Clarifying Shampoo with Brazilian Keratin Treatment and Intensive Hair Mask KIT Tratamiento de Keratina Alisado 120ml. Packaging may vary.

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.

Ladies 👀👀, it works for us too. *Long post Alert* I gave it a four star rating because the instructions do not make it clear how strong the treatment smells, it advises gloves but not a well ventilated area. Picture one and two is my hair in its natural state Picture three is after my hair was washed with the shampoo, dried and the treatment put in and flat iron. *my hair felt like velcro, so I was nervous* Picture four is my hair after the treatment was washed out. Also the most straight ive seen it after washing it. Picture five is after the hair mask was put on and washed out and I used a blow dryer brush to dry my hair. I didnt flat iron it again. I am hoping it last six months, I will update this post 😊

I buy no less than 37,284 items from Amazon each year, but this is one of the very few products worth a solid review, and a RAVE review at that. I have had curly hair my entire life and could only bear to "embrace it" for very short spurts that were long and far in between. I'm 35 and still struggled with my hair, but these days with a lot less free time because I work long hours (Helloooo, pandemic!). In the course of my life I have tried chemical relaxers and thermal reconditioning several times with very poor results and caused immense damage to my hair. I've made endless attempts to get silky smooth results that don't revert the second I walk out into humidity or come in contact with a fragment of a single raindrop. Every serum, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, spray, lotion, and tool (expensive blow dryers, Instyler, Revlon Volumizer, brushes with straightening plates that heat up when you blow dry).. I finally started researching Keratin treatments and wanted to book an appointment before going on a much needed vacation, but cringed at spending over $200 for something that would also likely fail me. Behold, Amazon search! I debated back and forth between a few products and ultimately settled on this Kerazon treatment set based on reviews and the fact that my hair is longer and I needed a set with a large bottle of treatment.. Less than a $70 investment that I can work around my schedule, why not? I washed my hair thoroughly with the clarifying shampoo provided and dried it 60% before I had to pull it back and go run some errands I was juggling that day. When I came back, my hair was pretty much completely dry. I used several pairs of gloves (changed them as needed), and just dipped my hand into a bowl of the treatment to apply and comb through rather than a coloring brush. I was expecting a perm smell, but it was more like a subtle bubblegum-ish (?) scent that burned my eyes like ammonia, so I opted to take a full length mirror out on my deck once I was finished saturating my hair and used my blow dryer on the cool setting to dry it again. I really saturated my hair, and my hair is long, so this took quite a bit of time, definitely over an hour.. But since the treatment is heat activated, the patience you have during this step will pay off (do NOT use warm or hot air). Once I finished drying, I made it a point to work in very small sections starting at the bottom and made 5-7 passes with my flat iron on at least 450 degrees, combing through before and after. This also took a bit of time, but I didn’t want to carelessly rush through it and be stuck with inconsistent results. (If possible, get a mini flat iron to get the shorter pieces of hair around your face without burning yourself). After I was finished, I was admittedly nervous to go to the next steps since water is usually an enemy after most treatments. I used lukewarm water to rinse my hair (NO shampoo!) and applied the deep conditioner as instructed, rinsed after five minutes and said a prayer as I gently wrung my hair out with a towel. It felt smoother and looked straighter when wet.. I had accepted that even if it maintained half of its smoothness it would be worth it. I took a blow dryer to my hair on medium heat, and when it was dry: it was perfect. Shiny, smooth, straight. It took me 20 minutes to finish my hair when it normally takes me an hour to dry and flat iron. I’ve washed my hair several times over the past two months (usually 3-4 times max per week) and I keep waiting for it to be frizzy and unmanageable again, but I am so in love. I will 100000% do this every 3-4 months or however often I need to in order to maintain this time-saving miracle. Picture on the left was a super rare occasion that I let it go curly (probably two years prior), picture on the right was a month post-treatment, after ONLY blowing it dry.

This product is worth every penny. My life has seriously changed after using this in my hair. I’m tempted to buy several more orders just in case it gets discontinued or sells out or Amazon crashes, because I don’t think I could go without it. I’ve hated my hair for YEARS. I’ve tried so many different products. My hair is part curly, wavy, and straight. It is also very thick in texture and volume. I also live in a very humid climate, so there are so many things going against me. Honestly, my hair would prevent me from doing normal things (exercise, swimming, etc) because I hated the idea of needing to spend more time drying and styling it. Now, I do all of those things and don’t spent more than a minute on my hair after. I wanted to go all out and make sure I didn’t run out of product when I tried this (see other reviews that ran out and mixed with water). So I bought two of the 4oz products. Anytime I go to the salon, they need “extra product” because of my hair thickness. With this product I only needed the 4oz and it was plenty!! So I’m saving the extra one for later. Now it does give off strong smells when you’re heating it with the flat iron, so a well ventilated area is a must. I showered with the step 1 shampoo. Then I air dried my hair. I applied the second step on my back patio with a fan pointed at me to keep fumes away - this was a GAME CHANGER and it helped dry my hair quicker too. I had a show on the TV since I read it could be a long process. Honestly it took me about 3 hours from the shower to being completely done, but I wasn’t rushing through it and casually watched TV and paused to eat lunch and it seemed to go by quick. I didn’t wash my hair for 24 hours after despite it saying you can wash right away. Now my hair is so soft!! I have a little bit of a wave, but it is so pretty and I don’t feel that I need to style it at all out of the shower or pool. 10/10 recommend this. It will change your life. UPDATE- I did purchase the largest option available when it came on sale. I did notice the results faded at about 1.5-2 months after using it, but I have been doing a lot of pool time and figured the chlorine probably has something to do with that. I uploaded a photo that shows my natural hair air dried and my treated hair air dried!! No styling needed. Just washed, brushed, air dry. This stuff is amazing.

This stuff is amazing!! My hair is so silky soft and I love it!! So easy, a little funy so put your vent on or move out of the bathroom to get air and then finish but you will love your hair! I haven’t even done my hair this morning yet and it’s silky soft
