Clarifying Shampoo with Brazilian Keratin Treatment and Intensive Hair Mask KIT Tratamiento de Keratina Alisado 120ml 4fl.oz

My review will have some details, so I hope you find it helpful. My hair is curly and thick, so I've always treated it and gone to the salon to maintain it. Last October, I dyed it and got a treatment for a party, and since then, I hadn't done anything else to it. Since everything has gone up in price and the treatments I get are expensive, I decided to look for another way to properly care for my hair without damaging it and without spending the same amount of time I do at the salon (5 hours). I decided to look on Amazon for different keratin treatments that were as good as the ones at the salon. I read a lot of reviews because I usually compare prices, and that way I can decide if the product is worth the advertised price. I normally spend between $80 and $150 per treatment every three months, and I wash and dry it at home since I have everything I need to style it. I found this Kerason product, and it seemed to have the same technique and process they use at the salon (the difference is that you have to straighten it, wash it again, and dry it all on the same day). So I bought it and did my hair myself, just like at the salon. I ordered the $69 treatment because my hair is shoulder-length and the product was 2 oz, but I think next time I'll buy two treatments to make sure I don't run out. (But I used a tip I read, and the 2 oz was enough for all my hair.) Since I already had to dye my hair, I did it first because the instructions say to dye it first and then do the keratin treatment. Then, another day, I washed my hair again and used the clarifying shampoo that comes with the treatment, and I blow-dried it completely. Then I started the keratin treatment, dividing my hair into four sections. (TIP) Since the bottle was 2 oz, I poured 1/4 of the keratin into a bowl and mixed it with a little water, as the product is quite thick. This allowed me to treat all of my hair, right down to the ends, and you should wear gloves until you're ready to straighten it. The product has a smell, but it's tolerable. You should wear a face mask, as it will irritate your eyes quite a bit, so you need to be in a well-ventilated area if you want to do the treatment properly. After finishing the keratin treatment, you should blow-dry your hair on the cool setting and then straighten it completely. Since my hair is quite thick and I realized I'd never finish with just the straightener, I used my blow-dryer on the high heat setting to complete the process. As I had already been drying my hair for four hours and had other things to do, I decided to leave the product in until the next day (my hands were sore from drying it so much). The next day, I washed it and used the conditioner that came with the product (I used a generous amount). I waited 5 minutes and washed it again, then slowly started blow-drying it to achieve the desired result. Finally, I straightened it and finished with some salon hairspray and hair drops, then styled it (I put on a hairnet and slept until the next day). When I woke up for a doctor's appointment, I was THRILLED with the result! I honestly didn't think I could get the same treatment at the salon for $150 and get such great results for less money—$69! In the pictures, you'll see how shiny and fresh my hair looks. The best thing about keratin treatments is that I can work out, and even if my hair sweats, it still looks great, and I don't have to wash or straighten it. I will definitely repurchase this product, and I hope my experience helps you! 💇🏻‍♀️📌

