Review (5/5): Tested on the worst hair - results amazing!
During the pandemic, we all had to stay home. No beauty salons were open and the thought of spending the kind of money on a Brazilian blowout from the past was now unthinkable. As my last treatment from last October was wearing off and the humidity was rising, I decided it was time to see if home products had improved since my last failed attempt.
I have the worst hair imaginable. It is kinky and frizzy and very coarse - almost feeling very damaged, but that's its usual thing during summer. I am also not very good at doing the things required for a keratin treatment. Warnings of fumes and not for use except by a professional steered me away immediately. Also any mention of having additional hands for help was not an option.
I landed on this one because it was chemical free and seemed doable. I've had this process done many times and was familiar with the steps. Doing it on myself - that was a first. It took several hours as I left the product on for a full hour and mask about the same time. I didn't have a flat iron but did have a curling iron which I used as a direct swipe going from root to end.
I was also able to target the worst areas as my hair is also not consistently the same from back to front. Then it was time for the final rinse. I was very happy with the results. The first thing I noticed was that my hair still had some body to it - not like with salon results where My hair would be stick straight for weeks. As we were in a very humid rainy stretch, the true test was in the days to follow. My hair remained resistant to the weather.
It has been a week now since my treatment and my hair is still soft, silky and manageable. I will continue using this every few months and have no intention of paying .... ok, I'll tell you - $350 per treatment (breath) when I can do just as good a job for a fraction of that. I'll continue to improve as I go along.
Please note that Frizz Control 2 is only the Keratin treatment. They do sell the complete package, but if you want to save even more, you can use what you already have around the house - or shop for the best price. You will need a clarifying shampoo to strip hair of all residue, a hair mask (conditioner) - I bought Keratin Intense Prostraight, a plastic cap, gloves, a large tooth comb and a flat iron. The heat is what seals the deal and also allows you choose the level of straightness you want.
Great product - great results - and I am the crash dummy of Keratin treatments. if it worked this well on my horrible frizzy kinks - it will work for anyone. Just don't skip any steps and take your time - it is so worth the time.
