My Haircare Routine (I got a keratin treatment)

I had this treatment done a few months ago and I have enjoyed how it transformed my hair. There are down sides to the process and after care that I didn’t outline in the video, including my hair feeling dry and damaged on the ends the day I had the treatment done. Since then, I’ve had a trim and removed 1/4 inch of length and my ends are decent. My hair still falls out, like, at a normal rate. At first it was so sleek and flat to my head which looked strange to me but was also cool, since I’m used to having a ton of volume. The wave in my hair has kind of returned over the months but the majority of my texture is straight and frizz free. I am hesitant to do the treatment again, because I think the second time around it could do some marked damage. If you’re interested in doing keratin, watch vlogs on the process, research horror stories and consult with an *experienced* “keratin” stylist. Xo! Love ya

for any curly girl who is considering a keratin treatment, i implore you to give your curly hair a fair chance for a while before you make a change to your texture. so many girls go for these treatments out of insecurity because our world makes curly girls feel shitty, and our hair can be hard to maintain. i personally think my curly hair is 100% worth these negatives, but you may not think so. even if you decide to go for these treatments, don’t do it out of the insecurity that every curly girl can relate to

People coming for her in the comments need to realize that, at the end of the day it’s HER choice to do whatever she wants with her hair. Curly hair is not for everyone, it’s so hard to maintain and a lot of money and work involved. Some of you might love and accept your curly hair, some won’t. Like i prefer caramel ice cream over vanilla. Just get over it lmao

What you said about letting people down when you got keratin, that really spoke to me. I grew up with completely straight hair in a family that mostly had curly or wavy hair. And even though I found their hair beautiful, my sisters would like to straighten them and remove the curls. They said it’s because they were told straight hair looked better. I never understood why that was until I realized that having straight hair is much more well-represented in society than other hair textures. I grew up getting compliments for my hair and often got asked if I got treatments, and I was too young to understand the implications of that. I agree that curly hair needs more positive representation. But at the same time, I don’t want you to feel like you can’t do anything else with it.

I think you absolutely have a right to do what you want with your hair. If you feel weighed down by the pressure of representing curly hair, then it’s no different from being pressured to have straight hair. Life goes by quickly, you should do what makes you happy and healthy.

To anyone reading this, curly hair or straight hair or even no hair at all, you are beautiful and stunning! True beauty is always found in happiness and confidence. ♥️

I totally understand why you've gotten the keratin treatment. Having curly hair and trying to maintain it is the ONLY struggle. It's something I've contemplated as well. But I just wanted to let you know that you were successful in making others confident with their hair, and I want to personally thank you for that. Your still beautiful girl!!

From one curly girl to another: GO YOU FOR GETTING THE KERATIN. People without curly hair don’t know the struggle, time, and mental exhaustion taking care of curls can be. Anything to make your life easier and happier . I support you and love your vids!

I recently got a keratin treatment (similar hair type to yours) it’s honestly the best decision I’ve made and my hair is growing much healthier and faster

[laurenkwidener]

Ultimately what matters is that you feel confident with your hair! It means so much that you wanted to help other girls with curly hair (myself included) but there’s also a point where you must do what is best for you! 💛

This was a seriously high quality video honestly thought I was watching a commercial at some point!

[xrayguurl]

at first i was a little disappointed to see you got a keratin treatment. i have such thin fine hair and i would kill for beautiful hair like yours. i was upset years ago when carli bybel got that treatment too. but after you mentioned that it makes your life easier and it makes you happy, then that makes me so happy as well :) its the reason i stopped dying my hair, the maintenance was too much and it was further damaging my hair. glad to see you've found something that makes you happy :)

[ninjareli]

Can you please do a video about the pros and cons about the keratin and the process you went through on finding a trust worthy person to do it and also how the price range can be? Some people have quoted me 800 dollars and my hair is about your length and thickness. I got the treatment twice in my past and it never actually took my curl away and gave me what I was looking for. Thank you!! Your hair is gorgeous 😍

I did keratin treatments too. After the 1st one, I was happy with the result. And I ended up doing 3 treatments. But after the last one, I realised that I was loosing lots of hair which had never happened before, even though I used to relax my hair for years. Even if it's called "treatment" it's a very harsh process on hair and hairdressers don't say it. So, everyone won't react the same of course, but this is not something I would recommend.