I get my hair professionally straightened twice a year, typically opting for either a Brazilian Blowout or a Keratin Treatment. My last appointment took about three hours and cost $520, including the tip (SF Bay Area prices). Recently, I lost my job, so spending that kind of money wasn’t an option. My hair was way past due and looking very rough! I was desperate, so decided to risk it and try the DIY kits despite all the warnings I heard from stylists: "Do not do it at home. You will ruin your hair!" "Your flat iron won't get hot enough." "The product isn’t strong enough." "These treatments aren’t legally sold online." "It will only last a few weeks." All not true and bad advice! I was worried my hair might break off or look fried, but I decided to go for it —and I’m so glad I did!!! My DIY hair experience is limited to a few disastrous bang cuts. I have thick blonde hair (about armpit length) with grown-out highlights. The top layer is mostly straight, but the underside is wavy and frizzy. Overall, my hair is pretty healthy. Time Commitment: The process took me about 4 hours. I have very thick hair, so 1.5 hours of that was spent blow-drying my hair; you are required to use cold air only. Fumes: The fumes were intense! No different than when at the salon but I had a cold and a sore throat, which made it worse. Once I turned on a fan and opened a window, I was fine. I highly recommend having a fan ready before starting. After-Smell: I was worried my hair would smell bad afterward, but it doesn’t have any noticeable odor. Product Usage: I purchased the smaller bottles and used all of the treatment (Step 2), 3/4 of the shampoo, and about half of the conditioner. Flat Iron Heat: My flat iron goes up to 450°F, which worked perfectly. After three passes with the iron, my hair was too hot to touch, so a thermal glove would have helped. When they mean 6-8 passes they mean it. I can tell where I only did a few passes. Supplies: You do not need a brush to apply #2. I found it much easier to put on with my fingers (wearing gloves). I also did not have a comb, which made it hard to separate into sections, and I think it would help my hands from getting burned by hot hair. Tips: Start applying the #2 on the section of hair that gives you the most issues to make sure you get that hair very saturated. Then, if you have leftover, go back and put on areas that cause you the most problems. Mine is the hair next to my neck; when I sweat, it curls up. Final Thoughts: I will not go back to the salon for this treatment ever!!! The results way exceeded my expectations! My hair is smooth, shiny, and straight—and it doesn’t look fried or damaged. The treatment has held up beautifully so far, proving the naysayers wrong. If I had known about this sooner, I could have saved so much money, and I would be planning an amazing Hawaiian Islands for the Holidays (and the humidity would not have made my hair a frizzy mess) Side note on the no job and forced to do DIY treatments: I also did the DIY eyelash perm and tint on myself. It was AMAZING. It looks so good! I will never have that done at a salon, either; next up, I might try and pull off highlighting my hair. So far 2 for 2......Look at me go!

I have tried this one and the Keratin Research. Here’s a quick comparison from my personal experience: Kerazon: Smell was WAY stronger than Keratin Research. I had read the reviews of others saying the smell was bad, but I thought, “I’ve done this before with the Keratin Research, I will be fine” but no, BELEIVE THEM. Like my eyes and nose were burning, hard to breathe, barely got through the process. At one point I got super dizzy and had to take a break. Lasted about 2 months for me. Maybe this was due to the fact that I couldn’t run the straightener through as many times because I was just trying to hurry up and finish due to the smell. But it didn’t last as long for me. It did give me sleek, soft hair, but I still had to run my straightener through a few times a week. This one is more for pin straight hair in my opinion, less for frizz. Keratin Research: Smell was far more bareable. But still present. Results lasted way longer, about 3-4 months. More for frizz reduction rather than pin straight hair, which is what I personally was looking for. It did still straighten my hair but I didn’t have to straighten it after most of my washes like I did with the Kerazon. Overall, I prefer the Keratin Research. But if you want super pin straight hair at any cost, go for Kerazon. Make sure to get like goggles and a mask if you do get Kerazon. You absolutely HAVE to be in a well ventilated or big space. My bathroom is small, I opened th window and ran a fan and still almost died lol. As far as damage, I personally did not experience that with either but everyone is different. Just don’t apply it directly to your scalp or at least a lot of it for a long period of time and you should be fine if you have relatively healthy hair/scalp.

