what brazilian brand did you get?
Its a brand called "douar!" it seems to be a really new product, it doesnt even have a website. it was cheap and formaldehyde free so i said why not!
if anyone wants to share some bkt pm me.
what brazilian brand did you get?
Napp how did you hear about 'douar!' ? And is it cysteine based?
Technically, the product is in the category of "keratin shock" because it contains no formaldehyde.
In frizzy hair relaxes the hair fiber and 70% in the first application, giving a softer effect in the afternoon.
In slightly wavy hair frizz or have much, it is remarkable the difference, as the hair will look with great naturally without artificial boards that produce other chemical treatments.
Heavily stained or chemistry, the result is better, as these are in the open cuticle, which facilitates optimal penetration.
These hairs are guaranteed a 80% satisfactory results in the first application.
If you search for a product without formaldehyde, these are the actual results they get.
The product contains white clay, shea butter, keratin and silicone emulsions that promote relaxation of the hair fiber, similar to that which occurs when the hair is wet.
At this time the product has no website

I haven't done keratin since last August (due to damage from hair bleach) but now that my hair is back healthy I'm about to go back to keratin. Qod Organiq is still my fav go to product!
Dove56 Do you do anything to prep your hair the week or days before using QOD?
I have a few other questions I'm hoping someone can answer:
- How has your regimen changed after/because of bkt?
- Is 2oz enough? They're selling 2oz keratin shot & 2oz shampoo for $45.
- After getting a bkt, can I still use my steamer, DC, and sulfur mix?
- I'm plagued with SSKs. Should I trim my hair before or after I do the bkt?
- Is there an approved shampoo, conditioner, leave-in list anywhere? (I know no sulfates and salts, but I don't know how some are listed in ingredients lists)
Napp thanks, I'm really curious as to how you hair will turn out. Right now I'm doing research in preparation for using a non-formaldahyde treatment in the winter...if I can last that long with wigs and buns. we'll see, I'm transitioning so who knows how I'll feel 2 months from now. I do know that once I'm ready to put the wigs away I'll be taking the plunge with a treatment.
Qualitee I redid their hair for back to school a couple of weeks ago. They air dry and wear it curly most of the time and they have no heat damage on the ends.
grenadiancooliex3 No loss in volume. Their hair is still very thick and full while retaining all the length. I think the key is very little heat by air drying and not flat ironing.
I did my daughter's Keratin Treatment using the new QOD MAX OrganiQ Treatment. It is formaldehyde free and you can wash it out the same day.
I ordered mine from www.Keratin4U.com
The liter bottle was about $200 - pricey but much cheaper than what it costs in the salon for her length of hair. The expiration date is 2/2013 so I can use it for the next 18 months on both daughters as well as on myself .
I shampooed beforehand with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Formula Shampoo and air dried
I applied the QOD MAX to her dry hair and combed it through. It sat on her hair for 15 minutes
Then I blowdried and flat ironed 2 passes @400 degrees.
After 30 minutes, I shampooed with Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo and Conditioned with the matching conditioner.
I air dried again and blow dried it. It was bone straight without needing any flat iron.
It is supposed to last for 4 months but I am very pleased with the results.
This is so fascinating
Wonder how it is as a transitioning or stretching tool

Thanks! I wonder if I can find a salon that does it.
I wouldn't be confident enough to do it myself.
How far along are you in your transition? What type of hair do you have?
