Why Keratin Complex Treatment?

I've been bouncing back and forth between the E'tae line and the Keratin Complex Treatment and have decided that if my consultation at Ulta tomorrow goes well, I'd prefer the Keratin Complex Treatment.

Here are my reasons:

1. I'm curious. And since I've taken the responsibility of this blog, I want to offer myself as a guinea pig to those of you who are curious as well. I also have no qualms about chopping if need be. I'll rock a fly bob with the quickness and not think twice about it.

2. It's the lesser of two evils. After debating about when and if to give myself a corrective relaxer, I decided it was safer for me to get this treatment, than to expose my hair and scalp too early to more relaxer. I over-based my scalp applying Vaseline to my new growth, therefore preventing consistent relaxer processing. When my new growth comes in, I'll be dealing with three different textures and I don't want that.

3. Easier styling for my lifestyle. I don't want to fight with the line of demarcation so the less styling time and easier manageability benefit is definitely a plus. Also having to use less product when washing should help offset the cost of this treatment if I decide to do it again. Who knows? I'm just hypothesizing at this point.

4. I honestly have not let go of transitioning. As I've mentioned several times before in recent blogs, I will definitely be a heat using transitioner/natural. I'm not a bunner or consistent protective styler. While I love my tiny kinks and coilies, I want to wear my hair straight without fear of heat. KCT infuses keratin which makes it safer to use heat. The hair is more resilient and actually brings out the treatment's best potential with safe heat use. If this works for me during my next stretch, I may keep it up...who knows.

5. It's supposed to emulate healthy hair. By fusing keratin to the hair, albeit temporarily, this is supposed to fill in the damage making each strand feel totally healthy and drastically reducing breakage. It's supposed to also improve the health and texture of the hair over time with multiple applications. Wet combing is supposed to be effortless even on natural or transitioning hair according to testimonies I've read.

So there you have it. I would have to say that these reasons all tie together and could very well lead me to attempt a very long stretch at the least. So we'll see. It all stems on what happens tomorrow.

L8rs!
