Keratin Complex Treatment

Although I had never really considered this service, the recommendation resonated in my head after the Ulta Stylist recommended it to me as an alternative to a relaxer. It should be clear that this is not a straightener or relaxer. It is simply a product in which its application infuses the all too important keratin into the hair making it smoother, softer, more pliable, and "loosening" the already existing curl pattern (if applicable). The results can last anywhere from 3-5 months depending on the hair type and wash/product regimen.

What peaked my interest in this process is that my severely underprocessed hair from my "relaxer" I gave myself a week ago is just ridiculous. The problem was that I based my entire scalp with vaseline so much that the relaxer clearly didn't penetrate consistently. Apparently, I inadvertently applied vaseline to my new growth as well.

Well, a corrective relaxer this soon is out of the question. On the other hand, the inconsisencies in texture and demarcation line may pose to be a problem down the line. So, I started to do my research on the Keratin Complex.

There is little information available on the benefits of the Keratin Complex Treatment from official sources. However, the most noted benefits are easier manageability, stronger and softer hair, drastic decrease in breakage, less products needed, and the KCT doesn't contain formaldehyde, but a gentler derivative of it.

Anywho, Ulta is having a special for first time clients for $185. The normal pricing is $250. Both of these prices are comparable to buying the treatment, shampoo, and conditioner myself. I'd rather have someone else do it anyway to make sure I get maximum results. I have a consultation on Monday morning and if I like what I hear and the stylist seems competent, I'm going to go full steam ahead. But the real question is...

Why this? Why now? I'll answer that in the next post...muah!
