Q: How long must I wait to wash my hair after I use Brazilian Keratin Therapy?
A: You must wait 48 hours to wash your hair after you BKT.
Q: Can I wear a ponytail, barrette, or pin my hair up?
A: No. You must keep your hair straight and kink free for 48 hours after you BKT. We also recommend using a flat iron in the morning when you wake up to remove the kinks from sleeping for the first 48 hours. Once you wash your hair, you can continue using elastics, barrettes, and hair pins as desired.
Q: Can I get my hair wet?
A: No. You must keep your hair dry, straight, and kink free for 48 hours after you BKT. If your hair gets wet, blow dry immediately and smooth out kinks with a flat iron.
Q: Will swimming in a pool or the ocean ruin my Brazilian Keratin Therapy?
A: Over time, both chlorine and salt can breakdown the keratin that is bonding the hair and making it straighter and frizz free, therefore we recommend that you avoid sodium and chlorine to prolong the treatment. If you do choose to swim, we recommend washing your hair immediately after with a sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo and conditioner.
Q: Will using my flat iron at 420° – 450° damage my hair?
A: No. Brazilian Keratin Therapy has thermal heat protection to prevent damage.
Q: How long will the Brazilian Keratin Therapy last?
A: While results will vary depending on your hairs texture, the typical treatment will last up to 90 days.
Q: Do I have to use a special shampoo and conditioner after I use Brazilian Keratin Therapy?
A: Yes. You must use only a shampoo and conditioner that is sulfate and sodium chloride free to preserve your BKT.
Q: Can I use any styling products such as hair spray, gel or mousse?
A: Many styling products contain sulfates and sodium chloride so it is important to check the labels first as these things can breakdown the keratin that is bonding the hair and making it straighter and frizz free, therefore to prolong the treatment we recommend that you avoid products with these ingredients. We also recommend that you avoid all styling products the first 48 hours after you BKT.
Q: How often can I use Brazilian Keratin Therapy?
A: Use BKT as often as you like! We recommend using BKT once every 30 - 90 days or as needed. BKT actually improves the look, feel, and overall health of your hair.
Q: Can Brazilian Keratin Therapy be used on highlighted or color treated hair?
A: Yes. For best results we recommend that you BKT 1 -2 weeks prior to coloring your hair.
Q: Can you use Brazilian Keratin Therapy on hair that has been previously relaxed, straightened or chemically treated hair?
A: Yes. You can BKT over any previously treated hair or over any chemical.
Q: Can you use Brazilian Keratin Therapy on virgin hair?
A: Yes. However the results typically will not last as long as on hair that has previously been colored or chemically treated.
Q: Can I use Brazilian Keratin Therapy while I am pregnant or nursing?
A: Consult with your physician. All the ingredients are listed on the back of the packaging.
