Alright, let’s talk about this hair stuff, this…keratin…blowout. I heard the young folks talkin’ about it, and I figured, why not? My hair’s been a mess ever since…well, forever. Always frizzy, like a chicken just got done peckin’ at it. So, I went and got it done, and let me tell you, it’s been a whole different story before and after.
Before the Keratin Blowout
Before, oh honey, before was a nightmare. My hair? Think scarecrow after a tornado. It was dry, you know, like hay in the sun. And puffy! Like a dandelion gone to seed. I couldn’t do nothin’ with it. Combing was a chore, a real battle. And styling? Forget about it. I’d try to curl it, and it’d just frizz up more. Straighten it? It’d be flat for five minutes, then poof! Back to the crazy mess. I used all sorts of stuff, you know, the creams and the sprays they sell at the store, but nothin’ really worked. It was just…a pain. Every mornin’, I’d look in the mirror and sigh. Just a big, unruly mess starin’ back at me. I even tried some of them home remedies, you know, like eggs and mayonnaise. Don’t do it! Just made my hair smell like a bad salad.
- Dry hair, like hay
- Frizzy and puffy, like a dandelion
- Hard to comb and style
- Tried lots of store-bought products, no luck
- Home remedies didn’t work
During the Keratin Blowout Treatment
Now, the treatment itself, that was somethin’. I went to this salon, nice place, smelled like flowers and chemicals. The lady there, she was real nice, explained everything to me. Said it would make my hair smooth and shiny. Sounded good to me! First, she washed my hair, real good. Then she put some stuff on it, smelled kinda strong. She said that was the keratin, the magic stuff. Then she blew it dry and used this flat iron thing, hot as a stove, went over each piece of hair real slow. It took a while, but I just sat there and let her do her thing. She kept tellin’ me to sit still, not to touch my hair. It felt kinda stiff and sticky while she was doin’ it, but she said that was normal.
After the Keratin Blowout
And then…after. Oh my. It was like a miracle! My hair…it was smooth! Like silk, you know? And shiny, like a new penny. I couldn’t stop touchin’ it. It felt so soft and healthy. And the best part? No frizz! None! It just…laid flat, all nice and neat. Combing was easy, like a knife through butter. And styling? A breeze! I could curl it, and it stayed curled. I could straighten it, and it stayed straight. It was like I had a whole new head of hair! Even after I washed it a few times, it still looked good. Not as perfect as the first day, but still way better than before. I ain’t had to use so much of that hairspray and gel and all that junk. Just wash it and go, most days. Saves me a lot of time in the mornin’, that’s for sure.
Keeping Up with the Keratin Blowout
Now, the lady at the salon, she told me I had to take care of it, you know, to make it last. She said to use special shampoo and conditioner, without all them harsh chemicals. And not to wash it too often, maybe twice a week. And to try not to use too much heat on it, like the flat iron. I been tryin’ to do what she said, ‘cause I don’t wanna go back to that old mess. It’s been a few weeks now, and it’s still lookin’ pretty good. I figure I’ll go back and get it done again when it starts gettin’ frizzy. It’s worth the money, I reckon. Makes me feel…well, it makes me feel pretty, you know? And that ain’t somethin’ I feel every day.
Final Thoughts
So, this keratin blowout thing…it’s the real deal. If you got hair like mine was, all frizzy and unmanageable, you should give it a try. It ain’t cheap, but it’s worth it. You’ll go from lookin’ like a scarecrow to lookin’ like…well, like somebody who takes care of themselves. And that’s a good feelin’ no matter how old you are.
Taking care of your hair after you get the keratin done is real important. You gotta use the right shampoos and conditioners, the ones without all that sulfate stuff. And don’t go washin’ your hair every day, that’ll just strip the keratin right out. A couple times a week is plenty. And try to let your hair air dry when you can, or use a low heat setting on your dryer. Too much heat ain’t good for it.
I tell you what, this whole thing has made my life a little bit easier, and a little bit prettier. And what more can an old gal ask for?
