Is this a Brazilian Keratin straightening treatment? Or is this more of a conditioner with keratin? How long does it last?

I use this as a regular conditioner with every shampoo. I love it! I will also use it as a deep conditioner every few weeks. It helps decrease frizz and smooths my style. It's not a straightening treatment, but great for using between treatments to keep things smooth.

No, This Brazilian Keratin is not an straightening treatment, It's a Conditioner with Keratin. As soon as you use it you will feel it working, I used for a while but stopped because my hair started breaking like crazy. I have never bought it again, but if you buy it make sure you look at the expiration date, I couldn't really see the expiration date on mine and perhaps it was past due & I didn't know.It smells amazing and your hair is so nice and silky. Good luck!

This is a great product for your purposes. I have a similar situation from straightening and color treatments. I would also recommend using Jojoba oil (I get mine from Trader Joe's) and use it on your hair (sparingly) to give it sheen and defrizz. I do this when styling my hair after it dries.

It is a mild shampoo and I have used it even when my Brazilian blowout treatment was grown out. The conditioner is nice, too. As for pay, it depends how much you are used to spending on shampoos. I think it is a good product and not excessively expensive. However, it is not like "Prell" or "Suave" or a high detergent type shampoo.

it is not a real keratin treatment, but more of a deep conditioner. you do not have to blow dry or straighten, however you want to style after using is fine.

Hi, honestly I used it as a conditioner after shampooing. It is to me just a simple conditioner. Nothing more. But hopes it works for you as you expect.

It is a leave in conditioner. it is great when you use the hair dryer and the hair straighteners.

No, it's a type of conditioner treatment. I just washed my hair after a week and my hair reverted back to its curls. The great thing is that my hair is still very soft, strong and the curls a looser. It's more of a 3c texture.

Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl.. I've used this treatment approximately 3 or 4 times now this past year & my hair is growing in nice & healthy. While I do enjoy the results, I must say it takes a lot to do this procedure so make sure to have time on your hands on the day that you choose. Also, I have to be honest ... Not to crazy about the smell however a friend did tell me once shortly after a treatment I smelled good ...go figure lol.

This treatment is to strengthen hair and help it repair itself, not straighten frizzy hair. Although making hair healthier and repairing it with products like Thia can result in less frizz. A keratin straightening treatment is what will smooth your hair and they generally last 4-6 weeks depending on a number of things like how often u wash, what products u use ect. U can get a keratin smoothing treatment at a salon or buy one and follow directions to do it at home.

The price is total total for both bottles. I had a Brazilian hair blowout and was treated with these products by my stylist. He recommended to use it afterwards to protect the keratin. I paid $30 per each bottle at his salon. It worked really well, but has already finished, So I was looking to continue to use the same product, but I moved out from the area and my stylist. I didn't have another choice, but to find it on the Amazon. Enjoy! It's a great product and much cheaper than to buy it at the salon.

It has the exact same ingredients as a relaxer, just diluted. If you want a looser texture, leave it in for 3 minutes after applying and do NOT comb. That will weaken/straighten the hair.

Hi, I've been using this product for over a year. I just wash my hair, rinse it, apply the Novex Brazilian Keratin on my hair and put a plastic cap on my head. If I'm not planning on going anywhere that day, I leave on my head and do whatever (i.e. housework, watch tv, read, etc.) for about an hour (longer if you want but it's up to you as to how much time you have) and then rinse it out of my hair. I either blow-dry my hair and flat-iron my hair and/or I twist my hair and let it air-dry. My hair is natural for the past 10 years and the texture has changed to the point that when I use this product, it makes my hair straighter than normal. I love this product. If you have any additional questions, feel free to email me at: motherofgradn04@yahoo.com. I hope that my comment has been helpful.

I do not have any type of keratin process on my hair. However, I use the shampoo & conditioner on my hair anyway because it helps my curly hair tremendously! My hair gets very frizzy in humidity & the product helps me SO much even though I haven't had a brazillian blowout or any other smoothing process/system done to my hair. For me, it's just a great product that works.

I'm not sure what a keratin treatment is but if it's a chemical straightener I would not recommend using the texture softener.

If you hair is burning and dry! They probably used relaxer on your hair not keratin ! You should wait couples months in order to try this product !!

Although I cannot say with complete certainty I can say after having my hair straightened with f450 products 2x that it doesn't have the horrible smell like keratin does which is caused by famaldehyde. It is a completely heat based product. I use this in addition to the shampoo and conditioner. The treatment itself sells on amazon and eBay for under $100 but very time consuming. Have to wash hair, blow, put in treatment, straighten and then wash it out and blow and straighten again. Over 2 hrs but I have very thick Brillo course hair and this stuff lasted me over 5 months. I advise using the whole product not just the hot iron part.
