Kerazon Professional Clarifying Shampoo with Brazilian Keratin Treatment and Intensive Hair Mask KIT Tratamiento de Keratina Alisado 120ml. Packaging may vary.

This product is worth every penny. My life has seriously changed after using this in my hair. I’m tempted to buy several more orders just in case it gets discontinued or sells out or Amazon crashes, because I don’t think I could go without it. I’ve hated my hair for YEARS. I’ve tried so many different products. My hair is part curly, wavy, and straight. It is also very thick in texture and volume. I also live in a very humid climate, so there are so many things going against me. Honestly, my hair would prevent me from doing normal things (exercise, swimming, etc) because I hated the idea of needing to spend more time drying and styling it. Now, I do all of those things and don’t spent more than a minute on my hair after. I wanted to go all out and make sure I didn’t run out of product when I tried this (see other reviews that ran out and mixed with water). So I bought two of the 4oz products. Anytime I go to the salon, they need “extra product” because of my hair thickness. With this product I only needed the 4oz and it was plenty!! So I’m saving the extra one for later. Now it does give off strong smells when you’re heating it with the flat iron, so a well ventilated area is a must. I showered with the step 1 shampoo. Then I air dried my hair. I applied the second step on my back patio with a fan pointed at me to keep fumes away - this was a GAME CHANGER and it helped dry my hair quicker too. I had a show on the TV since I read it could be a long process. Honestly it took me about 3 hours from the shower to being completely done, but I wasn’t rushing through it and casually watched TV and paused to eat lunch and it seemed to go by quick. I didn’t wash my hair for 24 hours after despite it saying you can wash right away. Now my hair is so soft!! I have a little bit of a wave, but it is so pretty and I don’t feel that I need to style it at all out of the shower or pool. 10/10 recommend this. It will change your life. UPDATE- I did purchase the largest option available when it came on sale. I did notice the results faded at about 1.5-2 months after using it, but I have been doing a lot of pool time and figured the chlorine probably has something to do with that. I uploaded a photo that shows my natural hair air dried and my treated hair air dried!! No styling needed. Just washed, brushed, air dry. This stuff is amazing.

My review will have some details, so I hope you find it helpful. My hair is curly and thick, so I've always treated it and gone to the salon to maintain it. Last October, I dyed it and got a treatment for a party, and since then, I hadn't done anything else to it. Since everything has gone up in price and the treatments I get are expensive, I decided to look for another way to properly care for my hair without damaging it and without spending the same amount of time I do at the salon (5 hours). I decided to look on Amazon for different keratin treatments that were as good as the ones at the salon. I read a lot of reviews because I usually compare prices, and that way I can decide if the product is worth the advertised price. I normally spend between $80 and $150 per treatment every three months, and I wash and dry it at home since I have everything I need to style it. I found this Kerason product, and it seemed to have the same technique and process they use at the salon (the difference is that you have to straighten it, wash it again, and dry it all on the same day). So I bought it and did my hair myself, just like at the salon. I ordered the $69 treatment because my hair is shoulder-length and the product was 2 oz, but I think next time I'll buy two treatments to make sure I don't run out. (But I used a tip I read, and the 2 oz was enough for all my hair.) Since I already had to dye my hair, I did it first because the instructions say to dye it first and then do the keratin treatment. Then, another day, I washed my hair again and used the clarifying shampoo that comes with the treatment, and I blow-dried it completely. Then I started the keratin treatment, dividing my hair into four sections. (TIP) Since the bottle was 2 oz, I poured 1/4 of the keratin into a bowl and mixed it with a little water, as the product is quite thick. This allowed me to treat all of my hair, right down to the ends, and you should wear gloves until you're ready to straighten it. The product has a smell, but it's tolerable. You should wear a face mask, as it will irritate your eyes quite a bit, so you need to be in a well-ventilated area if you want to do the treatment properly. After finishing the keratin treatment, you should blow-dry your hair on the cool setting and then straighten it completely. Since my hair is quite thick and I realized I'd never finish with just the straightener, I used my blow-dryer on the high heat setting to complete the process. As I had already been drying my hair for four hours and had other things to do, I decided to leave the product in until the next day (my hands were sore from drying it so much). The next day, I washed it and used the conditioner that came with the product (I used a generous amount). I waited 5 minutes and washed it again, then slowly started blow-drying it to achieve the desired result. Finally, I straightened it and finished with some salon hairspray and hair drops, then styled it (I put on a hairnet and slept until the next day). When I woke up for a doctor's appointment, I was THRILLED with the result! I honestly didn't think I could get the same treatment at the salon for $150 and get such great results for less money—$69! In the pictures, you'll see how shiny and fresh my hair looks. The best thing about keratin treatments is that I can work out, and even if my hair sweats, it still looks great, and I don't have to wash or straighten it. I will definitely repurchase this product, and I hope my experience helps you! 💇🏻‍♀️📌

