don't understand what the issue is? First sign says the street is cleaned Tuesday from 8AM to 10AM so don't park there at that time. Second and third signs say the same thing, one tells you when you can park which is 8AM to 6PM and the other says when you can't which is 6PM to 8AM (the opposite of the other). It couldn't be more clear.
Similar but different!! ive had 2 Brazilian Blowouts. i loved them! my hair always gets back to its frizzy curly, normal state. I will never straighten my hair again. I love my curly hair! You are gorgeous any way u have your hair, thank u for this!!!
Melissa you have to blow out your hair after washing it so the keratin shows. I have gotten the keratin treatment several times (maybe 5) in the last years. Now I even do it myself and I love it! But I always take care of it so it lasts
I just got mine done August 1 I have very curly hair but love it straight...I get it done every 4-5 months & color & my hair is very healthy I totally recommend this treatment & please have it done at a salon
I personally tried Brazilian blowout several time, first week is amazing and it starts to wear off, even with sulfate-free products. After it goes away u will have a more dryer hair. Also each time you go to the pool or the ocean it goes away way faster, so beware of that. Thanks for the video, I always wondered if these two treatments could be different.
Such an informative video and always wondered what the difference was between a keratin and brazilian. I will be looking to see how long it will last on your hair!
I got an express keratin treatment (lasts 5-6 weeks instead of months) and it did absolutely nothing for my hair. No frizz reduction, no loosening of curls etc. and it burned my eyes/thoat. I would love to get a full keratin treatment if it worked but I'm scared it won't do anything for me again and I'll just get the bad side effects
Can you please show a photo of what your hair looked like after air drying before the keratin treatment? I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth it for me, but I don't know if my hair is curlier than yours
I don't know how detailed the thumbnail looks but that is my hair after air drying, I also have a video called how to air dry my natural hair and you can see my natural texture in that video, hope that helps! :)
We were told to colour AFTER the keratin treatment as it strips the colour. Here they just hot iron the treatment in. Love seeing all the different techniques. Love to know which is correct now.
This was fun and informative! I'd love to see a week in your hair life series. I have dry hair but super oily scalp; wish I didn't have to wash so often, haha. You have a great channel!!
I am so confused because today I had it done for first time. I didnt have to wear a mask, it didn't stink until straightened. My steps were 1.Clarifying 2. Blow Dry 3. Straightened 4. Parted 5. Keratin Applied (20 mins wait) 6. Blow Dry 7. Straightened (20 mins wait again) 8. Cool Blow Dry Thrown off because my stylist then.... 9. Washed Keratin Out w Shampoo (Redken Anti-Frizz) 10. Blow Dry Again 11. Flat Iron It doesn't seem like others had it washed out but my hair kind of felt sticky before washed again.
Hi I had a Keratin treatment, they promised me it was formaldehyde -free ( I think it was Da Mila this is what she told me), but it still was smelly and slightly irritating to my eyes while it was applied. do you think it can be something else than formaldheyde?
Hi Melissa......You should wait at least 10 days before colouring hair after a keratin treatment. It lasts 3-6 months. My hair is like yours (coarse, thick, and curly) and it lasts about 3 months. I've been doing keratin for about 2 years now and I love it. 😍❤️ Glad you love it too.
Yes please! Show us how you go a week. I used to wash my hair every day, and am now down to twice a week but I'm always trying to figure out ways to extend the wash.
You look super pretty without make-up! Love your hair super straight. I get the Japanese Hair straightening, may try this one, since where I live now no one does it..ty
A video on not washing your hair would be so helpful! I struggle so hard with not washing my hair, I almost wash it every day. I know it is so bad but I just don't know how to style it, so I just wash it. My natural waves disappear when I sleep on it :(
charlotte simon just get a sulfate free shampoo. Your hair will be washed without the damage from the shampoo... you’re not supposed to shampoo your hair everyday .
Do you prefer the keratin treatment over the Brazilian blowout? I've don't the Brazilian before and it made my hair SO flat so I'm trying to decide if the keratin treatment is a better option!
Hey! I know you said about the color is best to do the color before the treatment cool but what about after for a root touch up would that still be safe after getting the treatment ????
