Newest Ask A Pro Question:

QUESTION: My hair is frizzy and puffy so I always have to blow dry and then flat iron it which takes forever! I have been hearing about this new Brazilian Keratin Treatment. Does it straighten your hair?

ANSWER (by Leanne): Brazilian Keratin Treatment or BKT as it is known in short is a revolutionary professional treatment that leaves your hair soft, shiny, manageable and frizz free for up to five months. The formula we use is formaldehyde free and does not chemically alter the internal structure of your hair so therefore it does not straighten. BKT is a conditioning and taming treatment so it can be performed on all hair types – virgin, coloured, hilighted, previously straightened, wavy, curly and kinky. BKT is also extremely effective on dry, damaged hair. The results of the BKT are visible immediately leaving your hair instantly healthy, youthful and feeling like silk. Your hair will still have volume, body and movement while reducing bulk and taming frizz. And… your styling time will be cut in half! Phone today for your complimentary BKT consultation.