TLDR Version: My hair is long, thick, and 'crinkly'. This is my second time using this product and the results are awesome and long-lasting. Use in a WELL ventilated room. You won't think the product smells bad at first, and it doesn't. But then it hits you and there is no excape. If it gets really bad, so outside for a few minutes and let your space air out. I used about 3/4 of the shampoo (washed twice), the entire 4 oz bottle of treatment, and the entire bottle of hair mask. If your hair is longer than mine you may want to get two sets. Tip: Do NOT wash your hair for 3 days after the treatment and use a quality Keratin-treatment specialized shampoo when you do. Using regular shampoo immediately after the treatment will cancel all your hard work and you won't get great results. Long version: If you have hair like mine, you know it's a struggle to manage. From fly-aways to frizz to always looking like a hot mess, I understand the pain. Flat ironing helps but who has time for all that? I dreamed of being able to "wash and go". Salon options were out of reach because of cost and time, so I tried this home option without expecting much. I first used this product in March of 2022 and OMG, I had incredible results. The process took FOREVER - from blow drying my freshly washed mop to brushing on the treatment to blow drying it again using the cold setting to flat ironing every strand. My arms were jelly, my nose was runny, my eyes were tearing - but I had beautiful, straight, and flowing hair. The treatment lasted well over 9 months; after that I started to notice more and more frizz returning and my hair started to tangle more. Time to set aside a day to do it again but I did it a little smarter this time around. After washing my hair with the shampoo, which basically strips it down to a rats nest of straw, I let it air dry until it was damp but not completely dry. The first photo is what my hair looked like after the wash. I then parted my hair into 8 sections (which was difficult to do being that my hair was extremely tangled) and using gloves, dumped the treatment into a bowl and used my fingers to spread it through each section, followed by the comb to make sure each strand was covered. So much quicker! The instructions say to use a blow dryer on a cold setting to dry the hair. Um, hello? It took me a good 2 hours to get my hair dry last time. Cold air + long, thick hair = HAHAHAHA, nope. This time around I planned in advance - I let it air dry as I worked (desk job, work from home). This might not be an option for you so plan on spending half the day watching TV or whatever takes up 5-6 hours. For the flat ironing, I did it per usual. I don't have expensive flat irons; mine are 1" and 2" Remmington brands from Walmart that I've had forever. They only go up to 430 degrees so that's what I used, going over each little section multiple times. Your hair will get VERY hot and smoke a little as you flatten your hair into submission. Although the instructions say that there is no wait time before rinsing, I did wait about 15 minutes. I rinsed the treatment out of my hair and applied half the bottle of the hair mask, brushing it through with a comb. Then I applied the rest of the bottle by working it through with my fingers; wrapped my hair in a towel, and rinsed again an hour later. You can rinse it out after 5 minutes but I had a conference call and decided to wait. After rinsing, I towel dried my hair, combed it, and let it air dry again. The second photo is it fully dry - no product, no flat iron, nothing. Exactly how it looked and felt last time I used this product. Now the 3-day timer begins - the instructions don't say this but it's best to wait at least 72 hours before getting your hair wet (even sweat) or washing. Don't use any product or accessories in your hair during this time. If you are a violent sleeper like I am (tossing and turning), it's OK to flat iron your hair straight again as needed. After 3 days, wash with a shampoo specifically designed for keratin treated hair. It MUST be sulfate and salt-free (more below). Maintenance: There isn't much to maintaining the treatment other than to use quality products. I use Keratin Complex Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner that I only buy from Ulta (3rd party sellers on Amazon are known to be knockoffs). Yes, it's expensive at $48 for a 32oz bottle...each. It hurts a little when I buy them. Actually, it hurts A LOT but it's worth it. I've been using them since my last treatment and without a doubt is the reason why it lasted so long. BUT, I picked up a set of Loreal Ever Pure Moisture Shampoo/Conditioner for camping and it's every bit as good and much more affordable ($17/23oz bottle). I don't get any kind of kick back from mentioning these two brands, just personal experience. Also, be kind to your treated hair. Keep it natural as much as possible, use sulfate/salt-free products (even dry shampoos, hair spray, etc.). Nothing will strip your hair faster than salt. Limit use of heat stylers. Other than doing this treatment I haven't used my flat irons in a year. When I have needed to blow dry my hair it takes much less time and I can use the low heat setting. Hopefully this review helps if you are looking for something to try at home.

