it quickens the drying/flat iron process,and ONLY USE NN-SULPHATE,shampooLoreal has one,to keep the keratin in. yes flat iron,and it will HOLD thatfor days...perhaps 1 week. don't swim in clorine. for your grey USEprotein neutral FILLER (buy it at sallys or online from hair supply) it soaks up the color betterand i get color for 6 weeks,getting it done at the salon ( super cuts its $50.00)i use little store bought in between color. worth the price.hope that helps

Many times. Great results. Just keep an eye on it and don't under process. Depending on what color it was dyed and on the condition of the hair it could be less or more time needed for developing. People that get poor results from home highlighting often rinse the hair too quickly.

I would say that I am a little biased because I have naturally curly hair and I think it works great. However, in saying that I do know that not everything works for everyone, but I am almost certain it will work for you as well. I usually pair the shampoo with Organix Coco butter instant repair conditioner and I have had no issues and my curls look great.

I posted the review right after I did it, so my hair is still quite purple after washing it a few times. I do realize it is a little less vibrant, but it looks decent. Afterwards, not from this dye, but from experience, it's likely to leave a little bit of a purple/pink hue after it completely washes out, but I'm sure if you use a "squeaky clean" or dandruff shampoo it'll definitely take most of it out. Even then, if there are still problems, there are wash-ins that you can get that will tone down the purple/pink hues.

I used it every time I washed my hair until the damage was gone, after that I used once a month but it worked so well I just used it when I felt like it. Go for it I never experienced any over processing with it. It worked for me very gently! Happy conditioning!

Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl.. I've used this treatment approximately 3 or 4 times now this past year & my hair is growing in nice & healthy. While I do enjoy the results, I must say it takes a lot to do this procedure so make sure to have time on your hands on the day that you choose. Also, I have to be honest ... Not to crazy about the smell however a friend did tell me once shortly after a treatment I smelled good ...go figure lol. Let me know if you choose to buy it what you think...take care Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl..

I find that using it every 2 or 3 days is best.it also works best with all 3 products. Wash hair with shampoo as normal, rinse. Apply conditioner, massage in let set for about 2 minutes, rinse. Towel dry a little them spread serum on hands and apply to hair, combing in helps. Then style as you normally do.it's a process but you will love the out come.

I am a hairdresser who has been using this off and on for about 20 years. I'm a natural level 5 . I have mixed white now especially on the front right part, only about 25% grey throughout I would say. I have fine curly hair. Do not use heat or a cap. It needs to dry on your head. 1 hour is perfect. Do not shampoo out, just rinse though all the way through till water runs clear. I do not shampoo for several days, though you can after 24 hours. I use this and occasionally Clairol soy creme permanent haircolor in between henna treatments with no problem.

That is awesome that you've been without chemicals that long. That is what I was going for when my friend tried the CHI iron on my hair. I am bi-racial as well(black, white) and am tired of having to relax my hair every couple of weeks. It worked wonders, it only took an hour to straighten it opposed to the 3 hours it takes to put a relaxer in my hair, blowdry and then press. I am buying a CHI today!

The Agave Smooth out if you use right shampoo and conditioner at home meaning (agave shampoo and cond) from bio ionic is like "3 month" but I never. Dye my hair and I use the agave treatment with the conditioner 2 times a month and i have the treatment for 5 month I only do it 2 times a year is really good I love it how my hair shiny and look and feel so softh but never use to much product with the smooth out I buy and give to my hair stylist to do it with my product and I see her certificate in this product. Good luck

It is a hair dye. You see results at the first use within 5-10 min. of shampooing it in. It was gentle to my hair but the main thing I do not like is that I have only been able to find it in the color black. Another product that only takes 5 min. is Just 5 Colorant for Women. You can usually find at drug stores and beauty supply shops, however, Just 5 for women contains peroxide.

As a reminder, this is a professional strength concentrate and should only be used as the instructions recommend. This product is never to be applied directly to the hair - even if diluted with water it is still considered full strength protein if it is not mixed with a conditioner. Conditioners contain oils, waxes, and other ingredients that adhere to the protein and keep it flexible. I cannot stress enough how important this is. Without those, the protein will dry hard, and your hair will break. Also, it is NOT NECESSARY to blow dry or flat iron your hair when using this product. The protein will be there no matter what, to strengthen and protect the hair from breaking. When you blow dry and use styling tools, it is only for a smoothing effect. This will make the hair feel silkier because it smoothes the cuticle - but this is not something that you must do, and in your case, it would be impossible to do this anyway. This product will definitely help the thinning hair at your hair line. Go by the instructions, mix with a hair conditioner or mask, then apply it to any area you desire after a clarifying shampoo, and then rinse out after 20-30 minutes. That's it. Do this every 2 weeks.

Yes! Just make sure you have let two weeks pass between processes. Also I would just keep an eye on it just in case. Usually in a salon they would do the coloring first then the treatment. Good luck!

Depends on the growth of the hair and the product you apply, this is just to fix the hair and suppose to last for a week, we use it as regular basis (oil for brushing the hair) and the other 2 for washingwe use this one (relaxer): Bio-Ionic Agave Healing Oil Smoothing Treatment (4 oz.)My Daughter is 6 (regular black girl hair) and so far we did it on July and today we are going to apply more. It has work for us, we don't want a strong product on her hair, so this one helps a lot, it has decrease the fritz and puffiness in around 70%. Now if you are looking for a full relaxer isnt going to work, better try organic kerathine (suppose to be even cheaper) Depends on the growth of the hair and the product you apply, this is just to fix the hair and suppose to last for a week, we use it as regular basis (oil for brushing the hair) and the other 2 for washingwe use this one (relaxer): Bio-Ionic Agave Healing Oil Smoothing Treatment (4 oz.)My Daughter is 6 (regular black girl hair) and so far we did it on July and today we are going to apply more.

I only had highlights when I used this, and I didn't notice any change in color or tone. Sometimes they offer samples of the shampoo and it lasts for 5-8 washings depending on length/thickness. As far as I know they don't offer conditioner to go with this product, but I didn't seem to need any as my hair had the usual amount of tangles.

Claudia, I'm probably not qualified to answer and I apologize for not knowing what 3c hair is, but have used the product about six times now and have decided that I do like it a lot. I DO think your curls would be relaxed by just using it. I have skipped the flat iron part sometimes and still get a good result. I have long thick hair and one bottle still gives me 3 separate applications, which amazes me, and each application lasts 30 days or more. I can use it more frequently if I want and the treatment is easy to apply. For me a decent and economical alternative to the $300 salon treatment I was getting before. I'd say try it as the investment is so reasonable. I'm cautious about hair products and can say I've had no bad experiences with this product (as long as I don't apply too much and then try to flat iron). BTW I'm using it on hair that was colored and highlighted (subtle) almost a year ago so the OGX treatment helps with the dryness/damage of the highlights.