I recently paid a lot of money to have a Brazilian blowout done in a salon. I watched her do it. And I thought that looks easy enough. So when it came time to have it done again. I just purchased this kit for 1/10 the price I paid her. The instructions were very simple and easy to follow. It does tell you to wear gloves, but does not come with gloves. Thankfully I already had plenty of gloves. I read all the previous comments and tips in the reviews.I washed my hair with the shampoo. Let it dry Naturally. , later that night I got to work. Instantly I realized how little products they’re actually is of the keratin treatment. I had read someone else with long added a bit of water to theirs because it is rather thick already., so I took a chance and I dumped the product in a bowl and added half of that bottle of water to the mix. It worked beautifully, and I had just enough to finish my hair. Now to the adventure , For the love of all things. Do not try to do this process If you have cats puppies, toddlers or anyone else you care about in your home. I started out OK. My eyes were burning a little, but that had happened at the salon too, so I was not alarmed. After all it does have formaldehyde in it. The cats quickly realized I was doing something that they needed to be involved in. They came in, the smell hit them. They started dry heaving and yelling at me, and you’re also trying to get to the product at the same time. I had no idea what kind of effect This might have on two cats, but I certainly did not want to find out. I had my gloves on ready for battle And now I’m trying to wrestle cats without getting this product on them.I’m trying to get the cats out of the bathroom but they were relentless. I end up having to shut the door and now I am locked in a hot box of formaldehyde with the cats on the other side of the door, screaming, and scratching. I had tears running down my face, mostly from the formaldehyde, but partly from my frustrations at this point, I myself was gagging and running around the bathroom. Trying to out run The stench coming off of my hair burning my eyeballs. Let me just go ahead and tell you that you cannot out run it. Most people would’ve stopped at this point But I was halfway through the process, and had a cruise coming up so I had no choice, but to march on.. I finished applying the product as it said, and then got to Work blow drying it all while tears rolling down my face. My hair is very thick and blow drying it on cold did take quite a while. Once I got it Mostly dry, The smell did simmer down a little bit, although I still had burning tears rolling down my face. Next step I powered through my burning eyes to flat iron my hair. I opted for the 390° because I do have blonde hair and that is what the instructions said to do. Then I immediately jumped in the shower, thanking the stars above, that I could still see. i’ve then blow dried it and straightened it again, and it looked as good. If not better than it did when I left the salon. This picture is a couple days later, and I have not touched it since I did it. But my hair is soft and smooth As can be. If I had it to do all over again, I would wear a snorkel mask and do it somewhere that there is not cats. Otherwise, the process went smoothly.

This keratin treatment left my hair incredibly straight, soft, and shiny. Almost a month later, it still looks the same as the first day I applied it, which honestly impressed me. The results have lasted way better than other keratin kits I’ve tried. The smell is very strong, and yes, your eyes will burn a little while applying it but that’s completely normal with keratin. Nothing unbearable, just make sure you use it in a place with good ventilation because the fumes can hit your throat sometimes. Application was actually really easy. The instructions are clear, and they come in both English and Spanish, which helps a lot. Everything about the process felt simple and straightforward. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because I had some “fake dandruff” for the first few days not real dandruff, just product residue that doesn’t look great. It went away after about a week to a week and a half, and then my hair looked perfect again. I would definitely buy this product again. For the price and the quality, it honestly works better than many salon keratins I’ve had in the past.

