My hair used to be such a nightmare. It was heavy, thick, rough, and tangled just sitting there! It didn't hold any style, was frizzy and had a ton of flyaways.I went to a salon that introduced me to the original GK keratin treatment. That changed my life and my hair. For a number of reasons I've begun doing my own treatments at home now with the GK The Best, and though it really has solved about 90% of my hair damage, my hair still felt as though it was missing something.I saw that many ladies got a deep conditioner packet with their order of The Best to use right after the keratin treatment. I never got that, but I read the reviews and women were claiming that it made their hair even nicer. On a bunch I ordered the big jar of the stuff.I wasn't able to use it when my hair was still wet from rinsing The Best out, but I used it about a week later at most in a separate treatment all on its own. Oh my goodness. I wound up leaving it in my hair for about 40min total by mistake thanks to putting it into my hair first I the shower, not last, and then did 20min under my heating pad on high, which I put on my head over the shower cap because I don't have a salon heat drying chair like the instructions say to use in order to heat-set it.Still, when I got back into the shower, I rinsed it out then conditioned my hair with my usual detangling conditioner, the keratin infused formula from Suave actually (best conditioner I've ever had for my hair! Even better than GK for detangling and smoothness), brushed it through, and let it sit for a moment. After rising it out, I gently used super soft facial towels of mine to squeeze my hair dry, then blow dried it all.My hair came out nearly salon perfect, just like the first time I got a keratin treatment! Then I flat ironed it, two slow passes per 1.5" section, and finished with my Cake dry conditioner spray. My. Hair...!It's literally mirror shiny, perfectly smooth, perfectly moisturized and is in the best shape I've ever seen it! Even sleeping- though I sleep on a perfectly smooth satin pillowcase only, my hair usually still tangles. Not now. I slept with my hair fully down, unrestrained, and woke up with Disney princess fairytale perfect locks. Not one knot!I plan on keeping to a schedule where to start once each 2 or 3 months I'll do The Best treatment at home for the full hour, rinse it out, then immediately do this for half an hour, each under my heating pad, then rinse and use my conditioner for detangling, then the hot blow dry, flat iron and Cake spray. My hair is flawless right now. And I can do it myself to get it right, and to get the highest benefits possible, without having to pay well over 3x the price for typically a sub par service.
