Gold Label Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment Straightening works on All Hair Types Incl Coarse Thick Dry Frizzy Curly Bleached Dominican Brazilian Indian Strong formula Hair 240ml

I have 4b shoulder-length hair, that is very curly/coily, but fine. Because I could not find a hair care professional in my area who is comfortable using keratin on African-American hair, I thought about applying it myself. In addition, professionals charge $200 to $300 or more in New York City to do this treatment, so I didn't want to waste money and get bad results or hair damage. After researching various keratin products, I decided to go with Keratin Research's Gold Label because the manufacturer seems to put some real thought behind what they are selling. I was pleased that as soon as I ordered the product, I received an email from the manufacturer with links to their videos and instructions. I really appreciated that. After I washed my hair with clarifying shampoo, I blow dried it on a medium temperature, just to make the keratin application more uniform for each strand. The detangling and blow drying were really the longest, most arduous steps, especially because my hair is so coiled. I applied the product as instructed. Applying it was not difficult; you just need to take your time and ensure that you fully cover each section of hair, all the way to the ends. I forgot to let it sit for 30 minutes, but since it took more than that for this application step, I'm pretty sure the 30 minutes was not a problem. I blow dried again, and then flat ironed in small sections. The flat-iron was set at 410 degrees and I did 5 passes on each small section of hair. For the front of my head which is more like 3b hair (loose spirals), I did 410 degrees, but only 3 passes on each section of hair. I was so nervous about the formaldehyde that I had a fan blowing, and was ready with a face mask! Much to my surprise, I hardly smelled anything; just a whiff once in a while. I was starting to wonder whether I had used enough product, because I had prepared for much worse! I had no eye irritation or itching/burning/etc. The ironing left my hair feeling slightly waxy, like each strand was coated. But it was definitely smooth. Over the next 3 days, I made sure not to get my hair wet, pin it up or use hair bands. It had a slightly dull sheen and felt dry, but not brittle. The company suggests flat-ironing it each of the three days, at 360 degrees. That had me worried because I do not apply heat so often to my hair. But from the listed ingredients, it seems that the Gold Label contains several oils (Argan, Grape, Avocado and Jojoba seed) to protect against the heat. So I did flat iron it each day. I did not see an breakage or hair loss. At night I wore a silk or satin hair cover. The real test was when I washed out the treatment using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. My hair became really coiled. But when I flat-ironed it at 360 degrees (after applying a thermal protectant), it became perfectly smooth. Despite some very hot and humid days, my hair has remained frizz-free, and I have not had to flat iron it, unless I wash it. I went out dancing last night and my head got sweaty, but again, my hair remained straight and there was no frizz! For once, I did not have to resort to the hair ties, pony tail holders, etc. I definitely intend to use this product again.

Okay this is going to be long but here we go. I just washed my hair last night and I was amazed by the results. I have natural 4a/b/c hair and it's never been easy to manage. Usually wash day is full of detangling, washing in sections, clipping parts out of the way, none of that. I could shampoo my ENTIRE HEAD without sections and without tangling. Below is my advice on the process. I'll put before and after pictures too. -Putting in the Treatment) it took me about 5-6 hours (by myself) to wash my hair and do the entire process. I would suggest doing a deep condition the day before because I didn't and my hair was DRY after clarifying and blow drying. Dry enough to cause a small amount of breakage. My hair is very healthy and quite thick but if you have damaged hair, you will loose a lot of strands because this process will be traumatic for your hair. You will NEED a face mask and gloves for the application. The product has like a pleasant sweet honey smell but the formaldehyde does make it potent. There were times where I was almost about to pass out but thanks to the reviews here I did this process OUTSIDE. My eyes were still burning at times but not as bad. You may want to even get goggles, I had my glasses on. Lol. I looked crazy. When you apply the Treatment itself it will moisturize your hair a little which will help the dryness until you flat iron it. Do NOT flat iron your hair 7 times like it says, that will destroy it. I did about 3 on 450. Do tiny sections. After flat ironing the formaldehyde smell goes away thankfully. Day 1-3) my hair was EXTREMELY dry until like the end of the second day, where my sebum kicked in and started to coat my hair. I slept with a silk cap on and it really helped keep it soft and smooth and limit any breakage from dryness. Be very gentle and don't do excessive combing or flat iron it because it's still quite dry and prone to breakage. Wash out & Results ) before washing I did a coconut oil hot oil treatment on the dry hair and sat under heat for 30 mins. I washed with a neutralizing shampoo because I wanted to make sure the PH was in balance. When I washed my hair out, I was amazed. My hair was soooo soft and manageable. I stopped halfway through the wash to look in the mirror and saw my type 4 hair changed into TYPE 3 YOU GUYS. It was amazing. I did see some heat damage on one section, but I'm not sure if it's because I went over it too many times or if there is too much keratin on that part, I will find out in the upcoming months and update this. The hair is amazing and even my boyfriend was astounded at the change. I immediately dc'd for an hour to prevent dryness breakage and will be doing some low manipulation/ protective styles (to make up for some of the trauma it went through for these few days). But this treatment is a keeper. Your hair changes for the better, it is so smooth, soft, and manageable. If you have problems like I did with just combing your hair, I highly recommend this solution.

I’ve tried several keratin treatments, and this one has been the most effective for my fine, blonde, and bleach-damaged hair. It’s not a miracle cure, but it definitely delivers a silky, smooth feeling that makes my hair look and feel much healthier. What I ❤️ • Creates a noticeable silky finish right after use • Helps me tame my frizzy and damaged hair from bleaching • Can use as a deep hair mask (still gives great results that way) • Lasts longer and works better than similar products I’ve tried What I 💔 • It’s a lot of work: you have to wait, then blow dry, then straighten — it’s hard • Results only last about 5–6 washes before fading • The smell is very strong — a mix of coconut and burned wheel that smells inorganically chemical. Bottom line🙂 If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, this is one of the best keratin treatments on the market. It won’t permanently fix damaged hair, but it gives me the silky, smooth finish I can’t get from regular conditioners or masks. I’ll keep using it, especially when my hair needs an extra boost after bleaching.

This product is a game changer if you have curly frizzy hair. My hair went from 3c to 3a with minimal frizz and maintenance. Have someone help you with this treatment and do it in a well ventilated area. My eyes and throat BURNED!! Next time I purchase this I will be getting a proper face mask that protects you from the formaldehyde. My ends have a plum color and the treatment did not change the color. I did notice I got lots of dandruff for 6 weeks post treatment, I think the product was flaking off my scalp (oiling your scalp helps with the flakes). I will plan to re-purchase this again, it is way cheaper compared to doing it at a salon which can cost > $300 CAD in Toronto and saves me so much time detangling my hair.

Awesome product..my hair looks wonderful and naturally straight.

After more than four years of professional use on bleached, coloured, and virgin hair alike this keratin treatment has never failed to impress. The results are consistently smooth, glossy, and natural-looking, without any heaviness or damage. Even after over a decade of experience in hair care, it remains one of the most reliable products I have used. Elegant, effective, and utterly dependable it is, quite simply, keratin at its finest.
