The Keratin hair treatment aka Brazilian blowout is an alternative to a relaxer and can be used on all types of hair. It is a non-chemical protein based product and was designed to naturally straighten hair with the help of a flat iron. Some have said that it actually strengthens the hair also.
It can be used on virgin or previously processed hair. You can relax or color your hair before the keratin application since there are no chemicals in the product.
It usually cost between $150-$300 depending on where you live and can take up to two hours to complete. Results can last up to a few months but gradually washes away. Shampoos with a natural PH are recommended to extend the results.
I have heard both good and bad things about this product. The good thing is that unlike relaxers it isn't a harsh chemical and can be used to straighten natural hair with out permanently changing it's texture. What usually worries people is the temperature of the flat iron. The flat iron can go up to an extreme temperature of 450 degrees and may damage the hair.
As with any treatment results may vary.
