@LadyPBC can't wait to hear and see your results!

Well I have to wait 48 hours so I thought that I might as well wait until then to tell the story (including the firemen) and post pictures!

Welcome to all the new BKT'ers!

Never thought I would say this, but I'm thinking about relaxing my edges. They are doing so well with BKT, and growing longer than ever (I can barely believe that my hairline reaches my chin when stretched), but the BKT is not getting them straight....they're still fuzzy 4b that doesn't match the rest of my hair.

If I do relax, it will be with Alter Ego Linange, so I have time to think about it while I wait for the Linange to arrive. And I will BKT over the relaxed hair to maintain the strength.

My results with QOD Gold:

Before: My hair is generally more moisturized than this. I let it air dry after a shampoo to apply cassia...

After: It is definitely looser. My goal was just to be able to workout more. Meaning, cowashing and bunning would be less cumbersome. I think I achieved that goal. I am going to let this one wear off before applying again,

after over a year of researching, reading diff ppl's experiences, looking at yt, ect i'm finally taking the plunge! can't wait!! thank you so much to all the wonderful laides who helped answer my questions esp sheba and fab.
they'll be using la brasiliana, not sure which strength and i'm going to the hairdresser. wish me luck. i only help my 4 babies dont loosen up too too much, i like the volume and the puff in my hair.

 

[blackbarbie986]

ok got it done today. my hair has so much swang! the process took about 5 hours from start to finish.

question - how many of you added developer to your clarifying shampoo and for those that did did you like the results better?
also, my hairs a little puffy at the root, he didn't really get down deep in these 4a/b roots. i have a root iron, do you think i should go over them a bit or just let it be during the rest of the 4 day curing process?

I would do it. As long as you have the treatment on. Are you sure they applied it close to the roots? If you're sure they did, go for those roots! Otherwise, let it be and wait till the next treatment.

blackbarbie986 ITA with lilikoi. If they didn't get close to the roots with the BKT, then let it be; you don't want to fry your roots and risk breakage.

There's some on ebay, too.

 

[blackbarbie986]

Here are a few pics the 1st and 2nd show my hair yesterday when I got there. Did a braid out so it would be a bit stretched. The 3rd pic how my hair looked after it was clarified, and the 4th pic after blow dry, and the last atached pic is how i usually wear my hair, a pulled back puff.



Anyone know how to make the pics a little larger?

 

[blackbarbie986]

And here's me leaving the shop

He trimmed it about 2 1/2 inch, I was almost APL now I'm back to around CBL, but I needed the trim. Here's a pic of a length shots I took in April and some from today.

Hi, you just need to use poos that don't have sulfates.. (and I add in parabens...) but that's not mandatory.... some of the ones I have tried and used and liked... You can still use any conditioner you choose. I don't think conditioners have SLS.

Yes to Carrots, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers
Pureology Nano Works, Pureology Hydrate
Etae shampoo
My favorite right now is the Devacurl/Devacare No Poo (doesn't lather) but makes your hair so soft and moisturized.. and feels clean after!

Awww thanks.. Once you BKT.. you can't go back... so in 6-12 weeks.. you'll be ready to apply again!

You are so cute.. it looks gorgeous... go girl!!!

 

[indarican]

Question for you ladies, how soon after can another treatment be done... I want to do my roots again, they didnt loosen as much as i would have liked.

 

[blackbarbie986]

indarican - i believe a few ppl have done it two weeks later when it didn't really take the first time. but i'm sure some of the long term bkters can help you more than i can. ck with fab, sheba, veejay or cuteness they've all been doing it for over a year i believe.

Hair one is like baby jesus. and you dont really need any conditioner if you dont want.

 

[blackbarbie986]

lol, baby Jesus, hahahha. I need to ck it out or some type, doing my first shampoo tomorrow night.

 

[Dove56]

Hello,

I've been doing the BKT's since April 2009. I like to do monthly root treatments every month in the Summer and every 12 weeks in the Fall/Winter. You can repeat the treatment in about 7 days; mainly to give your hair a break from the heat.

 

[blackbarbie986]

I think there is but I can't find it either. Could someone add it here if there is or if the OP could add it to the first page that would be great!

Hair one is a shampoo??

 

[indarican]

Ladies i have a confession to make......Im scared to wash my hair... will my kinks come right back, its been more than a week and my hair is getting nappy already at the roots, is this normal if sweat is involved? will it be easier once i wash, and condition it?

 

[MarieB]

It's a cleansing conditioner, like WEN, but less expensive.
