HomeI am an African American hairstylist and have had many people come to me in tears because their hair has fallen out or broken off so bad they had to cut it into a small afro because they got a Keratin treatment. My advice about this treatment is you cannot, I mean absolutely no kind of relaxer or perm in your hair. Not even a texturizer. Your hair will come out if you have any of these chemicals in your hair. You have to not perm your hair for at least six months to a year. When the time comes for you to get the Keratin treatment, make sure they cut off the permed hair before applying the treatment. If there is any kind of perm left on the ends your hair will BREAK OFF. African American women are mis informed about this treatment and have fallen victim listening to the wrong information. There is nothing wrong with the Keratin for our hair but please let someone licensed and trained to put this in your hair. Remember NO CHEMICAL WHATSOEVER IN YOUR HAIR, YOU CAN HAVE SEMI-PERMANENT COLOR AND THAT IS IT.
