Keratin is Your New Best Friend

6/1/2019

Straight hair has never been a good look for me. Truthfully, it hasn’t been a great look for many people, but no one ever told them. So people flat ironed their hair until it was super-duper straight, parted it smack down the middle and wore it behind their ears. Unfortunately, the hair fairy didn’t visit those over 18 years old trying to rock this style and so it trended way longer than it should have.

Me? I had forsaken the trend and tried my best not to look like I was queen of a 80’s hair band. Or Monica from the television show Friends . . . .when they go on vacation and her hair becomes three times the size of her head. Frizz was all I knew every summer. And I was stuck in hair limbo, until last year, when waves became “a look” on red carpets all over the world. Yea – I was going to be in style!

Needless to say, I was shocked last year when my hair stylist recommended I try a Keratin treatment. What? Surely you jest! Go super straight? On purpose? When everyone else was having fun riding waves? NO! NO! NO! I wanted to be like the cool kids! Wait, Keratin fights frizz? What rock have I been living under?

My hair stylist told me it was a misconception that Keratin would turn curly hair into a Morticia Addams look from the Addams Family. She said a Keratin treatment would battle my frizz but keep waves in my hair. I would be trendy!

I decided to trust my stylist and I booked an appointment for an express keratin treatment that would last approximately three months. An express treatment would also take much less time in the salon. On the day of the appointment, I got hit with a case of nerves. What if my hair didn’t look wavy? What if it was super straight after all was said and done?

The Keratin treatment application was pretty simple. In simplest terms, the solution was applied and we waited. Then we rinsed, dried my hair and a flat-iron was used on it. Then I waited two days to wash and style my hair. I was scared when I looked in the mirror. I could not believe that the super straight hair staring back at me would ever have a wave in it again. However, two days later . . . there it was. Waves. No frizz. I repeat . . . I had waves and the frizz was gone! It was a miracle, I say, a miracle!  Keratin  .  .  . It's your new best friend!
