Kativa Brazilian Straightening Kit, 12 Weeks of Home Use Professional Straightening, with Organic Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Keratin & Amino Acids, for Straighter, Softer and Shinier Hair, All Hair Types

This stuff is amazing- but there aren’t detailed instructions on the box. Thankfully, I watched some YouTube videos before I used it and I got beautiful results with shiny healthy hair and zero damage. My hair is now silky straight (and STAYS bone straight until washed) from just blow drying and, when just washed, my curls are looser.Some tips before you begin:1. Do the hot ironing outdoors or by a window, in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask. The fumes are STRONG! I opened my window and had the hot irons sat on the window ledge in between use so that the fumes went outside and I stepped back. I also held my breath while I passed the hot iron through my hair.2. Wear gloves whenever you are touching the product. The gloves on the box are flimsy- you might want to get some better gloves.3. Set aside up to 2 hours for this process. It’s easy but tedious and time consuming.4. The solution lightens your hair a bit, so if you want to color your hair do it afterwards. I used a box dye the next day and my hair was just fine.Step 1. Wash your hair with the shampoo- repeat and blow dryStep 2. Apply the straightening cream. Let it sit for 15 minutes- I started counting the 15 minutes from when I finished the application. And then comb out any excess cream with a comb. 1 pack was enough for my hair. It might itch or sting a bit but this will subside once you start drying the hair.Step 3. Blow dry the hair in small sections. I used a hairdryer with a brush attachment which made it easier.Step 4. Flat iron- I set my irons to 380f and passed my hair through 6 times. You can pass your hair a few more times if you want. 6 times was good for me. I used a fine tooth comb to follow through after the irons. The fumes and steam will make you think you are frying your hair- but trust the process. Work in small sections to ensure you are getting every strand of hair.Step 5. Shampoo your hair thoroughly and apply the conditioner. Finish by blow drying. I was tired after all that, so I let mine air dry. I then colored my hair the following day and blow dried it afterwards.

This Brazilian straightening kit really impressed me. It’s easy to apply by following the instructions, and the results are amazing: the hair looks straight, manageable, and beautifully shiny. It also reduces frizz and feels much healthier after the treatment. The best part is that the effect lasts for several weeks, just like a salon treatment but done at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for long-lasting, salon-quality straight hair!

I am so impressed with this product! I had no idea what to expect when I first opened the box. I was quite skeptical it would work. My hair has the consistency of wool and it frizzes at any sign of humidity. No product and nothing will tame the frizz properly. And then I found this product, and was blown away at how well it worked. You must follow the instructions very well. Drying time takes about 2 hours or more. It doesn't smell during the process, but you must use this in a well ventilated area, especially when you flat iron the hair. I finished the process, and when I felt my hair in the shower after washing it, my hair already felt so soft and smooth. I missed a spot in the back the first time, so I had to go back the next day to redo the process. I am so pleased with the results as my hair is soft with zero frizz. It takes me 5 minutes to dry my hair, it's smooth and straight. I just stepped out after doing my hair and the humidity was sky high, but my hair remained intact zero frizz. Amazing!!

First: THIS WILL TAKE ANY COLOR HAIR DYE OUT OF YOUR HAIR . IF YOU HAVE COLORED HAIR, BUY THE COLOR SAFE ONE.My curl/wave pattern is a mixture of 2c wavy and 3A curly. My hair is also super dry and gets frizzy easy. If I am wearing MY HAIR straight I absolutely have to blow dry it and straighten it(and use tons of anti-frizz products. And on the days that it rains or it is humid outside my hair gets super frizzy and puffy. So living in Georgia where we have very humid summers typically during the summers I have to wear my hair pulled back, or curly with a good cast to keep it from getting puffy, bc no amount of frizz ease or moisturizing hair cream helps.I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO JUST WASH MY HAIR AND LET IT AIR DRY, OR ONLY WASH AND BLOW DRY. This product has SAVED me so much time. My hair feels healthier than it has ever felt It is so soft and shiny. And I can literally wash my hair brush it and go and when it dries it is still straight and not poofy/frizzy.So far it has been about 3 weeks and my hair is still amazing!For those who said it didn't work I fully believe they did not follow the instructions and do it properly.It is a long process but if you do it properly I promise you you will achieve the results that you want. The longest part of the process is blow drying your hair after you put the treatment in. After you put the treatment in let it sit on your hair for the amount of time that it tells you which is I think like 20 minutes. After that section your hair and use a very fine tooth comb and comb your hair in sections and get the excess treatment out with the comb. Every time you comb your hair you have to use a towel to get the excess off of the comb, You want to get as much excess out of your hair as you can before you start to blow dry it ,Don't worry if you don't think you've got out enough of the excess treatment, It's fine it will just take you a little longer to blow dry it in. You want to do this in a very well ventilated area, If you don't have big ventilated areas you can do it in you can do it in a small area however I would definitely suggest taking a fan and opening a window and having the fan set up to where it sucks all of the air from inside of the room that you're in and blows it out the window. The blow drying step would be better if you had someone to help you only because depending on how thick or long your hair is it can take a while. It took me about 2 hours to get it dry (no breaks) because it has to be completely dry before you start the straightening phase. I really think people are not letting get all the way dry before they straighten it and that's probably why it's not working as well. So if you have another person that can help you I would suggest it My husband ended up coming again helping me so my arms could take a break. Also do not put anything else in your hair Do not try to put no heat protectant in or any additional conditioners. Once your hair is completely dry that's when you're going to straighten it. I put my flat iron on 450 (typically I only have it at 350 whenever I flat iron my hair) Now, This is an important step because if you do not straighten your hair properly, the treatment may not work as good. Instead of flat ironing my hair the way I normally would which is just three or four sections I actually sectioned it off to smaller sections that way I could really focus on each section. Also you're not going to hold your straightener on each section like some people do when they're straightening their hair and they hold it for a few seconds before they move it down, your going to do medium passes (not fast passes but not too slow bc if you go really slow you risk heat damage) but you're going flat iron each section, with about 10 passes so make sure you really get that treatment to work.My hair is medium thickness. The front of my hair comes down about an inch below my collarbone and the back of my hair comes down to about 2 in above my bra. I used to dye my hair a lot and I would need three boxes of dye. The amount of product that comes with one box of this treatment was plenty and I still had some left over. If you have some stubborn areas of your hair, Where you feel like the treatment didn't work as good You can always use the treatment you have left over and only put it on that one area blow dry it and Let it sit for 20 minutes and flat iron it. Instead of doing your entire head again. (It has a 6 month shelf life after open). However, If you do have long hair I would suggest buying two just to make sure you have plenty.I have fallen in love with this product so much that I have been telling everyone about it! I was not paid for my review I bought this product with my own money after doing research myself on something that will help with my poofiness and my frizz.
