Keratin Research Forte Brazilian Hair Blowout Treatment Extra Strength 120ml.

Just wonderful I wanted everyone to know.

Very nice

I'm amazed at this product and disappointed I didn't find it sooner. I am half asian half caucasion and have naturally 2A/2B frizzy hair. My hair is dyed brown from black, so the damage makes it course and frizzy as well. I followed the salon directions to a T and I now have stick straight, silky, healthy, and bouncy hair that dries in half the time as it did before. The only thing I did differently than what the directions said was substitute the shampoo and conditioner for a sulfate and sodium chloride free set by PUREnature. I had a Brazillian blowout once, when I was in my early 20's and this gave a much nicer result for way cheaper. TIPS: Application- I applied using a brush and sections and used gloves. The next time I do it, I will apply less product. I used about 1/3 of the 120 mL bottle and the hair only needs to be combed through with enough product. There should not be product dripping off the ends. My hair is also 20" so a little goes a long way. Fumes- They are seriously strong and made my eyes water. Like others, I used the vent fan in my bathroom and kept my apartment windows/balcony door open. If you plan on doing this it might be wise to purchase a pair of safety goggles. Drying - I used my Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer and could not imagine doing it again without it. It help speed up the drying process while keeping the hair detangled. Straightening- I recommed using a good quality straightener that heats evenly to the desired temperature mentioned in the instructions. I had to borrow one from my mom and will be looking into getting a better one down the road because it didn't clamp or heat evenly so it made it difficult to get all of the fumes out. I straightened my hair for 3 hours after drying, using very thin (almost see through) sections. I also applied a heat protectant and let it sit 10 minutes beforehand because it started smelling like burnt hair and I saw tutorials on youtube where they used a heat protectant. I also took the opportunity to apply jojoba oil on the ends and have that heated into the follicle as well (jojoba is most similar to the molecule size of natural hair oil). After most of the fumes/product was out of my hair (you can feel the difference where there is product that still needs straightened out), I kept it in for the recommended 72 hours, straightening when I didn't have anything else to do at home. When I do this again, I will definitely avoid placing product directly on the scalp because you can feel it and it is not fun to sit with for 3 whole days. TLDR; this stuff works if you follow the directions well. Great investment for the price and avoiding the hassel of styling/drying hair. Going to save a bunch of time=money for the next 5 months. For $55 (including the shampoo and conditioner I purchased separately) completely worth it! Very satisfied.

I've tried every keratin treatment out there. I've even flown to the US just to have the Brazilian Blowout. I asked my hair stylist to apply and flat iron. It cost me a fraction of what a BB would cost and the results are exactly what I'd hoped for. My hair is shiny, soft and frizz free. I can air dry and get a beautiful beach wave look or blow dry for a straighter style. My bangs require just one quick swipe with a flat iron and they look amazing. I can even curl my hair when I want and the curls are bouncy and healthy looking. I simply love this product. It does have a strong smell, more so upon application than flat ironing, but using common sense and opening a window makes it less problematic. For best results, I highly recommend having your stylist apply and flat iron. For those of us in Canada who don't have access to the Original BB, this product is a game changer.

I have been using Keratin Research treatments every 4-6 months for the past two years and was very happy with the results. I never thought I would find anything better, but decided to take a chance with the Keratin Forte Plus. It was the best decision I could have made because the results were beyond my expectations. The application process is the same, with the difference that I left it on for 3 days, instead of just overnight. Yes, the smell is stronger and had to stand in front of a box fan to help avoid the fumes while passing the flat iron (which I usually complete in 1 to 1.5 hours because I have lots of hair and very long). However, after washing my hair the 3rd day I noticed my hair is now very straight without having to use a blow dryer or hair straightener. My hair is naturally wavy (not curly), but gets very frizzy in humid areas, black with blonde highlights and the treatment did not cause any damage; quite contrary it now feels very soft. I suggest purchasing the small bottle and not the large (even if it saves you money). For some reason, once it is opened and use the remaining product for a 2nd or 3rd treatment, the results are not as good. It is best to use the small bottle, once. The 120 ml was enough for one treatment on my 20 inch long hair. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has the patience to apply the treatment at home and flat iron their hair in small sections. It is definitely worth it and saves you paying hundreds of dollars at the salons!!! Best of luck and I am happy to answer any questions.

I am a Brazilian living in Canada and I think the straightening treatments with Brazillian products here are very expensive. I was looking for a product that would give me good results for a good price. So I bought this one and it is pretty good. I got my hairdresser to apply it for me and the total cost was less than half of what I would pay for a straightening treatment around my area (and the hairdresser used only 1/3 of the bottle, so I can apply this product another 2 times, I have shoulder length hair). It did a fantastic job, my hair was straight and smooth for a couple of months and right now it is becoming curly again but still good and easy to blow dry and style. Much easier than it was before I tried this product. It will help me to tame my hair until I get back home and do the real treatment.

Did work for the first day or two. I bought a probane and sulfate free shampoo after a few shower my hair back to what it was before. I guess it only works on some people. Wanted to return it but had used it so I didnt have the box for rerurn. Was very disappointed.
