So as we know I have had my Fro out for about a week. I wanted to hibernate it for the winter, but I felt I needed a protein treatment to strengthen my hair before I tuck it back into tree braids.
So I booked an appointment and on Thursday I had a Keratin hair treatment. It was perfect timing considering I also had to attend an event that night!
For those who don't know a keratin treatment I basically a protein treatment which also straightens the hair. It uses heat and product to straighten the hair shaft and in effect strengthen it. The heat helps to open the strands (not the technical term, but i am no hairdresser!) so the protein can be absorbed to the max.
My hair loves this treatment, and even though it affects my curl pattern, the benefits out way this negative. Besides the affects only last 3 months maximum. I have this done twice a year now I am natural, but when i was transitioning, I had this done right on the 3 month mark. I still believe this is why I have no breakage issues and my hair grows so quickly.
Anyways, here are the results and as promised my 1 year natural length check!
My hair straight is about an inch past my collar bone. It hasn't been that long for a very long time! I decided to curl the hair to go to the event, but I can't believe how thick my hair has gotten!
