It only smelled for a few days and that was very mild. I was very pleased with the perm.

It was a matter of a couple of times shampooing before the mild smell was completely gone.

It has very little smell. There is a vial of solution to put on your hair before the wave solution. This cuts way down on the smell. I don't smell anything the next day

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

Hello:While I found the shampoo acceptable except for the smell, your query sent me looking. Not only does the on-label URL take one to an err page, there is scant data on-line about the company LEMARIE USA LLC and whosis provided a very creepy page which I'll give you the URL for http://whois.domaintools.com/lemarie-usa.com

My sense of smell has deteriorated, but no one has said anything about it after a perm. I think it is a good product.

I mostly use Iso 2 for color treated hair. Iso are more expensive but wonderful perms. The worst thing about Iso perms is the after odor but they're getting better. There are lots of ingredients, the waving lotion is mostly water, cysteamine HLC, ammonium bicarbonate, isoceteth-20, ammonium hydroxide, alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl salicylate, hexyl cinnamal, fragrance. Neutralizer mostly water and hydrogen peroxide, dicetyldimonium chloride, propylene glycol etc. Have no idea what all these ingredients are, I copied it off box. If you need more, let me know.

Odor isn't that bad The key is to rinse rinse and rinse after the perm and after the neutralizer. When you think you have rinsed enough,rinse again.

Don't buy it. I used one box for shoulder length hair following the instruction carefully but NOTHING happened, NO PERM. could not return the purchase for it was already used without any (HONESTLY) result! I used to use MB products for my hair care (shampoo, conditioner, etc...) NO RESULT... maybe it is my hair?

I discarded the original box but know it was a current date. This is my second order from them and have been pleased. Do you use Obaji? What has been your response to products? I am 3 months into full regimen of cleanser, day and nite and serum and think I can see a difference. Thanks

It's been a year since I have used the Perm. I had some left from prior Perms, so I really cannot be sure anymore. Sorry I could not help

I'm an esthetician and have noticed a smell with every high frequency machine I've ever used. The smell, I believe, is normal for this procedure and nothing to worry about from my perspective.

Yes, I had a sew in for 6 months (take down-rebriad every 4 weeks) this was making my new growth come in faster. When I finally took my hair down in Dec. It was much longer and fuller. I will send a pic if I can...or attach

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

Although I cannot say with complete certainty I can say after having my hair straightened with f450 products 2x that it doesn't have the horrible smell like keratin does which is caused by famaldehyde. It is a completely heat based product. I use this in addition to the shampoo and conditioner. The treatment itself sells on amazon and eBay for under $100 but very time consuming. Have to wash hair, blow, put in treatment, straighten and then wash it out and blow and straighten again. Over 2 hrs but I have very thick Brillo course hair and this stuff lasted me over 5 months. I advise using the whole product not just the hot iron part.

Can't speak for the initial time, as I do not remember. However, last summer I used it religiously about every 2 days for about a month straight and after that, remained about 80% hairless for about 1.5 months in South America. After that I think it very slowly grew back. Now, about 9 months later, I haven't used it since and I'm back to "normal." I am very light-skinned with very dark hair. And fairly hairy haha.

According to one review below it will clear. See http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OANC4T8MHVMF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000A2LX5O&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

The same thing happened to me and there is nothing that can be done it's in the mixture itself. I used it three times and I it-canned the tube. I was using the neutral color and the smell was atrocious. I settled for Oregon Wild-hair mustache wax that is the BEST. It is a neutral color also.

You should leave the perm on your hair according to the directions. If you don't have the directions, which i'm assuming is the reason for your question, you don't want to leave the perm in your hair any longer than 20 minutes according to your hair type. Please make sure you have not washed or scratched your hair or scalp as this does not help the process and can cause abrasions or scars in the scalp. If you have washed your hair, I would wait at least a day or two for best results. If you have sensitive skin you may want to leave the perm in a shorter period of time. 15 or 20 minutes is pretty good. You also want to make sure that you start around the edges of your hair line first and work your way through the rest of your hair, making sure to part your hair in sections. 4 sections is best, it will help you to go through your hair quickly. Don't use the product directly in your scalp at first. Apply the product to the edges of all your hair first and then, if your scalp is not burning apply the rest of the product to the scalp as you go back through your hair to apply the rest of the product. Make sure to use gloves for skin protection and vaseline if you have it or the clear jelly that sometimes comes with the product. Apply the clear jelly or vaseline around the entire edges of your hairline. Example: if you have vaseline it will work fine, just take a medium helping and spread it on your face at the hairline and around the ears incase product gets onto the skin. this will keep you from burning the skin with the product. I hope this helps and I hope it wasn't too much information. I enjoy helping if I can. Good luck with straightness.

Yes, it smells and feels like the other I purchased at the Salon. Which I like. It is sealed on the top with a secured type of seal that you just peel off. In regard to the expiration date, I don't see one on the exterior of the bottle and even with the previous one I purchased at the Salon it does not have an expiration date. The one I purchased at the Salon lasted me for a few years and it still did the job I expected it to...keeps my hair soft, manageable, not frizzy, and straight when I blow dry my hair while using a rolling brush and even when I don't blow dry my hair and just air dry it while have applied the Biosilk on my hair when it is damp, the results are still great! My hair is long, has a slight wave to it, I have a lot of hair but it's thin so it can get frizzy and tangles with certain weather. I haven't used anything else better than this that compared to the results I have received. I have been using Biosilk Silk Therapy for many years now. By the way, it lasted for many years for me because I only used a small amount that I rubbed on my palms first then applied on my hair - not scalp or it can become oily. That is the suggested required amount - just a small amount is really needed to give you the best results. And if you like you can also use it as a lotion on the dry areas of your skin (elbows, knees, hands, etc.) it works great and your skin smells great too!
