Keratin Treatment Review
This past Friday I used a gift card my mother gave me for an express Keratin Treatment. The gift card was actually a door prize my father won at a golf tournament a while ago and it said "Express Keratin Treatment $50 value" on it. So I looked up what it was and saw that the Duchess of Cambridge...you know Kate, well she gets it done and that was all I needed to know. So I called and made my appointment right away. So they put this product in your hair and blow dry it in...like a really thick conditioner only it doesn't make your hair smooth to brush though...more like tree sap. My scalp still feels like it's bruised in areas where she kept brushing and brushing and brushing...it felt like sticky goop was all in my hair. I thought I would be leaving with silky shiny hair but instead left with thick greasy hair, because you cannot wash it for 8 hours. She tried to make it look nice so that I didn't look gross, but it didn't help out too much. I had plans that night as well! At this point I'm starting to think "I should have saved this for another day." So I put it in a pony tail and literally you could move it and sculpt it. Come to find out an express Keratin Treatment for my length of hair (a little past the shoulders) is $150 - thank goodness they honored the gift card value or I would have been out $100 for sticky hair. I did buy the special shampoo and conditioner is the smallest bottles for $10 each - she said the larger bottles would be best for value and when I get it done again. Yeah right...I'm not spending $150 a month to be tortured for 2 hours again. It took 2 days to wash out the goop completely and now feels normal, but to be honest there is not much difference. It does lay down easier but I still need to use my flat iron to make it really strait. My hair does feel good but there isn't a big enough difference for me to give this a great review. Maybe if I had curly hair, but I have a natural wave to my hair and it is really thick. So don't waste your money but if you have a gift card I would do it.

Thanks Brittany! This was very helpful!
ReplyDeleteI have considered getting this but now I probably won't. :)
I got keratin done right after I had Alora and it was double that regular amount (since I have so much hair). It helped in places, but the same as you, I still had to use the flat iron. They say the more you get it, the better it gets, but I'm not paying that twice a year! I know someone that gets it done regularly, but she finds deals and has much less hair than me. Oh well, at least I tried it.