First..great video very informative. Am doing keratin treatment in few days but i want to know few things first: 1- how long will it last? 2-will i need special type of hair creams or shampoos after the doing keratin 3- what are the side effects of keratin?
+Melissa Alatorre I have been doing Keratin treatment for almost 6 years now. My hair looks way more strait that yours though after the treatment. Basically, I need to keep the product on my hair 72h then wash it (no water, sweat or humidity recommended in that window). If you want to dye your hair or have highlights or whatever you wanna do, you need to do it before the treatment because the keratin will lighten that color; when your hair is prepped and washed before the treatment, the point is of course the clean your hair but also to open the follicles for the keratin to penetrate when applyed on wet hair then is sealed with the straightener. So what happens is that all the dye leaves your hair when the follicles are open, causing the color to become lighter. So if you don't that to happen, you need to do that after and your hairdresser needs to be using products compatible with keratin or the treatment will be ruined. It lasts me anywhere between 4 to 6 months. I start having wavy baby hairs first, then the rest becomes wavy again progressivly. I hope this helped you ! xoxo
I did have a Brazilian Blowout last year. It was okay but to me not worth the price since it is expensive. I did the Keratin the other day and get to wash my hair tomorrow so I can really see if it works. I did notice that the Keratin wasn't as potent as the Brazilian Blowout. I remember my eyes burning and my stylist had to use sunglasses to blow dry my hair. I just like that Brazilian Blowout is immediate.
Now I want a Keratin Treatment because my hair is just naturally dry and frizzy 😭 and I have a bit of curl too. But things can get a bit expensive soooo 🤔😤
i know im kinda late but... i think the treatment that was used by the stylist is not formaldehyde free :( it has been 5 hours since it was applied to my hair. can i wash it off or use sulfate shampoos before the treatment works? (since it will take 2-3 days before the treatment will work ) i dont want to lose my hair since some experienced hair loss and breakage. any advice or tips would be appreciated. thank you
I got a keratine treatment the other day, but was disappointed. Because a simple banana hair mask gives more shine and softness to my hair than those expensive products did.
Does it thin your hair out? Asking because my hair is thinning and I have been losing a lot of hair. I'm trying to get my hair to stop falling out and get healthy hair. I try not dye it as much because of thining.
Melody Davidson after the first treatment no but I have been doing it for almost two years now and I am noticing a lot of breakage. That may be because I have been Heat styling it. When my hair is curly I don't Heat style.
I heard treatments and vitamins helps grow your hair, but since my hair is fragile, I don't want to add to the problem. I'm trying to prevent being bald lol. I was gonna get a treatment done at ulta. It is 87 and up for it.
So you know that episode of Friends where joey finds his hand twin and he thinks it's the coolest thing In the world? Well.....i just want you to know you are my hair twin... we could get famous, how would you like to proceed? Lol but seriously I love any of your hair videos for this reason. I have thick, wavy, frizzy hair and I have STRUGGLED SO HARD! I purchased the lush r&b you suggested and I have NEVER been able to "scrunch" my hair like this in my life! So thanks😉
I'm kind of confused between keratin treatment and Brazilian Blowouts I do not want to lose my curls or my waves but I do want to get rid of the frizz so what would be better for my hair I also bleach and color my hair too.
I love your hair color and cut. Can you tell me what type of cut you get? My hair falls so flat in any cut. Love yours! Edit: I like the texture hair better but the salon job was good. How do you get that texture?
What did you put in your hair it looks sooooo good ❤️❤️❤️ I can't believe your hair takes sooo long to dry. I get dry ends and sometimes frizz if I don't add enough product after the shower
Whats the avg cost? My hair length is currently the same as yours. I dont want to find a place thats too cheap or too expensive. Dont wanna get ripped off

Second and third signs say the same thing, one tells you when you can park which is 8AM to 6PM and the other says when you can't which is 6PM to 8AM (the opposite of the other). It couldn't be more clear.
Similar but different!! ive had 2 Brazilian Blowouts. i loved them! my hair always gets back to its frizzy curly, normal state. I will never straighten my hair again. I love my curly hair! You are gorgeous any way u have your hair, thank u for this!!!
