Okay, so I’ve always had this crazy curly hair, right? It’s the kind of hair that has a mind of its own. Some days it looked okay, other days, well, let’s just say I resembled a poodle that got caught in a rainstorm. I tried every product under the sun, from leave-in conditioners to serums, and they helped a bit, but nothing really tamed the beast.
Then I heard about this thing called a keratin treatment. People were saying it worked wonders for frizzy hair, so I got curious. I did some digging online and learned that it could make hair smoother and easier to manage. Sounded pretty good to me!
I found a salon nearby that did keratin treatments and booked an appointment. When I got there, the stylist washed my hair with some special shampoo to get it really clean. Then, she applied the keratin treatment to my hair, section by section. It smelled a bit funky, but nothing too bad.
- After the keratin was applied, I had to sit there with it on my hair for like 30 minutes or so. It wasn’t the most exciting part, but I just scrolled through my phone to kill time.
The Waiting Game
- Next, the stylist blow-dried my hair completely straight. This took a while because, well, I have a lot of hair!
- Then came the flat iron. She went over each small section of my hair with the flat iron to seal in the keratin. This part was a little intense because of the heat, but it didn’t hurt.
The Heat Is On
Finally, she told me not to wash my hair for a few days to let the treatment fully set. It felt weird not washing my hair for that long, but I followed her instructions. I also had to use a special sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner she recommended when I finally washed it again.
So the first time I washed my hair, I was a bit nervous. But let me tell you, when I blow-dried it, I was amazed! My hair was so much smoother and straighter than it had ever been. It used to take me forever to style my hair, but now it was a breeze. And the best part? The frizz was gone! Even when it was humid outside, my hair stayed pretty chill.
Now, I’ve been getting keratin treatments every few months, and it’s been a game-changer for me. My hair is so much more manageable, and I don’t have to spend hours fighting with it every morning. It’s definitely worth the investment if you’re struggling with frizzy, unruly curls like I was. And let me tell you, I feel so much more confident with my smooth, shiny hair!
