So yesterday I finished applying Global Keratin BKT treatment for the first time and I'm not getting the expected results of shiny swanging hair.
This is what I've done so far:
Clarified: 2x with Keracare 1st later and 1x Global Keratin clarifying poo
Blowdried Hair with handheld blowdryer 100% (went to sleep after this step)
Applied 2 oz of treatment. I let the treatment sit in my hair 20 minutes.
Blowdried hair to 100%. At this point my hair was sticky and heavy with treatment and very hair to get it completely dry.
Flat-ironed treatment with Chi flatiron,(not the silk) used techniques such as "tapping" the roots straight and chasing the comb, went over each piece 6-10's.
Wrapped and went to sleep
My hair now feels...ok. It feels coated (which it is I'm sure), but feels slightly tacky to the touch, well not tacky but really coated. I was expected bling, and it looks a bit dull to me. And the swang I was expecting is not there, it has some swing, but no swang. I got major swang and shine when I used chi silk infusion with SE megasilk and this doesn't come close. My hair feels and looks like a week old flat iron to me. I am missing something? I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Will it better better after the wash?
ANY advice is appreciated.
ETA: Description was not clear, I didn't use Chi silk infusion, I flatironed with a Chi flatiron.
