Ok, this might be a long blog post. So grab some oolong tea, a snuggie and relax.
I've been on what some would call a "Hair Journey" for the past 2 years. I was never good at taking care of my hair and really had little knowledge on how to do so. One day I came across a website called Hairlista and I was blown away at the fact that African American women could grow their hair past shoulder length. So I dove in and started taking care of my hair. I tried dozens of products with success and failures. In a few short months my hair became much healthier.
I try to relax or perm my hair every few months when needed. When I got the email about the Smooth N Shine Keratin campaign I was very happy. I was also skeptical because I don't like to use any and every product on my hair since it's healthy now. The one thing that attracted me was that the box said, "5x less damage than a traditional relaxer." That had me sold right then and there because of one main fact:
I HATE RELAXERS!!
I kid you not. Ever since I was a kid I was tormented and tortured whenever I heard my mother say, "Don't scratch your head, you're getting a perm in 2 days." And of course when someone tells you not to do something it makes you want to do it even more. My head became so itchy over the next few days that when doomsday did come, I definitely regretted scratching anything.
So back to Smooth N Shine. I washed my hair with my new margarita senorita shampoo, mmm, then applied the treatment to my hair. If you use this product and have never had a perm/relaxer before the smell will overwhelm you. I'm used to it because I have had perms and curls and I am immune from the stench. My family, however, is not. Lol I washed the treatment out and my hair was a little dried out, but as soon as I used the milk treatment it brought moisture back to my strands.
Over all I say this product is okay. Its 5x less damaging because it is 5x less powerful than a relaxer. I think it made my hair a little smoother, but not much of a change. I do like it better than a relaxer and will use it again. I eventually want to go natural and this product may help. I'll have to do a follow up.
Ladies, please understand:
THIS WILL NOT GET YOUR HAIR BONE STRAIGHT
So yeah. That's my schpeel. Here are my process photos. Enjoy!