Deanna Wilson that's because these treatments aren't permanent. The Brazilian typically lasts 3 months. Same with keratin.
Melissa you have to blow out your hair after washing it so the keratin shows. I have gotten the keratin treatment several times (maybe 5) in the last years. Now I even do it myself and I love it! But I always take care of it so it lasts
I just got mine done August 1 I have very curly hair but love it straight...I get it done every 4-5 months & color & my hair is very healthy I totally recommend this treatment & please have it done at a salon
Defiantly be down for a weekly vlog on how you manage your hair please! Thanks Melissa! 💋
I personally tried Brazilian blowout several time, first week is amazing and it starts to wear off, even with sulfate-free products. After it goes away u will have a more dryer hair. Also each time you go to the pool or the ocean it goes away way faster, so beware of that. Thanks for the video, I always wondered if these two treatments could be different.
Mine lasted a month, month and a half tops. I expected longer ☹. I would have to get this done monthly and idk would my hair fall out then? Idk
Such an informative video and always wondered what the difference was between a keratin and brazilian. I will be looking to see how long it will last on your hair!
I love both your natural beauty & glammed up beauty. Your lipstick 👄 💄 is reminiscent of Old Hollywood Romance, you look very beautiful ❤️.
I got an express keratin treatment (lasts 5-6 weeks instead of months) and it did absolutely nothing for my hair. No frizz reduction, no loosening of curls etc. and it burned my eyes/thoat. I would love to get a full keratin treatment if it worked but I'm scared it won't do anything for me again and I'll just get the bad side effects
Can you please show a photo of what your hair looked like after air drying before the keratin treatment? I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth it for me, but I don't know if my hair is curlier than yours
I don't know how detailed the thumbnail looks but that is my hair after air drying, I also have a video called how to air dry my natural hair and you can see my natural texture in that video, hope that helps! :)
i spent the second half of the video looking at your lashes 👀💘 your hair looks super pretty and healthy!
The keratin treatment looked so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this info!!
We were told to colour AFTER the keratin treatment as it strips the colour. Here they just hot iron the treatment in. Love seeing all the different techniques. Love to know which is correct now.
Yes please on the keeping your hair fresh w/ not washing video!!
When I did a karten treatment I was given a special shampoo. But when I finished I used baby shampoo as an alternative and it worked great.
This was fun and informative! I'd love to see a week in your hair life series. I have dry hair but super oily scalp; wish I didn't have to wash so often, haha. You have a great channel!!
I am so confused because today I had it done for first time. I didnt have to wear a mask, it didn't stink until straightened. My steps were
1.Clarifying
2. Blow Dry
3. Straightened
4. Parted
5. Keratin Applied
(20 mins wait)
6. Blow Dry
7. Straightened
(20 mins wait again)
8. Cool Blow Dry
Thrown off because my stylist then....
9. Washed Keratin Out w Shampoo (Redken Anti-Frizz)
10. Blow Dry Again
11. Flat Iron
It doesn't seem like others had it washed out but my hair kind of felt sticky before washed again.
Hi I had a Keratin treatment, they promised me it was formaldehyde -free ( I think it was Da Mila this is what she told me), but it still was smelly and slightly irritating to my eyes while it was applied. do you think it can be something else than formaldheyde?
Girl, your before hair was sooo beautiful already!
OMG when you realized you got the parking ticket I busted out laughing. THAT WOULD HAPPEN 😂
What do you use on your eyebrows? They are thick and beautiful. Is this the only thing you used to get them thicker? Thanks!
Which brand did you get? I get GK Resistant, and love it. I won't be able to NOT do it now... I get it done twice a year.
Hi Melissa......You should wait at least 10 days before colouring hair after a keratin treatment. It lasts 3-6 months. My hair is like yours (coarse, thick, and curly) and it lasts about 3 months. I've been doing keratin for about 2 years now and I love it. 😍❤️ Glad you love it too.
Yes please! Show us how you go a week. I used to wash my hair every day, and am now down to twice a week but I'm always trying to figure out ways to extend the wash.
Can you please do a vlog on the chemicals( which ones to avoid)that we should check before buying makeup and hair products.
