Ladies who got the Brazilian Keratin Treatment: Updates on BKT and questions
- Thread starter bravenewgirl87
- Start date
At the bottom of this link it states that color should not be done until 3 weeks after the treatment. I am assuming it would be be the same advice for a relaxer. I did remember reading/hearing that before on YouTube somewhere but I can't recall who said it.

G. Refrain from applying hair color for 3 weeks after the treatment. For best results we recommend dying hair before the treatment – best is at the same day. [/FONT]

Sure! I know I do. Also several of my products contain keratin to fill in any areas as the treatment wears off.

I actually pull it back and tie it down. And any bends, I straighten in the morning. I know some wrap their hair, also.

This is the main reason I want to try this BKT treatment! I know it would help stretchers go a long as they wanted to possibly even a few years without having to worry about breaking the bonds in the hair with a chemical relaxer. If worse comes to worse and you still wanted to relax, you would probably only have to relax about once a year!!

I wrapped my hair. Normally my wraps have bent hair in the front because I don't do them tight enough but I had no problems after the BKT. I kept it wrapped the whole time I was in the house.

I made an appointment to have my hair done Friday! 
I am so excited. Straight hair in the summer! Hooray! I am transitioning and haven't had a relaxer since Oct 07.

Question - I want to get this done because my hair is porous. I found a stylist that I like and want to get it done from, but the problem is I wear my hair curly in the summer very often (see siggy). She claimed I would still be able to do this.. But everything I have read about this treatment says that it keeps the hair straight.
Is there anyone here that is able to do a curly style still with this treatment?

Grab something to drink, some pop corn, and pull up a chair and hit "search" and "bkt" on the lhcf site. There are people like sheba1 who post pics of their hair curly after bkt and even products they used. Heck I think there might even be pics in this thread if you read through it. If not, I know there are several with posts of lovely curls. in other threads

My hair curled right back up first time i washed it. My curls are elongated but that's it. My hair is in no way straight. I think the only way to make your hair straight permanently with bkt is with continued use without letting it wear off or using it with a relaxer. Like destiny said do a search. Youtube and fotki also have pics of curly hair after bkt

Hey there, Peacelove. Because you've had a process, more than likely any BKT will make your hair bone straight.

I'm getting close to doing BKT # 3 !!
I'm a extra heavy sweater when I workout but the BKT seems to be hanging in there with me as a great solution!
Before my workout I put my hair in a high pony and tie a bandanna around my hairline. Then after I workout, I make sure my hair is smoothed into my pony tail position and then I tie a dry bandanna on while I'm showing. When I come out the shower, my hair is almost dry. I use a little hairveda gel to make sure my bangs stay down and I'm ready to go.
I'm wearing ponytails mostly these days because I'm trying to strike a balance between healthy hair and healthy body. Its working out well for me so far, so good!!

Question BKT Ladies...
Has anyone achieved very long hair thanks to the treatment?
I notice lots of thickness and some growth, but I am on the fence about the treatment - b/c my hair is already long, I am afraid of heat damage and breakage...However, I would love to enjoy extended straight styles without heat damage.
any and all feedback is appreciated - thanks

I can't say I've achieved very long hair, but I have gone from NL to grazing APL in the last year, so I can't complain. I was never able to retain like this with relaxers. I am transitioning and slowly cutting away relaxed ends and doing infrequent S&D's. My overall hair health has vastly improved, too. I pretty much air-dry to about 80 percent then do a quick blow-dry with a round brush. I only use my flat iron for BKTs .Sorry for the late reply, but HTH.

Well, here's my hair in November (1st pic), and my hair now (second pic). I am almost six months into my transition, and BKT's are really helping to keep that transition going smoothly.
