The japanese straightening is a chemical permanent process, the keratin treatment is much better for your hair and I think it last for a few months- its more of a relaxer then a straightener (so if you wanted to say curl your hair you still could). My hairdresser couldn't recommend the keratin treatment enough to me (I ended up not getting it done but I am thinking about it). The japanese is definitely more severe (and super straight) but I heard it really damages your hair and you have to be careful when getting it done again that they don't re-straighten the same hair bc you could have breakage....HTH
Sorry Kedra I got your fm and was going to wrote back to you tonight. The difference is the japenese is a straightening process that grows out from your roots like when you dye your hair. The keratin/brazillian more of a conditioning treatment that repels water and humidity. You can still curl your hair or whatever you want to it it just won't be frizzy. She said it last the least 3 months the most 5 but everyone's hair is different and it washes out doesn't grow out after time. Hope this helps and go for it!!
Do you mind saying how much to you spent for the Keratin treatment? Or can you Fm me the cost-- Thanks!!

get the keratin. I have a bunch of friends that get it done. It's much gentler on your hair.
def get keratin (its better for your hair) doesnt make it SUPER straight but controls frizz and tight curls etc. they have a 24 hour one now thats much better than not washing for three days! fm for more info. my moms a hairdresser.

keratin is great, adds to your hair, doesn't strip it
go for the 3 or four day treatment and do it on a thursday so the grossness is reserved for the weekend
( went to work with the gunk in my hair by the fourth day my hair was so icky and, it looked greasy)
HOWEVER all that being said, my hair was FABULOUS for the next 3 months!!
the Japanese thing is not healthy i hear, leaves your hair split and dry.
hope that helps :)
it runs about 200 to 250 (depends on the salon)
the process goes like this
they put a smock on you
they put stuff in your hair the consistency of hair color
with the gunk in they proceed to flat iron your head
you go home and cant wash it, keep it as straight as
possible
after about 4 days (your hair gets a little oily, ya haven't washed it in four days!)
then you wash it with a special shampoo
TADA - fabulous hair ( a little flat at the roots, make sure you style accordingly)

yea, my brother and some other people (the ones that speak the truth) told me. I thought it was funny as hell, bt when I did look in the mirror it was so true.
I'm going tomorrow to have the keratin/brazilian treatment done!! I can't wait. I had the japanese done a few years back and it killed my hair. I had to cut it all off cause it was fried.
I got it japanese straightened once in queens- it was awesome- I LOVEEEEED IT. i didnt even have to blow dry it and it was amazinggggg-- I wouldnt do it now though b/c it wouldn't hold a curl if i tried (an my hair is naturaly curly). I am going to do the keratin though!
I want to do it too!!!!!!! let me know if you do and how it goes

I had the 24 hour one and no gunk or not washing it for 4 days I loved me hair on the first day actually after she blew it dry in like 2 mins lol...and I did it with 2 friends and she used the same on all of us and we have different color hair she sprayed it all from the same bottle. And I don't need special shampoo just sodium chloride free and sulfer free. I have tresseme and she said that was fine. She did it on my boss and it has lasted great that's why I went to this lady in particular.
I got the japanese years ago in Queens and I loved it.. The only thing is that it makes your hair really flat. It took me like 5 min to do my hair it was great but im afraid my hair will fall out so i haven't done it since. It does last a long time though!!
