the Fekkai color safe isn't sulfate free? I thought most 'color safe' shampoos/conditioners are sulfate-free, since the sulfates break down color quickly, too.
I got my first BB at Fekkai Soho (when they used to do it - they've since stopped after the formaldahyde stuff became more publicized and now I think they only do one kind of straightening) and they handed me the fekkai natural line and told me none of their other shampoos/condiitoners were "safe" for the bb. A "sulfate" is the #2 ingredient on the technician color care shampoo.
I have also used with success the l'oreal sulfate-free line and my favorite, the moroccan oil shampoo/conditioner.
Gotcha. Yeah, normally with the BB I use the BB-branded line, which I have no issue with. After I got my most recent coloring done, I got the L'Oreal color lock/sulfate-free shampoo, since I was away from home and didn't bring my shampoo. I like it enough as a quick buy, but I'm slowly researching other shampoos. I really loved the samples of Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing (http://www.kiehls.com/Olive-Fruit-O...default,pd.html?start=1&cgid=hair-olive-fruit) shampoo/conditioner, especially since my head has been so dry this winter. But before I buy it, I need to make sure its sulfate-free.
I was wondering whether anyone has noticed a change in their hair texture after stopping the BB. I'm on my third one and I'm going to do a fourth soon but I'm afraid it might change my natural curls. I want to be able to go back to my old curls when I'm tired of the BB.
OK... so, playing devil's advocate here. If the BB doesn't change your texture (from coarse and dry to smooth) then what's the point? Does all it do is reduce frizz, or does it relax the curl too?
I just asked my hairdresser about the bb last week and he said it would make my hair so straight with no body and I wouldnt like it
hmmmm
hmmmm
It's like a beautiful band-aid. *While it lasts* it smoothes your hair. Removes all frizz and can loosen the curl. It took about 15 minutes off my blow dry time and completely eliminated the need for a flat iron and makes your hair shiny.
It just add keratin. Period. It's like spackle, lol! Fills in all the porosity and slowly fades away.

I definitely notice a texture change in my hair while I have the BB, but as it fades my old texture comes back - the keratin eventually stops bonding to the hair, and your old texture comes back, it doesnt permanently change anything. When I dont have BB, my hair has a natural wave, and gets super frizzy in humity. I live in a very rainy climate, and the BB has eliminated the frizz - I could stand in a downpour, dry naturally inside and still no frizz. As my last BB wore off, I started getting the frizzies again, and my wave started showing back up.
Just got my hair colored yesterday, which also fades the BB a bit - I try to only get one coloring done with each BB as to not fade it quickly.

I had mine done on Monday and love it!!
My only complaint (which isn't really a fault of the BB) is the hairdresser seriously messed up my colour, but I didn't get to see until after the BB had been applied. I was almost crying in the chair, it looked hideous. So once they rinsed the BB, I had them put a toner on to sort out the colour. They were really reluctant to do so incase it ruined the BB, but it seems OK...As this was the first time I'd had the BB, I can't tell if I would have had better results had the toner not been put on afterwards but hey ho. I've noticed you can buy the BB product, so I'm tempted to just do it myself next time.
Ladies, which sulphate free shampoo is best? I got the organic lemongrass one from label M, and my hair just doesn't seem to feel clean! Any recommendations?
