TMG Project: Ted Gibson Keratin Treatment Follow-Up…
Posted by Lianne on December 8, 2009 · View Comments
Okay so as you recall, I got a La Brasiliana Keratin Treatment at the DC location of the Ted Gibson Salon last Thursday. I was told after the treatment not to wash my hair for FOUR agonizing days. It was agonizing not because of the length of time (I normally wash my hair once a week anyway, if I wash any more than that it will get dry) but because my hair felt so super greasy/dirty by the fourth day I thought I would die. If you don’t know yet, keratin coats your hair, so afterwards it looked great but my initial feeling was that it was too straight (honestly I was skeptical on whether or not it would look good as I abhor absolutely stick straight hair on my face…I need body!). HOWEVER all of that being said…I am pleased to report that after I happily washed my hair last night…the results are GLORIOUS.
As I mentioned before, you MUST use sulfate free shampoo. I chose Phytolactum for dry hair and followed with Phyto Seasame conditioner. I put my hair up in a towel while I did my nightly face thing…and it was virtually dry in 10-15 minutes. Yep, that’s right I didn’t even get a CHANCE to blow it out. The keratin has softened my curls to a slight wave (no trace of frizz WHATSOEVER) and I could actually wash and go in the summer with no problem (which I cannot wait for). So I went to sleep and when I woke up today, no drama AT ALL. I could have put a bit of product in it and rolled out BUT I wanted the full monty. So I hit it with the blow dryer and a paddle brush to straighten it out (just a once thru…took all of 5 minutes and by the way, I didn’t put any product in at all) then I used a wide barrel curling iron all over. Total style time TEN MINUTES. This is life changing ladies and something I will continue to do FOREVER…..LOL. I am in love…
Style Pretty!!

LOL, I'm so glad it worked out. You were close to borderline panic last night! Ah the love of all thing beauty.
Your hair looks amazing!!! It looked nice before, but WOW!
Wow! Your results are going to make me come up with a side hustle to finance that trip to the salon this summer. LOL.
Wow! your hair is gorgeous! How much does a Keratin treatment cost?
I ought to try this keratin treatment. I've heard mixed reviews. I heard that once the coating is over, the hair becomes incredibly brittle. But your hair looks incredibly so I think whoever told me that was misinformed. thanks for great blogs
