I had a friend who had the Keratin treatments.  Her hairdresser told her they were completely safe but then she got really bad headaches and she has bronchitis.  It caused her bronchitis to flare up and she is worse than ever.  I think they are unsafe but that is just my opinion.  And her hair eventually reverted to its original texture.

Good to know.  Thank you. If anyone has had these types of treatments please share.  Did you like it?  Did you have a reaction?  How long did it last?

Some hairstylists understand the risks but do the treatments in a well ventilated area.  Does that really help?
