Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy

Okay, who's heard of it? What do we know?

I bought it, plus the sufate and sodium free 'poo and conditioner but I'm not using it until I run it past LHC.

I tried at home 'keraline' recently and it did nothing!

Good luck, keep us posted.

I've heard of it, and been interested in it...and have had to fight the urge to buy it and use it cause I'm SURE it's not great for hair!! I mean you have to slather it in, and then flatiron the crap out of your hair for it to work :rolleyes:. So errm... I'm suppressing the urge to try it!

The Organix shampoos and conditioners were terrible for my fine hair. They did smell nice, but it was tangly, rough and just not very good. My mom used it too and came to the same opinion and she has thick curly hair.

I've been using the Organix conditioners (tea tree and coconut) and have had good results. I also like the serums (Vanilla Silk and Coconut Milk). They seem to put out a quality product so I felt like this would be worth checking out.

I went on Amazon and the reviews seemed to be favorable. The only consistent complaint seemed to be lightening of the hair. No damage reports (I read about 12 or so reviews).

I've seen it in stores and was wondering about it too. I had Japanese permanent straightening a few years ago and loved the results but it destroyed my hair (big cortex blowouts all over in clumps) so I'm scared to do anything like that again. All I can contribute is that the reviews on Makeup Alley were split half and half. Half were favorable and said it relaxed their curl but didn't keep it pin straight and the other half it just did nothing for. My suggestion would be to give it a shot. You already bought the products and their brand seems to work for you. Good luck, keep us updated!

I tried it a couple months ago it didn't lighten my hair but every time my hair was wet there would be this strange chemical smell. It worked amazing and I still haven't had to re-do it even though I didn't follow the directions... I didn't wait 30 mins and I didn't wait 2 days before washing my hair again and yet amazing results. You do have to use like 400 or 450 heat from a flat iron so there is some damage from that my hair felt so much better after the treatment.

I've seen it in stores and I figured for the price of it (-around $18AU), it would be more like a straightening balm. I find those sorts of things weigh my hair down and make it greasy so Im very interested to see how you go with it!

I haven't used it personally but there are many reviews online.

There are video reviews on Youtube also.

I tried it last night and it was actually very pleasant to use. The shampoo was very conditioning - usually 'poo toasts my hair, but this one was alright. I applied the serum expecting a horrendous smell but it was quite pleasant actually. No fumes or sensitivity to my skin. I waited the 30 minutes and blow dried - followed up with the flat iron. I'm not sure what the temp is, but I used what I had. Viola! straight hair. It was actually tame.

It says to wait 48 hours before shampooing, I went to the beach and of course it was hot even though I was under an umbrella so I went swimming. I did just fine until I got out of the water then got blasted with a big wave and my hair got wet (must use sulfate and sodium free shampoo and conditioner) Sodium...salt....ocean....curls. My curls were not frizzy though.

I had enough left over so now I'm redoing it. No damage to speak of. My hair can handle some heat styling so, I think I'll be okay with another blow dry and flat iron.

I'd recommend it.

My avatar is my hair with the organix keratin treatment. I used 2" curling iron, so it has some movement to it.

I just got done flat ironing my hair with this, my hair is super super greasy right now :( but I get to wash it in 48 hours (I can handle that) it seems like it is going to work well. I'll update a week from now :)

Update: I obviously changed my avatar.

[gogirlanime]

Yeah. Don't try this stuff it didn't work as soon as i washed my hair it went back to normal. It's not even semi-straight it's exactly like my natural hair which is really disappointing because my hair isn't even that curly!