Do you have to have curly hair in order to get one? I have very thick, frizzy, and puffy hair and I was wondering if I would be legible!
Melissa! What was your lipstick here?? I need to know! 😭
who else immediately left the video when her before hair was straight -___-
You look super pretty without make-up! Love your hair super straight. I get the Japanese Hair straightening, may try this one, since where I live now no one does it..ty
TUTORIAL ON THIS MAKEUP LOOK PLEASE!!
Is it better to apply the keratin product on washed and then blow dried hair or semi wet hair after just washing it??
Oh wow! Such an insightful video into a keratin treatment.. you were on such a roll about the information.. luved it..😊
This red lip is bomb!! I am hypnotised!
Who thinks she is beautiful or is it just me😍❤️❤️
Nowal Niazi she’s gorgeous
She reminds me of Megan Fox.
My hair is fizzy but very thin at the same time...I want shiny straight hair along with some volume, can anyone recommend what treatment should i do
A video on not washing your hair would be so helpful! I struggle so hard with not washing my hair, I almost wash it every day. I know it is so bad but I just don't know how to style it, so I just wash it. My natural waves disappear when I sleep on it :(
charlotte simon just get a sulfate free shampoo. Your hair will be washed without the damage from the shampoo... you’re not supposed to shampoo your hair everyday .
How to not wash your hair. Dont
charlotte simon try wetting and refreshing instead of washing!
hey so it doesnt completely straighten the hair? by lasting do you mean the roots grow or the whole thing disappears?
You looks soooooo much better without all that makeup!!!
Yes please make a video showing your dry shampoo routine and hair styling.
If I keep doing the treatment over time will it eventually dry completely straight
Do you prefer the keratin treatment over the Brazilian blowout? I've don't the Brazilian before and it made my hair SO flat so I'm trying to decide if the keratin treatment is a better option!
Hey! I know you said about the color is best to do the color before the treatment cool but what about after for a root touch up would that still be safe after getting the treatment ????
What brand did he use? Heard there's some brands of that'd don't have as many chemicals.
Jenniffer Padilla yes Keratin Works, but only salons can buy it.
First..great video very informative. Am doing keratin treatment in few days but i want to know few things first:
1- how long will it last?
2-will i need special type of hair creams or shampoos after the doing keratin
3- what are the side effects of keratin?
How much did it cost? And exactly what products are you using now to style shampoo condition?? Thank you.
omgggggggg this look is sooooo good!!!!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUSSSSSSS Im in love seriously.
Please do the video of your hair! I would love to hear your opinion on which dry shampoos work well!
+Melissa Alatorre I have been doing Keratin treatment for almost 6 years now. My hair looks way more strait that yours though after the treatment. Basically, I need to keep the product on my hair 72h then wash it (no water, sweat or humidity recommended in that window). If you want to dye your hair or have highlights or whatever you wanna do, you need to do it before the treatment because the keratin will lighten that color; when your hair is prepped and washed before the treatment, the point is of course the clean your hair but also to open the follicles for the keratin to penetrate when applyed on wet hair then is sealed with the straightener. So what happens is that all the dye leaves your hair when the follicles are open, causing the color to become lighter. So if you don't that to happen, you need to do that after and your hairdresser needs to be using products compatible with keratin or the treatment will be ruined. It lasts me anywhere between 4 to 6 months. I start having wavy baby hairs first, then the rest becomes wavy again progressivly. I hope this helped you ! xoxo
Rimette it depends how curly your hair is. Mine is very curly so curly roots show up pretty quickly for me.
I did have a Brazilian Blowout last year. It was okay but to me not worth the price since it is expensive. I did the Keratin the other day and get to wash my hair tomorrow so I can really see if it works. I did notice that the Keratin wasn't as potent as the Brazilian Blowout. I remember my eyes burning and my stylist had to use sunglasses to blow dry my hair. I just like that Brazilian Blowout is immediate.
Did they mention if this keratin treatment would work on fine/dry/frizzy hair?
keepinitreal it would ! My mom did it to her hair, and the results were very good !
