Hello to all of my lovely naturals,
Oh boy I have so many pics to post pero I lent my camera out so not until tomorrow...hmph...anyway on to the topic. So you want out of the relaxer game you are tired of the chemical burns or hey you just want to go natural. I hear a lot of ladies say this but they are not interested in rocking their hair al natural they still want it to be straightened (my feelings on that is a whole different topic but baby steps are better than no steps) well you are in luck. I am pretty sure that every one has heard of a Brazilian keratin treatment or B.K.T and you know that it naturally straightens the hair but you are not sure how it does it. Your hair is straightened with the active ingredient keratin, a protein very similar to one of the chemicals that is already found in hair. It usually lasts for 2 months sometimes longer sometimes shorter because it gradually washes away. Remember that with any product different people or different hair types will receive different results, some people will have sleek hair some will have less frizz some will still have to flat iron their hair to get it "more manageable" (hate that word when talking about hair). So first they will apply the treatment, then blow dry your hair, then flat iron it the iron needs to be about 450 degrees in order to seal in the treatment. Oh and keep in mind that these treatments contain formaldehyde I know I know you found one that is formaldehyde free they too contain formaldehyde but at a minimal amount you can claim to be formaldehyde free. So ask around and ask the salon questions or just leave the chemicals alone : ) either way enjoy your journey
