Anyone do keratin express? Update!
What has your experience been? Also what type of hair do you have?
***********************************
Well, I got keratin express last weekend and I'm really loving it!! 
My hair stays so smooth from the time I blow dry it to the time I wash it again. I don't notice a huge difference just looking it it, but on a humid day, it doesn't puff it and looks the same as it would any other day.
I'm really happy I did it .. now just hoping it lasts at least 8wks like my hair person said it would if I use the right shampoos!!

Re: Anyone do keratin express?
no... but i'm bumping bc i would love any feedback also.
if i blowdry my hair, it gets very straight without a problem but in the summer, humidity/frizz is a huge issue for me - and if i air-dry my hair is a wavy-frizzy mess. my hair stylist recommended the keratin express for me, to fix my frizz problem... and i'm intrigued. i have to wear my hair pulled back for work every day, so sometimes, i'd much rather air dry than waste time on blow drying - especially in the dead of summer. but the frizz is just out of control
i'd love feedback from anyone who got this done... especially from girls who got it done a couple of months or more - ago. to see if you were really happy with the results overall: how long it lasted, was it worth it etc

Re: Anyone do keratin express?
I got Keratin Express done at a salon in Boston. It cost me $85, so i thought i would give it a try. I have thin hair, but a lot of it, super curly. I dry it straight everyday and usually also use a straightener. I was told that it would only last 4-6 weeks. I have to say I was very happy with it. About 1 week after i had it done, i had to go to Vietnam, where the weather was 95 degrees and extremely humid. I think that could have been the ultimate test. While I had to dry my hair everyday...it wouldnt frizz through out the day. If I wanted my hair to be curly, i still had my curls, but not the extreme frizz. I would do it again, especially since it was only $85, however it only lasted about 4 weeks.
Hope this helps.

this is the place that charges $60? and with this treatment do you still have to blow dry and/or straighten your hair or will it be straight if you let it air dry?

yes, it is $60. i had to cancel my appointment because while i knew i would not be able to wash my hair for 24 hours, i didn't realize/think that i wouldn't be able to pull my hair back in a ponytail etc for that length of time either. i had made the appt for sunday, and had work monday - and i HAVE to wear my hair up. thank goodness i did think to call and check 1st or i woulda been in deep poo after the fact.
i will be getting it done instead, the next time i have to color my hair in about a month or so and will make sure to make the appointment for when i don't have work for the next day or so!
my hair, if i let it air dry now, is just frizzy with a little wave to it - so from what i understood from my hair stylist, it would make it straight if i air dry it as well. that is my whole purpose - because i don't have curly hair, so when i blow dry it, it is perfectly straight without a problem. i will post pics after i do it, or you can call the salon if you're interested or have questions. 751-6363

Re: Anyone do keratin express?
Debating on doing it as well. It's $100 at my salon and last 4-6 weeks. I have had the full keratin (cant wash your hair for 3 days) and loved it but want to try the express since I can wash my hair the next day. I am also curious to see how girls like it.

I'm back from the salon!! 
It wasn't bad getting it done, though it had a strong smell and my eyes burned a little- so I kept them closed.
Right now my hair is VERY flat and greasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm told once I wash it (tomorrow morning) I'll love it .. soo ... I'll keep you ladies posted!!

Re: Anyone do keratin express? Update!
I got this done at Cactus last weekend-it looked great that day, and the next, but once I washed it, my hair is back to what it was. I'm so disappointed, I actually called to complain!

Re: Anyone do keratin express? Update!
i know this is an old post, but just wanted to bump it and add my experience for anyone who does a search.
i got the keratin express on friday afternoon... it was actually $80 bc of the length of my hair - ALL the way down my back.
it took about an hour & 10min... it looked pin straight after getting it done, but felt kinda icky. stiff.
i didn't wash it for 27 hours - they told me to wait 20-24hrs.
i let it air dry the 1st time after i washed it. it dryed with a slight wave to it, but bthat's probably bc i let it dry while laying down/sleeping etc. normally, if i let it air dry though it is a huge frizzy mess. even after sleeping all night, it was still presentable.
today is a humid monsoon, and i can imagine what it would look like normally, even with a blow dry and straightening iron. i blow dryed it like normal, but no straightening iron and even in prob 100% humidity and pouring rain, it is perfectly pinstraight all day long.
loving it 
now to see how long this lasts...
