Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Before you jump in wonder whether my down-under has been brazilian-waxed, nope, this is not Brazilian Wax.

This is about Brazilian Keratin Treatment.

A reader left a comment on where can you find this in Malaysia.

You may find it at A Cut Above. They have branches in Midvalley, Pavilion, Sunway Pyramid and a few more.

Winnie Loo is the one who is responsible in introducing this to me. At shoulder length, the cost of the treatment at A Cut Above is RM600. Then you have to plus the stylist' fees. Winnie Loo's charge is RM250, Senior Stylist and Junior styliest fees are slightly cheaper.

Winnie is like no other stylist that I have seen. She explained to me in details about what is the treatment. She did not force this treatment on me, in fact she told me that I might want to consider to do this later when I have the $$$. But I was so sold that I couldn't wait for her to finish talking (gosh she does talk a lot...i guess it's different when you have passion towards something, you can talk non stop for more than 40 mins) and told her, "just do it to me!".

Brazilian Keratin Treatment is basically a corrective treatment. You may google it afterwards to know how it works. YOu may find also that it is not recommended to pregnant and nursing mothers. I'm not gonna write about how it works chemically but let me give you testimonial.

I have concluded, sadly, years ago, that I can never have a natural looking hair. My hair is superfrizzy. I like the waves though. (When I was as The States, somehow, the waves fell down natually. Don't ask me why. humidity level?)

Visited high end salons and every stylist I met never recommend me anything else but rebonding. ("sebab you punya rambut sangat flizzy, sangat tebal woo , sangat susah mau jaga" aghh!) When the rebonding is still fresh (within 2 months), the hair is super straight and shiny and sleek. However, I find it very unnatural. It sticks to my head, and rests down on my shoulders with all the edges sticking out. Its like comparing a palm tree light with a real palm tree, if you get what I meant.

Come the third month, I already had it in ponytails.

On a rebonded-then permed-then colored-then rebonded and colored on the same day-then rebonded again hair, the natural frizzines becomes frizzier. My poor hair went through 10 years of torture.

Until Winnie advised me on BRazilian Keratin Treatment. she said it is a breakthrough. People don't have to depend on rebonding anymore. I hoped and prayed she was right.

Two weeks after the Treatment, and after three washes, surprisingly, she is correct. My hair doesn't stick on my head, it flows down naturally. I got the normal salon next to my place curled them for a wedding function and the girls were surprised to see how soft my hair was. (these are the same girls who have been saying, akak tak boleh selalu blow dry aaa. .nanti rambut akak rosak sebab rambut akak manyaak frizzy woo... somemore rambut akak sangat tebal woo sangat susah mau jaga)

I am yet to say more about it after a few more washes. So far, I'm lovin it! love it! In short, if I may conclude, rebonding = super straight, frizzy-less but brazilian keratin treatment is natural and you will still get the frizzy-less effect.

erm. is there such word of frizzy-less?
