My hair don't has been a frizzy mess for the past few weeks. I don't know if it's the weather, my bangs, that I dyed my hair a few weeks back or a combo of all. It also don't help that I have a terrible haircut that's growing out.
I really, really wanted to try a keratin treatment and every time I get a groupon offering a deal I salivate. I still haven't been able to bring myself to actually buying one because even at a discount, it would still cost around $100. I just couldn't do that.
I was in CVS the other day trying to shop myself in a good mood. I was replacing all of the items lost that were in my wallet that was accidentally donated to the Goodwill. I saw the box to the left.
All for $15ish. After use, you also have to use Sulfate free sampoo and conditioner so I figured for a total of $25, I could give the treatment a whirl.
So far, so good. I washed with the shampoo they provided, combed the treatment through and then plopped down for the last half hour of Oprah. (tangent...I thought the whole episode was a little self-righteous...I know, I know, please don't stone me for saying bad things about the O.)
After my hair set for the half hour, you have to blow it completely dry and then flat iron with a minimum of 400 degree flat iron.
You know why a keratin treatment costs up to $400? Blow drying deep, deep, deep conditioned hair sucks. I felt like a bird that was caught in the BP oil spill- trying to be scrubbed clean. The good news? My shoulders and biceps are a little sore. Oh, and I have no frizz, straight hair.

So what's next? I have to let this ish sit for 48 hours. No putting behind the ears, no clips, no hair ties. I can blow dry or flat iron to restyle. Then I can wash it with the sulfate free shampoo and it should remain un-frizzed for a month.
Someone remind me to update yous about it...I promise, I'll try to remember!
I'll leave yous for the long weekend with proof that I'm screwed.

As for Oprah, her whole existence is self righteous so I am not surprised. Not a fan and I get a lot of crap for it.
