Worked very well for my extremely frizzy, thick hair. Used up the entire bottle, if your hair is very thick like mine, but past bra strap length you might need more than one bottle (or a larger bottle). Yes the smell is bad when you blow dry and flat iron. I sat in front of 2 open windows and an open balcony door, in the Canadian winter weather. Close your eyes when you iron or blow dry the pieces in the front of your face. Application is long. Very happy with the results, my hair feels healthier, is more shiny and WAY more manageable. I will post both and after pictures. Both pictures are of my hair after a shower with no styling at all.

I believe the description of this product was changed to remove the 20ml clarifying shampoo pack after I placed my order. I didn’t have any clarifying shampoo (which is still part of the instructions on the leaflet).
Anyhow I started the treatment myself, washing out with a regular clarifying shampoo until I could feel almost zero residue in my hair. Following the rest of the instructions to the tee I had to block off 6 hours of my day to cover every bit of my super long hair. You don’t need a large bottle or 2 bottles if you are primarily using this product to cover up the new growth of hair. Since the lower part of my hair is still pretty straight from my keratin last year, I only applied residual left over product to the ends.
The trick is to apply a generous amount of product and then when you flat iron make sure that you keep ironing the strands until you see no more steam (Product will steam under hot iron). Start with small chunks and don’t rush this process. I have very long hair and was able to complete the treatment myself in 5.5 hours. I think it would have definitely taken less time with an extra set of hands. I also found that there is no need to keep the product in more than overnight. I woke up the next morning and had to re-iron some of my strands as sleeping on my hair had left it in a crunch.
In terms of recommending this product – yes I was super annoyed when I didn’t receive the clarifying treatment but this is hands down one product that Works! I have been quoted up to $700 for a salon keratin treatment for hair my length and this is such a huge save! If you take care of it, this treatment will last months.

It really does work!! I have tried every type of treatment out there and my hair is so unresponsive. I’ve tried relaxers, I’ve tried perms with big curlers to soften the curl, I even got a brazilian hair treatment in the salon that did NOTHING. And let me tell you, I have very stubborn hair. I have 3B type curls and have always struggled to control it and make it pretty. My hair is coarse and fine and 50% frizz and the curls aren’t uniform so it’s not a good look. It takes an hour to straighten it and once it’s straight it’s so stiff that it doesn’t look natural.
I chose this product because it had such a high rating and because it seemed to be legit. I was very suspicious of all the products I looked at because even though they used so fancy name brand product on my hair at the salon it obviously wasn’t strong enough to work on my hair (it did work on my cousin’s wavy hair though, and took out almost all the frizz, my hair is just stubborn!!) Also, I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something that might not work so I picked this because it was a trial size. I only used about half of it so there’s enough left over for another go around, it’s awesome!
I didn’t even follow the directions and it still worked wonderfully. Let me tell you what I did: I didn’t use a clarifying shampoo because I didn’t want to go buy one, I just washed my hair really thoroughly and scrubbed at my scalp really good to clear away any dead skin or product. Then I rinsed my hair really well to best get rid of any soap residue. I blew it dry (a terrifying sight for my fiance!) and started to apply the product. WHEW the chemicals are strong. I would recommend doing it in a well ventilated room if at all possible because I kept having to stick my head out of the bathroom so my eyes would stop burning. I was not delicate about the application, I ended up putting too much in and my hair was def over-saturated but that’s what I wanted! I let it sit in my hair for thirty minutes while I surfed the internet. I then took a fine comb and combed through my whole head getting rid of the excess product. The directions say to immediately start straightening on soaking wet hair and to me that just felt wrong and like I was going to burn my hair. So what I actually did was blow my hair dry again and THEN I straightened it. I took extra time on each section to make sure I sealed the product into my hair. It probably took an hour but obviously it was worth it. Then the gross part is that your hair is stiff and sort of greasy from the product and you can’t do anything about it. You’re not supposed to pull your hair back, you just have to leave it straight and down and looking yucky. The directions said to leave it in for 72 hours for very curly hair, but I had to shower after 24 hours because I had to go to work. So for the first three days I didn’t shampoo it, just rinsed it and used a little conditioner, which I hardly even needed cause it worked so well. My roots are straight which is a HUGE deal as that is usually the curliest part of my hair. There is still a good amount of curl to it (because the directions say “for very curly hair leave product in for 72 hours” and I only left it in for 24 hours) at the bottom but it’s pretty and manageable. The biggest difference is that there is practically ZERO frizz and the hair is SO soft. It actually looks so much healthier than before I did the treatment. I’M SO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!
As I have half the bottle left, I will probably try again in 3 months or so and I will leave it in for longer to see if that affects the curl. I really don’t feel comfortable with flat ironing soaking wet hair like the instructions tell you to but maybe someone else can let me know how it went for them and I will give it a try. I really think if I had followed the instructions to a t that my hair would have come out beautiful and straight. No regrets, I still love the results!

This stuff gets the job done for the price. But of course how it works for you will depend on a variety of factors. Hair type/thickness/application/shampoo frequency. I have ~2a hair that is pretty thin but textured. This results in my natural air-dried hair with an under side of lose beachy waves, and a top layer of straight frizz. It can be tamed with some sea salt spray, but it’s not the most polished look. Thus, my usual routine involves an hour of blow drying, flat ironing, curling etc. to tame. But if there is humidity all that work is wasted and the frizz comes. On other days I avoid the shower like the plague as to not have to wet my hair and go through the same lengthy process again. I have gotten the Brazilian Blowout previously, which I remember being great, but I’m not in the financial position to spend $200-300 on my hair right now. Here is my review of this product:
Application: There is a reason a keratin treatment is costly at the salon. This thing takes labor! I have long hair that is relatively thin, and it took me a total 5 hours to go through the process. If you have a friend willing to help you (for free) you are very lucky. That being said, the 5 hours spent were worth the hours over the past few months that I have not spent doing my hair. I suggest wearing a respirator mask as much as you can during the process. There will be fumes when the product is burning off. You will be fine. Just don’t be stupid and inhale them.
Results: The results are immediate. My hair was pretty much pin straight. I could let my hair air dry without looking like Hermione Granger. That being said, there are pros and cons. Pro: I could air dry my hair and get ready quickly. I didn’t need to worry about humidity frizzing me out. Cons: Because my hair is thin, I lost volume and texture (obviously). It was more difficult to curl/put in a bun. You just can’t have it both ways (unless you are one of those genetic freaks with perfect hair).
Time period: How long the treatment last will depend on your own hair. Because my hair is thin, I had to wash it more than I usually do because grease would build up faster than it would with my normal texture. Washing your hair more will effect how long the product stays in your hair. I’ve also colored my hair twice since applying the product. That being said, I am over 3 months in and my hair is still fairly straight and frizz free. I would have to say that I preferred my hair the most in the 2nd month. This is when my hair started to get a bit more texture back. I could certainly air dry it, but it would also hold up a curl and style well. Over 3 months in, I am getting to a point where air drying is not an option, but a quick 10 min blow dry still makes it very straight and smooth.
Overall I will definitely plan to use this product again simply because of how much time it saves me. Also – I agree with another reviewer that planning a hair cut after use is a good idea because it tends to dry out your ends.

I like what it does to my hair…looking strait and alive. I don’t like the way it smells when I am ironing my hair with the product on it.

I did exactly as per the instructions. But no effect at all. Waste of money!
