OGC CosmeticsBrazilian Keratin Treatment Complex Blowout - Organic Care Cosmetics - 8.5 fl oz (250ml) - Hair Straightening

Update:12/20… I have washed my hair for the first time after the initial instructions, and this is the outcome! Still shiny still very manageable no frizz! My hair is healthy. No sign of damage! Ordering again absolutely. The pictures that are now on my review are fresh from today after I did my hair. And for definition, that meant, I’d let my hair actually air dry from last night and lightly used a hair dryer this afternoon in between conference calls and put a little flat iron to it. First, let me tell you that I have a fabulous hairdresser and stylist! The keratin treatments that I was getting, two times a year that last closer to five months is $100 an ounce. The steps that are used to administer the treatment are the same exact steps that this one bottle for under $60 directs.About me, I have an Italian mother and my father is African-American so my hair is complicated. Lol. The middle of my room head seems to want to grow more coarse hair, then the hair that frames my face, but the hair that is that the back of my neck is much softer so in essence, I have three different patterns.I-desperately needed a protein treatment, and with my schedule being how it has been, reading the product reviews on this Christmas had me willing to try. When I tell you, my hair looked like and felt like what it normally does leaving my friends chair, I tell you that she would be floored.The same rules of engagement applies to using this as going to a professional. Do not aggravate your scalp prior. Know the time in between when you want your hair, dyed a color, and if the color requires the lightning, that also plays in factor to using a keratin treatment. I follow the directions as stated, even using the technique of combing in the keratin like my stylist does. I will say not to freak out my hair, I washed and conditioned it, step one the day before, and let it air dry. I had to finish up in the morning with a hairdryer, because my hair is thick . I applied a product like directed and step to clipped it up and put on a disposable shower cap and left it on for about 45 minutes. I rinsed out the excess in the shower as step three indicated, and proceeded to blow dry. I will say because it did not indicate using any other product like a detangler. You have to be careful when blow drying. Using wide tooth comb to help those with longer locks and pack your patience. But do you know what happens when you follow the directions? It was like magic.My hair was so so soft and extremely shiny. My husband and mother was shocked with the turn out. They were begging me not to try it, but when you don’t have $900 to spend on hair during an unforgiving economy, you do what you need to do. The bottle does not promise that the results will last as long as the one from the salon, but completely manageable to do at home again in 12 weeks or less. I wish I took a before and after picture, but I will tell you that I am ordering this product again.

Y'all, my hair is drying as if I got a brazillian blowout for literally a tenth of the price! I didn't quite follow the instructions as listed, and I followed more of what I've seen my hair stylists do when I've gotten brazillian blowouts at the salon. Instead of rinsing extra product out before blowdrying + flat ironing, I left it in. I did apply a TON of product to my hair, and maybe used 100 pumps on my whole head, going piece by piece. For reference, I have a lot of hair, it's pretty over-processed with bleach and heat tools, and it's just thick an wavy and frizzy. I think in the future I will rinse the excess product before heat styling, because doing so with so much extra product in was very difficult and took way longer. Because the hair was so saturated with dried product by the time I started blowdrying, it was tangling very easily, and I was afraid I was going to cause damage by ripping my brush through. The other thing I did before applying the product, was leave Olaplex puprle shampoo in my hair for probably 7-8 minutes. This is longer than I usually do (1-2 min), because I read a review that if your hair is lightened blonde this product will turn it orange. After I shampooed, my hair was definitely a little bit purple in parts. But by the time I finished blowdrying and straigtening each strand 10-15x, the purple color faded and lifted to a nice light blonde tone that I'm happy with. This is because heat opens up the hair shaft and allows color to escape. If you have bleached hair like me, I would DEFINITELY recommend doing this, because I could literally see the hair getting warmer away from purple and into blonde with each stroke of the flat iron. I didn't mind the smell, but then again I'm used to the way Brazillian Blowouts smell and honestly probably even associate the smell with relief that my crazy unruly mane has been tamed... lol. I did experience a bit stinging/ itching when the product touched my skin, but it wasn't so bad, and it quickly resolved. It made my eyes water for a fraction of a second at only one point while straigtening. All in all, this product did a great job of giving me silky smooth and straight hair, almost as flawless as if I got a Brazillian Blowout professionally done. I definitely recommend!

Hey All.I am NOT ONE that would write to trash a GOOD product, but knowledge is definitely power. I used this product KERATIN OGYX the first time back , I think around May. I noticed my hair was constantly dry.I have really thick curly hair ,and when I passed my hands through my hair I noticed it was dry and would break off after I did this and was also FALLING OUT IN CLUMPS (I thought it was me that I did not reuse the product when I needed to😡)Never realized it was not me but the keratin from OGXY is the reason that this was happening🙄. I decided to purchase another bottle , thinking I needed to reuse the product, never bothering to research the ingredients in this product, but when I used it and realized my hair was still breaking and dry.i decided to research this product, to MY DISGUST THIS HAS 1 OF THE WORST THING YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR HAIR ETHYL ALCOHOL.🤬OMG this is just as bad as formaldehyde. I am so ANGRY AND UPSET. I DID my second use of this product on Sunday.I am NOT SURE HOW I AM going to repair this Damage.but its sad I have almost loss most of my BEAUTIFUL natural curly hair.its now thin and weak from this product (please read the info on GOOD AND BAD ALCOHOL from VOICE OF HAIR.TRUST i wish I had FONE MY DUE DILIGENCE 😭😭😭😭

I definitely recommend this product.

The product was easy to use, and did not seem harsh. The results are not as long lasting as I had hoped. The product does leave a lasting unpleasant scent that is very strong every time you get your hair wet. For this reason, I will not be using this product again.
