This is long, so sorry, would love some advise...
I live in an extremely humid climate and to make it through the summer of 2016, I invested in a Kerasilk treatment. It was amazing. My hair was smooth and frizz-free for months. It took about 3 hours in the salon and I saw the characteristics flakes coming off my tresses - bits of old product removed by the process. It also removed leftover brown dye from my hair, leaving it quite coppery, but I didn't mind.
When it was first done, it *completely* changed the look and texture of my hair, making it super straight and incredibly smooth, almost like I was wearing a super fancy wig. It also locked it into a certain style that remained for sometime; even after washing and drying, it would just 'snap back'. Even my husband, who doesn't always notice hair stuff, could tell I had had something done from seeing me during a Skype chat. The difference was obvious.
Four days ago, I had another Kerasilk treatment to get me through this summer, at the same salon.
However, something seemed off from the get-go. It only took about 90 minutes. And I saw no flakes, nor a change in color. When they were done, it was smooth, but there was nothing like the total transformation that took place last year. It just looked like a nice blowout. It felt silky, but again, not in the same way I experienced previously. When I woke up one morning, part of it had flipped out while I slept, while last year, my hair was basically immobile.
Now, it's been a few days and one wash (with sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo) and you can barely tell anything was done. It's flipping out a bit. Parts of it are getting puffy and frizzy from the humidity. It doesn't have that silken texture. It's like most of the result has been washed away.
This cost me $200 and it's only the beginning of the summer here. I'm really upset. Has anyone experienced this? Do you know what might have gone wrong?
I am going to drop by the salon, but I'm afraid they'll say 'tough luck.' :(