TLDR Version: My hair is long, thick, and 'crinkly'. This is my second time using this product and the results are awesome and long-lasting. Use in a WELL ventilated room. You won't think the product smells bad at first, and it doesn't. But then it hits you and there is no excape. If it gets really bad, so outside for a few minutes and let your space air out. I used about 3/4 of the shampoo (washed twice), the entire 4 oz bottle of treatment, and the entire bottle of hair mask. If your hair is longer than mine you may want to get two sets. Tip: Do NOT wash your hair for 3 days after the treatment and use a quality Keratin-treatment specialized shampoo when you do. Using regular shampoo immediately after the treatment will cancel all your hard work and you won't get great results. Long version: If you have hair like mine, you know it's a struggle to manage. From fly-aways to frizz to always looking like a hot mess, I understand the pain. Flat ironing helps but who has time for all that? I dreamed of being able to "wash and go". Salon options were out of reach because of cost and time, so I tried this home option without expecting much. I first used this product in March of 2022 and OMG, I had incredible results. The process took FOREVER - from blow drying my freshly washed mop to brushing on the treatment to blow drying it again using the cold setting to flat ironing every strand. My arms were jelly, my nose was runny, my eyes were tearing - but I had beautiful, straight, and flowing hair. The treatment lasted well over 9 months; after that I started to notice more and more frizz returning and my hair started to tangle more. Time to set aside a day to do it again but I did it a little smarter this time around. After washing my hair with the shampoo, which basically strips it down to a rats nest of straw, I let it air dry until it was damp but not completely dry. The first photo is what my hair looked like after the wash. I then parted my hair into 8 sections (which was difficult to do being that my hair was extremely tangled) and using gloves, dumped the treatment into a bowl and used my fingers to spread it through each section, followed by the comb to make sure each strand was covered. So much quicker! The instructions say to use a blow dryer on a cold setting to dry the hair. Um, hello? It took me a good 2 hours to get my hair dry last time. Cold air + long, thick hair = HAHAHAHA, nope. This time around I planned in advance - I let it air dry as I worked (desk job, work from home). This might not be an option for you so plan on spending half the day watching TV or whatever takes up 5-6 hours. For the flat ironing, I did it per usual. I don't have expensive flat irons; mine are 1" and 2" Remmington brands from Walmart that I've had forever. They only go up to 430 degrees so that's what I used, going over each little section multiple times. Your hair will get VERY hot and smoke a little as you flatten your hair into submission. Although the instructions say that there is no wait time before rinsing, I did wait about 15 minutes. I rinsed the treatment out of my hair and applied half the bottle of the hair mask, brushing it through with a comb. Then I applied the rest of the bottle by working it through with my fingers; wrapped my hair in a towel, and rinsed again an hour later. You can rinse it out after 5 minutes but I had a conference call and decided to wait. After rinsing, I towel dried my hair, combed it, and let it air dry again. The second photo is it fully dry - no product, no flat iron, nothing. Exactly how it looked and felt last time I used this product. Now the 3-day timer begins - the instructions don't say this but it's best to wait at least 72 hours before getting your hair wet (even sweat) or washing. Don't use any product or accessories in your hair during this time. If you are a violent sleeper like I am (tossing and turning), it's OK to flat iron your hair straight again as needed. After 3 days, wash with a shampoo specifically designed for keratin treated hair. It MUST be sulfate and salt-free (more below). Maintenance: There isn't much to maintaining the treatment other than to use quality products. I use Keratin Complex Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner that I only buy from Ulta (3rd party sellers on Amazon are known to be knockoffs). Yes, it's expensive at $48 for a 32oz bottle...each. It hurts a little when I buy them. Actually, it hurts A LOT but it's worth it. I've been using them since my last treatment and without a doubt is the reason why it lasted so long. BUT, I picked up a set of Loreal Ever Pure Moisture Shampoo/Conditioner for camping and it's every bit as good and much more affordable ($17/23oz bottle). I don't get any kind of kick back from mentioning these two brands, just personal experience. Also, be kind to your treated hair. Keep it natural as much as possible, use sulfate/salt-free products (even dry shampoos, hair spray, etc.). Nothing will strip your hair faster than salt. Limit use of heat stylers. Other than doing this treatment I haven't used my flat irons in a year. When I have needed to blow dry my hair it takes much less time and I can use the low heat setting. Hopefully this review helps if you are looking for something to try at home.

I was in need of a Keratin treatment but didn't have the $275 to spend. Did some research and found this product that had a lot of good reviews. For $40, I figured why not give it a try-- so glad I did.... Things I noticed, the initial smell of the product, smelled to me like bubblegum but wasn't overly strong. I did listen to the reviews and did it in the bathroom with the window open. The drying process like every one said took me about 1.5 hrs not including flat iron. I did find, if I blew dry using a comb and from underneath up it dried faster. It will feel thick and a little hard from the product..as I was drying I saw some areas that still looked frizzy, so I used the rest in the bottle and went over some sections..I had to stop a bunch of times because my hand was killing me. I would suggest getting a chair and sitting in front of your mirror for this part, it will definitely save your back. Be careful that you don't get the chemical applied pieces to close to your face, I did a few times and it was stinging my eyes and the chemical smell was very strong. Caution: when you start to flat iron be warned the smell of chemical is VERY strong, make sure you have a fan or window open. I started choking a little from it. Don't be alarmed if you see some smoking from the flat iron that's just the chemical reacting with the heat, this happens when I get it done at the salon.. I did feel a little light headed during this part, but I have that reaction at the salon too, queasy and light headed. So, I flat ironed a little at a time and walked out of the bathroom.. One thing you don't do is wash your hair, when you initially take the Keratin off, just RINSE, you will see the water looking a little milky, keep rinsing until the water is clear. Same goes for the condition treatment.. The picture above is after I did the process and then blew it dry.. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Do this when you have uninterrupted time. It will take a few hours. 2. Do this in a well ventilated area, window open, fan if you have one. 3. Be careful not to get near eyes or mouth. 4. Take a break if you need to, I used a water bottle and just sprayed if it started to dry too much. 5. Use a flat wide tooth comb for blowing dry. 6. If you have a hair color bowl and brush, makes applying much easier. 7. Once you apply each section, run your fingers through to make sure all strands are coated evenly. 8. Sit down when blowing dry, it's going to be a while. 9. Buy WOW serum- use on really humid days for extra protection I don't know if it's exactly the same as the salon. Time will tell once the NC heat kicks in but for the price and convenience it did a FABULOUS job, will definitely buy this again. Feel free to ask me any questions

