Testimonials

Hi, my name's Michelle and about three weeks ago I took the plunge and received a Brazilian Keratin Treatment.

I absolutely love what it did for my hair. It's a miracle.

Just some background: I'm in my 40's and my hair is naturally rough, coarse, and has a natural/ funky little wave to it and I've been told many many times that the only way to manage it was to use lots and lots of product in my hair.

I grew up in the late 80's early 90's, need I say more to the hairstyles back then and the kind of styling products that were available 15-20 years ago? They weighed my hair down, felt sticky, and never lasted. In the humidity of Florida, it was a loosing battle.

About 2 years ago, my family and I were stationed in Okinawa. I suffered from what my friends called, "The Okinawa Frizz". The humidity there just enhanced my hair problems. It looked so bad all the time.

To combat "The Okinawa Frizz", a lot of wives were getting this Japanese hair straightening treatment. Some had good results others not so much. It didn't even look natural. It didn't move naturally, it didn't feel real, it made their hair look thin and limp. Then I was told that this particular treatment was only recommended to be used only twice a year; how could that be good for your hair? It was so damaging. YUCK! I stuck with "The Okinawa Frizz".

Even now, with the improvement in styling products, my problem hair was manageable but the frizz always seemed to sneak back especially in humid weather, but it was an improvement.

A long time ago, I just made peace with the fact that I was never going to have the hair I wanted. UNTIL NOW! Getting the Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT) was the best decision I ever made. My hair looks and feels healthy, shiny, smooth, and soft.

It literally looks like Jessica, my stylist, styled my hair every morning. Isn't that what every girl wants? Everyday looking like they just walked out of the salon?

Jessica thoroughly explained to me what the BKT is and what it isn't. Here's my take on it: It provides a natural way/process that feeds the hair what it needs and what it's been missing, it rebuilds and repairs the hair.

No damaging effects of using heat from a combination of blow drying and straight irons or chemicals that breakdown the hair (ala the Japanese method) to get beautiful magical results.

I've read some other testimonials describing some of the "difficult" aspects of the treatment. For example: It's a long process; up to 3-4 hours (depending on the length of hair) in a chair; there are restrictions that you have to abide by for 4 days. The toughest one for me; was not washing or wetting your hair for 4 days while the treatment set in. By the 3rd day, I really really wanted to wash (rather cut off) my hair.

On the 4th day, went back for my wash and style; within 15 minutes, without any styling products, just a blow dry, I was left with the most amazing hair I've ever had in my life. I'm in my 40's! I've put my hair trough a lot to get a fraction of these results. I've hidden my hair by keeping it pinned up, in pony tails, under hats!

You know what? My kids take swimming lessons in a pool that's heated and enclosed in a bubble for this time of year. I spend 2 hours in this hot and humid environment. When I leave, there is not one hair out of place, not even a hint of a frizz. Before BKT, whenever we left the pool, it was "The Okinawa Frizz" all over again.

The best things about BKT:

(1) Less product: The styling products I use enhance the BKT's effects, however, my hair still looks great if I decide NOT to use them that day. I don't even need hairspray.

(2) Less time: When blow drying, my hair is dry and styled in 10 minutes

(3) EFORTLESS Hair: Sometimes I don't even use a brush while I blow dry. My hair looks like it's been gently dried by the wind. It's the right amount of messiness.

None of these things would have happened before BKT. It's hair that makes me feel and look younger. Hair that every stylist (Senior Stylist in fancy expensive salons) said I could only have with the use of numerous styling products, styling appliances and TIME.

For me, The most IMPORTANT aspect of the BKT (and why I decided to do it):

It's a natural prodct, a natural treatment, gentle and good for your hair.

My hair is changing as I get older. It changed quickly after I had my children. It's not as thick, not as bouncy, not as healthy as before. I'm not willing to do anything that is harmful to my hair or aid in acceleratng it's aging

AND I HAVEN"T

NOT WITH THE BRAZILIAN KERATIN TREATMENT

I DON'T HAVE TO SETTLE ANYMORE.

YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER.