This is literally the same as a Brazillian Blowouut. Ive had mine done twice and love it
Now I want a Keratin Treatment because my hair is just naturally dry and frizzy 😭 and I have a bit of curl too. But things can get a bit expensive soooo 🤔😤
I get an organic keratin treatment, no chemicals no gloves or mask and can get as many as I want in a year. So in love with it!
Can u let us know what you use or link it please
Share please
I have had the Japanese YUKO system treatment for over 10 years and I LOVE IT. My hair is so shiny and healthy and grows so well
i know im kinda late but... i think the treatment that was used by the stylist is not formaldehyde free :( it has been 5 hours since it was applied to my hair. can i wash it off or use sulfate shampoos before the treatment works? (since it will take 2-3 days before the treatment will work ) i dont want to lose my hair since some experienced hair loss and breakage. any advice or tips would be appreciated. thank you
So you can dye your hair then use the keratin right after?
I’m wondering how styling is after you’ve washed it 5 or 6 tines ? How long does the keratin treatment last ?
I got a keratine treatment the other day, but was disappointed. Because a simple banana hair mask gives more shine and softness to my hair than those expensive products did.
R u serious? Jeez what a disappointment... like a smashed banana? Is what u use ?
@@1TLA7 yes! Very ripe banana+egg+olive oil
How often should someone that colors there hair do a Kartian treatment and what home treatments are good kartian treatments ??
i love when you vlog!!
I love it so Im glad you're enjoying these types of videos!!!
Yes would love to see that hair video! Just film all your ideas haha
Does it thin your hair out? Asking because my hair is thinning and I have been losing a lot of hair. I'm trying to get my hair to stop falling out and get healthy hair. I try not dye it as much because of thining.
Melody Davidson same question
I feel like it thinned my hair out terribly. Never doing it again
Melody Davidson after the first treatment no but I have been doing it for almost two years now and I am noticing a lot of breakage. That may be because I have been Heat styling it. When my hair is curly I don't Heat style.
I heard treatments and vitamins helps grow your hair, but since my hair is fragile, I don't want to add to the problem. I'm trying to prevent being bald lol. I was gonna get a treatment done at ulta. It is 87 and up for it.
Thanks everyone for the replies, this helps.
So you know that episode of Friends where joey finds his hand twin and he thinks it's the coolest thing In the world? Well.....i just want you to know you are my hair twin... we could get famous, how would you like to proceed? Lol but seriously I love any of your hair videos for this reason. I have thick, wavy, frizzy hair and I have STRUGGLED SO HARD! I purchased the lush r&b you suggested and I have NEVER been able to "scrunch" my hair like this in my life! So thanks😉
this is awesome! and totally know what episode you're talking about haha!
I got the reference and I am just so happy to find another f.r.i.e.n.d.s' die-hard fan lol
I'm kind of confused between keratin treatment and Brazilian Blowouts I do not want to lose my curls or my waves but I do want to get rid of the frizz so what would be better for my hair I also bleach and color my hair too.
I love your hair color and cut. Can you tell me what type of cut you get? My hair falls so flat in any cut. Love yours! Edit: I like the texture hair better but the salon job was good. How do you get that texture?
Hi!! I have a long straight hair, once silky smooth but now it became so dry and full of split ends and fly aways.. Will you recommend this treatment?
Your hair turned out gorgeous! BTW, what lipstick are you wearing (shade and brand please)?
Did you use any styling product in your hair after washing, or did you wash and let your hair air dry naturally?
Thanks!
Did you use any additional products on your natural hair after you washed it?
What did you put in your hair it looks sooooo good ❤️❤️❤️ I can't believe your hair takes sooo long to dry. I get dry ends and sometimes frizz if I don't add enough product after the shower
Is it okay if you been bleach your hair before and do the keratin treatment?
What hair products do you use? I tried to Google it but didn't come up with anything.
Whats the avg cost? My hair length is currently the same as yours. I dont want to find a place thats too cheap or too expensive. Dont wanna get ripped off
What hairstyle do you have?! I’m struggling to find a good haircut with my thick curly/wavy medium length hair :/
The keratin was applied to my scalp to what do I do?
did you do your normal "natural hair day" routine to achieve the look or did you use less products??
I honestly loved the way your hair was before treatment not saying it doesn't look beautiful after .....