Pros: • Can be done at home, by yourself • Saves money • Instantly smoother hair • No breakage or damage to hair Cons: • Time consuming •hair smells burnt after use • Can irritate eyes and skin • Needs to be done in a well ventilated area I'm here to reassure anyone who read the reviews and is terrified to use this product. Your eyes are not going to burn out of your head and you are not going to suffocate. Trust me. I've used this and live to tell the tale. That being said, it's not compelling non-irritating. If you have extremely sensitive eyes or nose, then yes maybe you should be concerned, but I think anyone can safely use this product. Don't be scared, just be smart. I did this in my room, with the door shut because I didn't want the fumes traveling to the rest of the house. I had the 2 windows in my room wide open and put the large window fan in my room on my vanity so it was blowing at me (so any fumes would he blown away from my face.) The worst part was blowdrying my hair after applying the keratin treatment. But I had the fan going and I kept the hairdryer pointed back and down so it was blowing my hair away from my face. There was some eye irritation but I just shut my eyes and relaxed while I dried. Honestly, the worst part was the ironing process. And not because of the smell or the burn but because my arm and hand got tired 😄 And after all the time I spent ironing my hair, it felt counter productive to wash it again, but I did and then blow dried my hair upside down with my fingers. So, don't be scared to use this, just be smart, and be prepared. Now, most importantly you need to set aside time for this. It took me every minute of 2 hours and then some to complete this and my hair is just about shoulder blade length. These bottles were enough to cover my hair, and I wasn't sure how much I should use, so I probably have enough left to do the treatment again in a few months. Next time I would splurge for the big bottles and keep it on hand. I didnt take a pre-treatment photo because I honestly didn't think this would work, so you have to trust me when I say that I have horrible hair. It's dead, frizzy, lifeless and dry as cracker juice. Photo 1 is immediately after the iron phase of the treatment. Photo 2 is after washing with the hair mask and blow drying with just my fingers. And Photo 3 is after brushing my hair. I'm happy to see that my waves are still slightly intact and it didn't completely straighten my hair. And you can't tell in the photos but it feels so smooth!!! I'm excited to see what my hair looks like the next time I wash it and let it air dry. I'm hoping I will finally be able to wash my hair and go with out having to dry and straighten it. And we are in the summer months now so we will see how it does with humidity. I'll update again in a month to give my final verdict. But for now I approve.

It's one of the best Keratin I used for hair.

This product works great!! It smells a bit but not after rinsing! It does stay straight for over 6 months to year for some clients!! You need to be patient & dry the hair on cold!! It takes a while but it works!!

Honestly Was useful but just one time.

I have naturally curly, fuzzy, unruly thin hair that if air dried is a giant frizz ball despite leave in conditioner, anti frizz products smoothing oil and whatever other crap I have in my cupboard to try to take the mess. I’ve never left my hair natural, down and been seen in public. An ounce of humidity or start sweating and it’s a write off. Has to be flat ironed daily with a ton of product and I don’t know I’ve ever made it all day without having to tie it back at some point because it starts to shrink, curl and frizz badly. I followed the steps as written. When I air dried my hair, IT WAS STRAIGHT!!! Straight!!!!! No frizz, now crazy fuzzy curl. Honestly SHOCKED!!!! by how well this worked. It’s like someone else’s hair in my head. So thrilled that I’m back the next day after trying this and bought 2 more kits for fear I won’t have this product in my arsenal. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!
