First: THIS WILL TAKE ANY COLOR HAIR DYE OUT OF YOUR HAIR . IF YOU HAVE COLORED HAIR, BUY THE COLOR SAFE ONE. My curl/wave pattern is a mixture of 2c wavy and 3A curly. My hair is also super dry and gets frizzy easy. If I am wearing MY HAIR straight I absolutely have to blow dry it and straighten it(and use tons of anti-frizz products. And on the days that it rains or it is humid outside my hair gets super frizzy and puffy. So living in Georgia where we have very humid summers typically during the summers I have to wear my hair pulled back, or curly with a good cast to keep it from getting puffy, bc no amount of frizz ease or moisturizing hair cream helps. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO JUST WASH MY HAIR AND LET IT AIR DRY, OR ONLY WASH AND BLOW DRY. This product has SAVED me so much time. My hair feels healthier than it has ever felt It is so soft and shiny. And I can literally wash my hair brush it and go and when it dries it is still straight and not poofy/frizzy. So far it has been about 3 weeks and my hair is still amazing! For those who said it didn't work I fully believe they did not follow the instructions and do it properly. It is a long process but if you do it properly I promise you you will achieve the results that you want. The longest part of the process is blow drying your hair after you put the treatment in. After you put the treatment in let it sit on your hair for the amount of time that it tells you which is I think like 20 minutes. After that section your hair and use a very fine tooth comb and comb your hair in sections and get the excess treatment out with the comb. Every time you comb your hair you have to use a towel to get the excess off of the comb, You want to get as much excess out of your hair as you can before you start to blow dry it ,Don't worry if you don't think you've got out enough of the excess treatment, It's fine it will just take you a little longer to blow dry it in. You want to do this in a very well ventilated area, If you don't have big ventilated areas you can do it in you can do it in a small area however I would definitely suggest taking a fan and opening a window and having the fan set up to where it sucks all of the air from inside of the room that you're in and blows it out the window. The blow drying step would be better if you had someone to help you only because depending on how thick or long your hair is it can take a while. It took me about 2 hours to get it dry (no breaks) because it has to be completely dry before you start the straightening phase. I really think people are not letting get all the way dry before they straighten it and that's probably why it's not working as well. So if you have another person that can help you I would suggest it My husband ended up coming again helping me so my arms could take a break. Also do not put anything else in your hair Do not try to put no heat protectant in or any additional conditioners. Once your hair is completely dry that's when you're going to straighten it. I put my flat iron on 450 (typically I only have it at 350 whenever I flat iron my hair) Now, This is an important step because if you do not straighten your hair properly, the treatment may not work as good. Instead of flat ironing my hair the way I normally would which is just three or four sections I actually sectioned it off to smaller sections that way I could really focus on each section. Also you're not going to hold your straightener on each section like some people do when they're straightening their hair and they hold it for a few seconds before they move it down, your going to do medium passes (not fast passes but not too slow bc if you go really slow you risk heat damage) but you're going flat iron each section, with about 10 passes so make sure you really get that treatment to work. My hair is medium thickness. The front of my hair comes down about an inch below my collarbone and the back of my hair comes down to about 2 in above my bra. I used to dye my hair a lot and I would need three boxes of dye. The amount of product that comes with one box of this treatment was plenty and I still had some left over. If you have some stubborn areas of your hair, Where you feel like the treatment didn't work as good You can always use the treatment you have left over and only put it on that one area blow dry it and Let it sit for 20 minutes and flat iron it. Instead of doing your entire head again. (It has a 6 month shelf life after open). However, If you do have long hair I would suggest buying two just to make sure you have plenty. I have fallen in love with this product so much that I have been telling everyone about it! I was not paid for my review I bought this product with my own money after doing research myself on something that will help with my poofiness and my frizz.

Didn't totally straighten my hair, but it took alot of curly out.

If you are thinking about purchasing this product don’t wait!!! I love it. I’ve used many other products but they were either so expensive or not good enough. I followed each step on the manual carefully. Additionally I kept the keratin mask over a night and ironed again then washed it. The result is amazing. My hair was damaged but now it is very shiny, very smooth and straight. My sister used the mask without prewash shampoo and the result is the same. Definetly recommended!

I'm so sad I didn't get a before/after picture because BABES this stuff is for real!! Long story short I've been fighting frizzy, damaged hair and couldn't afford the salon treatment above my already expensive color-treated hair so I gave this a shot after seeing some of the great reviews and guys, THEY DO NOT LIE!! Let's start with the cons (there are a few, but well worth bearing through): -This process is time consuming if done right, and requires following the included directions closely - avoid using the ones found on the side of the box as there is more to it. The whole process took me about 2 hours to complete. I have coarse, mixed curly + wavy + frizzy, long, but thin hair and didn't even use all of the activator to fully cover my strands. (That last part was more of a pro for me!) -It is messy and smelly when blow drying!! I expected the mess (similar to dying my hair at home, but creme is a bit thicker) however the smell was strong in my tiny bathroom so I kept fans on and gave myself breathing breaks when needed. -Definitely avoid the activator touching your skin because it did burn. A bit more so than when I dye my hair and I get itchy. This stuff was no joke on the skin so keep it clean. I suggest a towel on the back of your neck. -Having to blowdry my hair with this stuff on was craaazy. I thought I would never get it dry enough to use the straightener but trust that you will because heat is crucial for this to work to its best so take the time. I believe this will also help it last longer too, so totally worth it. The Pro's: -I'm soo glad I took the time to use heat on my hair as much as possible (with blow drying + straightening multiple times over) because I feel that was the key to getting this awesome miracle to kick in. When I mean straightening, I mean going over strands more times than I normally would and at a higher temp. -After the final hair wash, I used only a blow dryer and HOLY COW - it straightened so much faster and with 90% less frizz (if not more?!) than normal. I debated letting it air dry but heard that it helps to continue to use heat on your hair a few days after. It truly is a night and day difference but am super curious to see how well this works once I discontinue blow drying. -My hair feels super soft and there is a shine and slickness to is that would usually take me more time to acquire. My god have I mentioned how amazing this made my hair look??? I can't stop touching it! So to close out this review, If you are tempted to get this, DO IT and DO IT RIGHT!! You won't be sorry and have that much more money in your wallet. I'm certain I will be buying more of this stuff in the future.
