law chick: have you tried using a clarifying shampoo that is designed to remove build up? i wouldn't use it every time you shower but once a week or so should be enough to remove that heavy product build up feeling.

I tried a Neutrogena one years ago but not recently. Is it safe to use with the Brazilian Blowout? I washed my hair tonight and I really tried to get the first shampoo to suds but it just wouldn't. I did accidentally use too much Keihl's Argan oil a few days ago so I think that's why. The second shampoo suds up right away. I have shampoo without sodium or sulfates that has kertatin in it to try to make the effects of the BB last longer. However I was warned today by the girl working at the beauty supply store that too much keratin will make my hair brittle. Argh!

yes, too much protein/keratin will make the hair brittle and hard. Use a moisturizing conditioner or a heavy moisture mask weekly to help that.
I use Avlon KeraCare clarifier once/week, it's sulfate free.
A little too much oil from the ponytail down is okay. Try just shampooing roots. You're not trying to strip hair completely, just cleanse. Think of it like your skin . . . not too harsh.

My hair is slightly wavy, frizzy and fine. I had a BBO yesterday and was happy with the result. Today I washed my hair and air dried it...I was expecting it to be straight considering my hair type. Nope, my hair didn't dry straight its wavy but no frizz. I really want straight hair. I guess I'll try to blow-dry tomorrow and see. So sad considering I paid $350 for it.

purse collector, the BB won't make your hair straight unless you get it many times. I've had a keratin treatment (three coppola, 4 BB i think, I can't keep them straight anymore) and my hair is not perfectly straight but it is a billion times straighter than it was before the BBs. my pics are all over this thread so I won't post more haha

you paid $350 for a treatment that will make your hair soft, shiny and frizz free. it is not a straightening treatment though! it should blow dry straight and flat iron quickly, but the only time my hair has ever been PERFECTLY straight after getting it was for the first month after my last two treatments, which is because i've had so many

Yes, this is NOT the answer if you want straight hair. It usually will loosen curl, especially if you have some damage to your hair and it will fix frizz issues.

I had my hair rebonded Korean-style last year, and it left my hair really dry and somewhat thin (it was really harsh). Am looking to get this instead since I'm now scared to get rebonding again and think my scalp can't take another rebonding. Does any hair fall out after this because of the chemicals?
 
#686
Ok-so forgive me if this question has been asked already (its a super long thread LOL!) but do you ladies that have done it, find that it changed your hair; ie: like a perm changes your hair...if that makes sense? After I had my son, my hair, actually only the back (front is stick strait) is super curly and now getting frizzy...but I'm always nervous doing anything to my hair. I appreciate any help:smile1:

Do you mean like damage? It actually seems to improve hair quality.
This is like a deep protein treatment. It eliminates frizz and can soften curls a bit. It makes your hair much easier to style/dry/iron.
It's temporary - like 8 weeks temp.

I guess I was confused cuz when I googgled BB and showed me before and after pics...almost all the after pics the model's hair is straight. Anyway, after I washed my hair I decided to blow-dry it...nothing special, just random drying and voila my hair is perfect. No frizz...I guess 350 was worth it not to have frizz.

I wash my hair everyday and I can't stand not washing my hair...it this ok? I use all BB products. Also, I feel that my hair is greasier...I'm tempted to use my pantene. Has anyone has had oily hair after getting BB?

The problem w/ after pics is the same problem w/ after pics anytime we leave a salon = the stylist gets our hair perfect and smooth.
I've tried to remind people in this thread not to assume your hair will look the same after you wash it and style it youself just as anytime our hair is done at the salon they always seem to do it better.
Kwim?