Keratin treatments were LITERALLY the only thing that has let my hair grow without breaking off. It grew six inches in a year and a half which is a lot for me

[Aricuno]

I just got a bob haircut and I absolutely hate it. I look like Dora the explorer wants to speak to the manager and now I keep watching all these beautiful women with long luscious hair. 😤

I work in a hair salon, great tip; towel dry your hair before you condition
This helps conditioner to really soak into your hair and actually work!

[baileymoore]

I love how honest she is. She’s always willing to try out things that other people are doing but if they don’t work out for her she lets us know and lets us know why. She isn’t doing it to please anybody she’s just trying to find what works for her💯

I'm 19 now and I've been following you since I was 14, you've been a good inspiration for me because I have curly hair as well, I've watched how you strengthen yours with and without heat, I've seen your hair cear routine and tried to follow everything.
I love my curly hair, but nothing was working for it.
I've tried masks, creams, conditioners, natural remedies, sprays, shampoos, professional salon stuff, NOTHING worked, as soon as it would get fully dry it started to look like cotton.
Many people told me that they would pay for my hair but I don't believe them, keratin was my only solution, I was REALLY tired of having to keep my hair up in a bun ALL THE TIME, I couldn't do a pony tail, I couldn't do fancy hairstyles, I couldn't do anything, just a regular ugly bun, not even just letting it free without touching it because I didn't feel like it.
I'm so much happier now, I curl my hair anyways cause, again, I like it curly, but my natural hair just didn't work.
Don't feel sorry or that you let down people because you got keratin, it's your head you do what you want, people just see a little part on YouTube, haven't you thought that maybe her hair looked good just for videos but then, when she would turn off the camera she had to put it up on a bun, or have it fluffy and big all the time? She also has soooo much hair, I totally understand her.
If you are happy with your curly hair, I'm so happy that you found a way to make it look good and to fell good wearing it.

When I was wearing my hair straight, I loved having a keratin treatment! Really decreased my breakage and improved the strength of the strands. Just be careful with high heat use. The relaxing effect really is temporary but it makes it a lot easier to get heat damage and straighten your curls away completely. I’m happy that this is working for you and making your life easier. It takes such a long time to create a good relationship with your hair texture when no one in you family really interacted with it that way when you were growing up. I hope this can help get your hair to the place you want it

I knew this girl with naturally curly hair who had a keratin treatment done. It looked great, shiny and glossy, up until she washed her hair. After that, the curl started coming back, but it did not look cute, it just looked un-kept. I saw her again months later and she was complaining about how awful her hair looked... and to tell you the truth, she was right. Now, I don't know how committed she was to taking care of her hair and getting it back on track (considering she was also dyeing it), but what she claimed is that to her, keratin did more damage than it did good.

I myself have naturally curly hair and ever since I learnt how to take better care of it, I'm starting to appreciate it more. Sure, there are plenty of things I could be doing better, and I agree with you on how time consuming it can be, but I'm super grateful for it. Not to say you're in the wrong for choosing to have your hair straight! I'm just glad straight hair has stopped being the norm as much as it used to be, and I appreciate you taking the time to talk about your relationship with your curly hair. :)

The thing I like about you is that even if this doesnt work out for you in the long run as everyones saying, youll let us know. And youll give us all the deets on why it didnt or did. Youre honesty is what keeps me watching!♥️😊

[kirstineeibyeelgaardchrist]

Girl, I feel the same. Last week I straightened my curls for the first time IN YEARS, and holy hell, I felt beautiful. I love my curls, but I like it better when straight :)
