The Brazilian keratin treatment vs straighterner

I have located so many articles that talked about the BKT being the same as the relaxer... well it's not. The relaxer is a Japanese Straightener that will last up to four months and no blow dryer will be needed for smooth results. The Brazilian treatment only last until your next chemical service. It WILL NOT relax your hair. BKT is a repairing service, which has a lot of people convinced that it's a relaxer including the industry experts. But upon interviewing the manufactures I found out the following. It does make very chemically stressed hair 100% smoother. It can be done on all types or hair. How ever a monthly chemical service such as a color service does deactivate the BKT. I have answered a lot of questions about the BKT not doing what the stylist claimed it would do for clients. If the hair has been previously relaxed, Japanese straightened, or chemically damage the hair will appear 100% in better condition than you would see on a natural head of hair. This is due to the dramatic contrast of the damaged cuticle in comparison with non chemically treated hair. Why is it that the Japanese Straightener had such negative results for so many? because... upon retouching the relaxer the proper precautions where ignored by many a technician. For example overlapping of the creme is almost inevitable because it had to be applied five to six months latter (that is about 5 inches of regrowth) you see... this is called over processing when a chemical touches the hair again. Applying products like "blockers" (used a lot by master colorist to protect hair that has been previously lighten), creating that very needed barrier so no OVER PROCCESSING occurs. This SUPER IMPORTANT step was skipped 99.9% of the time which as a result caused the hair to brake at the 5 inch mark where it had just been retouched. I've had success after success with the "Thermal Straighteners" & "Japanese Straighteners" just using a little common sense.The Brazilian is a huge breath of fresh air for all of us and our clients. Because we can now have answers for those whom have suffer the neglect from technicians in la.la land.
