It won't take all the body out of your hair (which is great if you loathe stick-straight hair like I do), but it will make it a LOT more manageable and silky. That said, there are health risks involved (ALL of the formulations contain formaldehyde or a derivative thereof, no matter what anyone says) and it should be done with a mask and a fan in front of a window if at all possible. If you can blow dry and flat iron your hair, there is no reason at all that you can't do it at home for ~$50 or so rather than the $300 and up that most salons are asking. I've done it to myself 3 times, and will do a 4th time next month. If you go to makeupalley.com and search the boards for "BKT" you'll find pages and pages of information from ladies who do it themselves. I'd be happy to answer any questions, so just let me know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184706 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:54:27 +0000 Misia 184706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you ladies got this sorted out:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184702 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:50:13 +0000 taylor 184702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tarzy!! FAB</p> <p>April, It is a large investment for a short term solution...worth it for some, for others not so much.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184688 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:08:53 +0000 April 184688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is very helpful, Taylor. Thank you. The Mom in Red High Heels has a fairly tame curl to her hair in its natural state -- I wonder how this works on curlier hair?</p> <p>I should probably not bother investigating since I am not ever likely to be able to spend that amount of money on a hair treatment... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184679 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 00:32:42 +0000 tarzy 184679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Taylor. Very interesting! I've been hearing a lot about the Keratin treatment lately.</p> <p>Here's another really interesting post from Whoorl (who writes Hair Thursday, a pretty good resource for hair-related info.)<br /> <a href="http://www.hairthursday.com/?p=3431" rel="nofollow">http://www.hairthursday.com/?p=3431</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184647 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 23:30:24 +0000 taylor 184647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This explains things pretty well.

I've finally learned to embrace my natural curls, but would like to eliminate the frizz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184473 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:54:50 +0000 Megan 184473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi April, I'm not Taylor or Renata but have had a Global Keratin Treatment in my (wavy and frizzy) hair. This is the australian website <a href="http://www.globalkeratin.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://www.globalkeratin.com.au/</a></p> <p>It's been 4 months and my hair is just starting to become less easy to style. It's been worth it for me (cost me $250 AUD). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-taylor-renata-what-can-you-say-about-keratinizing-treatments#post-184472 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:47:22 +0000 April 184472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My new stylist recommended this to me, saying it would relax my curl some but would not totally straighten my hair, and would completely eliminate frizz.</p> <p>Just so you know, I put about as much faith in the phrase "eliminates frizz" as I do in "one size fits all." :)</p> <p>Any thoughts? My hair is mostly S-curls, with a tighter spring-coil just behind my ears. </p>
