Last June I got a treatment that helped to straighten and relax my hair. It was awesome through the whole summer and took less time to dry in the morning!
I actually think the treatment lasted through December because when I look back at photos my hair still looks relaxed. (Also I still think anesthesia from my surgery helped relax my hair too!)
Well, this month I could feel the difference in my hair. When it’s humid my hair feels so thick and unruly like it will barely fit into an elastic pulled back!
It was time for another treatment so I called to book an appointment. I also needed a color and cut which usually takes two hours so I figured that I’d be at the salon for at least four hours since the keratin is labor intensive!
My salon is my happy place. Love the ladies that work there. The chemical solution has to be put on my hair section by section and at one point two of the ladies were working on my hair! : )
The only thing I worry about is after the treatment is applied then they use a flat iron at a very high temperature to finish off the straightening. I don’t use one at home and I think they are not very good for the hair. But once a year I hope isn’t too too bad!
I was at the salon for a little more than three hours. It must be a popular treatment because there were two other ladies getting keratins done while I was there!
Here are some before pictures!

And the after with straight and shiny hair!
After Keratin
I can’t wash it until Tuesday morning and it can’t get wet until then either. That’s fine because it’s a long weekend!
That means when I went outside twice today I wore a hood and had a big umbrella since it’s raining here ALL weekend. Also have resorted to wearing a Target bag over my hair when I shower! : )
Very happy!
