Have any of you experienced any damage or hair loss with these keratin treatments? I almost had the Kerasmooth version done, but after reading post after post from people who have lost their hair from this I was scared off. Apparently the copolla (sp?) one is one of the worst but many people have experienced it with the others also.

I used to have a lot of breakage (very highly processed hair) before the BB. I have noticed that I have virtually no breakage at all now.

That's good to hear. People should be aware of the pros/cons so hopefully everyone is doing their research. xxxxx no links to other forums

But just so you know, that link was not about the BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT brand. This thread is about BB BRAND only.

Ladies, we need to keep this thread about Brazilian Blowout BRAND only.
If you can't wash your hair, you didn't get a "Brazilian BLOWOUT" you got a Brazilian Keratin Treatment {BKT}.
It's confusing to people that look to this thread for correct info.

This is really confusing...here in the Philippines, Brazilian Blow out/ Brazilian Keratin Treatment, I was told are one and the same... I had my hair done twice before getting prego and having my locks chopped-off to a pixie-like-cut.

I've done research before heading out to the Salon (only one Salon offered this service before, there are now 2 I think at present, I could be wrong)...I was assured the BKT here didn't have formaldehyde, but still needed to wear the awful goggles/glasses.

So confusing...

I've gone through the entire thread and I'm guessing, BB is the brand for the treatment.

I've had the same experience/s as most of you did when I got mine done, they also call it Permanent blow-dry here, you can ask your stylist to create some body so that it won't fall as flat when you wash it out. Then again, it doesn't really make one's hair stick straight, it just removes he unsightly frizz. My hair still had that natural waves minus the darn frizz---hello tropical country, talk about humidity here, its the worse I tell yah.

BB, BKT, brazilian Blow out, to each their own, go for what fits your lifestyle and what you feel comfortable in. This has been a very helpful thread.

I'd prolly start a BKT thread when I go for a 3rd round when I do decide to grow out my hair again---it'll take a while. LOL.

BTW, prior to the treatment I had my hair was really unruly and coarse, I had minor split ends too, I was amazed that despite the stuff they've put in my hair, it was at its best after both treatments, no breakage split ends, hair-fall whatsoever. The only downside was the expensive sulfate free shampoo. And it costs $$$ here.

There's already BKT threads :yes: That's why I think it's so important to keep each one on topic because people seem to be confusing them. They're not the same at all - not the procedure/product/downtime.
BB is a brand for a treatment, but not for a BKT, it's a different product altogether.

Yeah, they're not the same.
BKT = formaldeyde and 3 days no washing
BB = no formaldehyde and can wash immediately after

I had the BB done saterday and wow! I will try to post pictures I took some but my camera wont sync. I have already washed it once and see a big difference. If it last the 3ish months I will do it again. Does anyone know if you can use dry shampoo? I sometimes use it to boost my roots. The salon also sold a kertain treatment you can take home and do yourself. Seems really easy but I have a chi and I dont think it gets 400plus.

i'm getting this done again . it doesn't seem to last on me but i think it is cause my hair is not damaged. i've been straightening my hair like crazy for two weeks straight hoping to damage it to make the BB last longer :P

BKT's offered here doesn't contain formaldehyde, or so they say, there isn' t downtime either, you can wash your hair the same day, but I washed my hair the day after and it lasted for 12+ weeks
anywho, this treatment is definitely God-send that's for sure, and for frizz headed mom's like us, this is a must. LOL.

I totally miss the wash and wear part of having this treatment done, you still look fresh the entire day even after a day full of running around after the kiddos. :p no need to look like you've rolled out of bed w/ the unsightly tiny hairs sticking out.

This thread is for a Brazilian Blowout which is different from the Coppola.

That being said, I just read this entire thread... :nuts:
And now I am extremely tempted to do the BB!! Except that I have about 4 bottles of shampoo and so many hair products (some given to me at my job) so I probably want to finish up all those things and recolor my hair first. Then I'll go for the BB as a reward. My goodness, I have really curly hair (not frizzy though), and I've gotten it colored about every 5 months so safe to say that the BB will help me out!!

I'm so excited for all you lovely ladies that got the BB... for those that posted pictures - great results!~ <3

Can't wait until I can schedule a BB for my own hair heehee. :yahoo:
