[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do people recommend for Keratin in DC/MoCo? The only person I personally know who gets the Japanese treatment has very damaged, brittle looking hair. It scared me off the Japanese stuff for good.[/quote] Yes!! I had the Japanese straightening done and it was extremely damaging. My hair broke off with the slightest pull. I ended up with a halo of frizz around my face from the hair that broke off and grew in curly. I've had keratin a couple of times and although my hair was not quite as maintenance-free as with the Japanese it was not at all damaging.[/quote] Your hair will not damage if the person is very experienced. Most aren't - they just jumped on the bandwagon when it became popular and don't understand fully what level of product to use or how long to let it sit. They also straighten highlighted hair which is a big no-no. Also, coloring (especially highlighting) you fair and straightening will cause damage. I just had thermal reconditioning done for the 5 time three weeks ago. My hair is a tiny bit drier (though it is winter), but no damage or breaking. I pay $300 every 9 month and my hair is wash and wear. I do not, however, highlight or color it. [/quote]
