talk to me about keratin straightening....

I'm considering it for the fall but not 100% sure its for me.

My hair tends to be frizzy at times but honestly my one reasoning for considering is I don't have.time to do my hair with.2 little ones so its ponytails daily.

I wash my hair daily bc its oily & I've.heard you can't with keratin....

Keratin will make you hair smoother. Cannot guaranty that you will not have to dry your hair. I still had to dry it but it did nto take as long and I usually did not have to use my straightening iron.

You can wash your hair everyday. You must use the Keratin friendly shampoo and stay out of salt water if you want to prolong the life of it.

It does not last that long. They say 3 months but each person is different and Mine was great for a month and then slowly went back to normal.

I only get it done in the summer since my hair is not as frizzy during the winter.

Same. I did Keratin Express last summer. I didn't do it this year, although I meant to..... I've just been so busy and before I knew it, it was August. I figured I'd save my money and deal with the frizz for the last month of summer.

you'll still have to dry your hair, but maybe not flat iron it. does your hair frizz in the fall? i did the keratin for summer, but i'm letting it grow out for the other seasons. i do love it tho.

If you are going to do it... wait until the end of Sept- Oct to do it. Hair gets destroyed in the summer (sweat, salt water, sun.. etc)

It's a godsend for me! It cuts down my drying time greatly!!!! (I take 5-10 minutes to dry as opposed to 30+ minutes)

I use the Coppola products to prolong the treatment and I just started using the Coppola Infusion treatment to see if that makes a difference.

it really cuts down on the time you need to style your hair in the morning!

you CAN wash it everyday - but then the stuff washes out quicker which is why they may recommend not to wash it everyday.

I LOVE it. My hair girl reccs not doing it right now b/c I have a 12month old and I carry her so her face would always be around the "chemical". I have done it 4 times so far and I think it made my hair less frizzy than it used to be and I haven't gotten it done in over a year.

Re: talk to me about keratin straightening....

Cuts down on my drying time and I literally go quickly over hair with flat iron as opposed to having to do sections, like I did before. I don't wash everyday anymore...I did before keratin but realy wanted it to last through the summer, so now I use dry shampoo every other day...I love it.