I buy no less than 37,284 items from Amazon each year, but this is one of the very few products worth a solid review, and a RAVE review at that. I have had curly hair my entire life and could only bear to "embrace it" for very short spurts that were long and far in between. I'm 35 and still struggled with my hair, but these days with a lot less free time because I work long hours (Helloooo, pandemic!). In the course of my life I have tried chemical relaxers and thermal reconditioning several times with very poor results and caused immense damage to my hair. I've made endless attempts to get silky smooth results that don't revert the second I walk out into humidity or come in contact with a fragment of a single raindrop. Every serum, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, spray, lotion, and tool (expensive blow dryers, Instyler, Revlon Volumizer, brushes with straightening plates that heat up when you blow dry).. I finally started researching Keratin treatments and wanted to book an appointment before going on a much needed vacation, but cringed at spending over $200 for something that would also likely fail me. Behold, Amazon search! I debated back and forth between a few products and ultimately settled on this Kerazon treatment set based on reviews and the fact that my hair is longer and I needed a set with a large bottle of treatment.. Less than a $70 investment that I can work around my schedule, why not? I washed my hair thoroughly with the clarifying shampoo provided and dried it 60% before I had to pull it back and go run some errands I was juggling that day. When I came back, my hair was pretty much completely dry. I used several pairs of gloves (changed them as needed), and just dipped my hand into a bowl of the treatment to apply and comb through rather than a coloring brush. I was expecting a perm smell, but it was more like a subtle bubblegum-ish (?) scent that burned my eyes like ammonia, so I opted to take a full length mirror out on my deck once I was finished saturating my hair and used my blow dryer on the cool setting to dry it again. I really saturated my hair, and my hair is long, so this took quite a bit of time, definitely over an hour.. But since the treatment is heat activated, the patience you have during this step will pay off (do NOT use warm or hot air). Once I finished drying, I made it a point to work in very small sections starting at the bottom and made 5-7 passes with my flat iron on at least 450 degrees, combing through before and after. This also took a bit of time, but I didn’t want to carelessly rush through it and be stuck with inconsistent results. (If possible, get a mini flat iron to get the shorter pieces of hair around your face without burning yourself). After I was finished, I was admittedly nervous to go to the next steps since water is usually an enemy after most treatments. I used lukewarm water to rinse my hair (NO shampoo!) and applied the deep conditioner as instructed, rinsed after five minutes and said a prayer as I gently wrung my hair out with a towel. It felt smoother and looked straighter when wet.. I had accepted that even if it maintained half of its smoothness it would be worth it. I took a blow dryer to my hair on medium heat, and when it was dry: it was perfect. Shiny, smooth, straight. It took me 20 minutes to finish my hair when it normally takes me an hour to dry and flat iron. I’ve washed my hair several times over the past two months (usually 3-4 times max per week) and I keep waiting for it to be frizzy and unmanageable again, but I am so in love. I will 100000% do this every 3-4 months or however often I need to in order to maintain this time-saving miracle. Picture on the left was a super rare occasion that I let it go curly (probably two years prior), picture on the right was a month post-treatment, after ONLY blowing it dry.

I have tried this one and the Keratin Research. Here’s a quick comparison from my personal experience: Kerazon: Smell was WAY stronger than Keratin Research. I had read the reviews of others saying the smell was bad, but I thought, “I’ve done this before with the Keratin Research, I will be fine” but no, BELEIVE THEM. Like my eyes and nose were burning, hard to breathe, barely got through the process. At one point I got super dizzy and had to take a break. Lasted about 2 months for me. Maybe this was due to the fact that I couldn’t run the straightener through as many times because I was just trying to hurry up and finish due to the smell. But it didn’t last as long for me. It did give me sleek, soft hair, but I still had to run my straightener through a few times a week. This one is more for pin straight hair in my opinion, less for frizz. Keratin Research: Smell was far more bareable. But still present. Results lasted way longer, about 3-4 months. More for frizz reduction rather than pin straight hair, which is what I personally was looking for. It did still straighten my hair but I didn’t have to straighten it after most of my washes like I did with the Kerazon. Overall, I prefer the Keratin Research. But if you want super pin straight hair at any cost, go for Kerazon. Make sure to get like goggles and a mask if you do get Kerazon. You absolutely HAVE to be in a well ventilated or big space. My bathroom is small, I opened th window and ran a fan and still almost died lol. As far as damage, I personally did not experience that with either but everyone is different. Just don’t apply it directly to your scalp or at least a lot of it for a long period of time and you should be fine if you have relatively healthy hair/scalp.
