I have been thinking of getting the KeraStraight treamtment b'coz my hair stylist can't stop talking about how great it would be for my hair. I have 2c hair (I guess) and I have been suffering from hair loss for the past 2-3 months. I am currently treating my hair loss and using a special shampoo from Kerastase.
I need to be assured that KeraStraight would be safe on my hair and would not cause or react with my current treatment. When I asked my hair stylist if it was safe she didn't really give me a straight answer.
Please help me as I have booked for the KeraStraight 2 weeks from today. I really don't need my hair to get any worse. HELP

Please do not have the Kerastraight treatment done. I had this in September 2011 and am still suffering the consequences now. It did smooth my hair for about four weeks however it caused my scalp to go very itchy and sore and made me lose quite a lot of hair. The ingredients in this product are not good for you even though the product is marketed as being completely safe. Don't make the same mistake as me - I wish someone could have warned me as it is the worst thing I have ever done.

I'm happy I found this thread! I'm looking at getting this done in the near future, as I don't wanna deal with managing my hair (a whole heck of a lot) on a long vacation at the end of the month. I'm seeing a LOT of positive reviews, and I'm hoping for my 3a hair, this'll do wonders! I'm going to condition it like crazy after it, but am heeding the misadventures of some posters. Does anyone have any before and after pics to share?

I wanted to follow up.. I had the KS performed on friday- and I love the results! My hair was quick to try (and little poof simply because of how I do it, I dont use a comb and shake my head around a good deal), and the results are still blowing my mind. I deal with probably 98% less frizz- my curls are little relaxed, but the lack of frizz is astounding. I have completely virgin hair, no color or chemicals- so it took well. Its got a smell to it that I'm sure will wear away, but I'm in LOVE with this treatment. I do have lengthy hair, so it wasn't cheap, but I'll def be back in another six months for the treatment. Its altered my routine forever! So much more manageability for me!

I color my hair at home and it stripped all the color out of my hair, leaving it YELLOW. 2 toners 2 days later did nothing. I finally went to Whole Foods and got some organic hair dye, which fixed it and didn't hurt my hair. It just doesn't last long.

By the way, I LOVE the results (except for the yellow hair). My hair dries faster and is silky smooth. It's been about 2 weeks now.
