I have to STRONGLY agree with the suggestion to do the Brazilian Keratin treatment!
I JUST did 2 weeks ago and have NEVER been so in love with my hair. It takes 10 mins. to blow dry straight. Today is the first time I am wearing curly and it's humid out....my curls are bouncy and FRIZZ FREE.
Best of all, I have hardly any product in my hair, a bit of finishing cream and that's it. Before I used to have to use mousse, anti frizz, hair polish ect.
Get the Brazilian straightening- you wont regret it.
My hairdresser wanted me to get this done, but I decided not to because she was saying how nasty your hair is for a few days and that you can't pull it back, wash it or anything. I think I remember her saying 3 days. I was afraid it would make my hair greasy.
You can't wash your hair for three days and it does look pretty gross by day three. Especially because after they have put the treatment in they blow it out and then flat iron it. So it's not only greasy looking but it is pin straight, needless to say I didn't leave the house unless it was absolutely necessary after the first day. I usually do it on a thursday so that I can kind of hide away for the weekend with it.
Even though the 3 days of no washing are a pain, the end result is worth it. I have curly hair and I can straighten it in the summer and not have to worry about it curling or frizzing. I really recommend it if these are problems that you have with your hair as well.
I went to Space Salon and Spa in Astoria, Queens and worked with Adela. I HIGHLY recommend her
So, yes....it's true. There is a 3 day period where you can't wash. I wanted to die on day 3! Ugh. If possible do it on a Friday morning and then by Monday morning you can wash it.
That being said, it wasn't as bad as I thought- I'm used to washing my hair every day and the way it felt after the treatment was a little weird. After you wash it out....you're good to go.
Think about it girls, the best thing is that you WILL retain your curls, they will just be frizz free and in my case- bouncier.
