My Keratin Disappointment

Ok so you have heard me rave about the Coppola Keratin (Keratin Complex), I have done it a few times BUT my last experience was not so great! I have done nothing different to my hair at all, no protein treatments, still using sulfate free shampoo even when the Keratin was no longer in my hair as I learned sulfate free is much better anyway and I got used to it. I got a great deal (should have been my first sign maybe) at a new salon to me which seemed great, The Salon is nice I have done a facial there and was satisfied and the people are nice so I was not worried. So let me get to the point, I got a keratin treatment which looking back I should have focused more on the treatment because I think there were a few things that may have caused my keratin to go badly! First thing I noticed was I didn’t think my hair was COMPLETELY Dry before she added the Keratin but I didn’t touch it but just knowing how long my hair takes to dry I had a feeling but of course at the time I wasn’t worried because the three times before my Keratin always came out fine. So I completed the Keratin, it looked great leaving the salon and I gave a generous tip as always.


So I waited the FULL three days and a few extra hours just to be sure and then washed it out and right away I noticed it was taking a really long time to dry!! All my other keratins would make my hair dry at least 50% quicker then normally so I knew it was not going to be good! I was even using the Coppola Shampoo and Conditioner so it wasn’t that. My hair looked like nothing had been done to it! I was so disappointed and debated whether I would call the salon or not but I did because I still paid a lot of money for it even with the deal I got. The salon told me to come in I showed them my hair and they agreed it didn’t come out right. They asked about shampoos, time I left it in etc and I told them I have done it a few times so I know the deal and did everything correct. My hairdresser did a deep treatment which was nice (free of charge), supposedly it will seal my hair to accept the keratin. I now will wait two months to do it again because even though it didn’t come out I don’t want to risk putting my hair through another process for at least a couple months. They mentioned they think my hair may have become immune to the treatment but I wasn’t buying it. PLUS the icing on the cake my friend got the same “Deal” and went and got hers done and SAME RESULT!!! It didn’t work on her either!!! They swear all their other clients are happy but it just seems like a coincidence that both myself and a friend had the same result! So the moral of the story is watch your hair dresser do the treatment! Make Sure your hair is 110% dry before any treatment is put on and make sure they use enough treatment as well, I confirmed they are using the right product but I am wondering where they purchase it. I will keep you all updated on my “redo” I really don’t want to waste another three days of my life and have it not work!

My Fourth Keratin Complex Treatment

I am going for my 4th Keratin Complex Treatment on Saturday! New Salon so I am hoping its a great experience. I tried to go without the Keratin for the Winter but I can't! Its that good I love it! If you haven't read my experience about Keratin you can read it here. I'll let you guys know how it goes!!

Keratin Complex Express Blowout and New Curl Keratin!

As you know from past posts I LOVE Keratin Complex!!! Read my previous post to find out more! I have NO affiliation with Keratin Complex whatsoever, wish I did because I tell everyone I know about it! I am writing this post to let you know of a newer treatment for those of you who have been wanting to try Keratin Complex but thought it was too expensive. They now have an EXPRESS BLOWOUT! It only last 6 weeks and you can wash your hair after 8 hours so it is less commitment plus it is supposedly half the price! So this is your chance to try it out!

One other thing I just saw was the new curl treatment, after they flatiron they curl this way you can keep your curls from the start and just lose the Frizz! Check out the video below for more!

I am bringing this post back up because I am working on a new post about Keratin so wanted to remind you how much I love this product!!

One of the best decisions (Hair\Beauty wise) I have ever made. I researched and researched and researched about permanent hair straightening and read many reviews on how damaging it could be. After almost giving up and surrendering to the fact that I will have to use a flatiron for the rest of my life I came across the Coppola Keratin Complex Therapy Treatment. Although not a permanent solution it is safer and less damaging then other treatments, in fact it claims to make hair healthier the more you do it. This treatment is not just to straighten hair its actually to remove frizz and make hair healthy and shiny. I wrote a complete review on my Coppola Keratin Complex experience on Associated Content.

I am now on my second treatment and will be writing about it soon so keep an eye out! The second treatment was done at Ulta and was MUCH more affordable so check to see if you have an Ulta store nearby. Also Ulta sells the shampoo, conditioners and treatments that go along with the treatment.
