Bio Ionic is a great alternative to the The Brazilian Blow Out. It has no Ether, Formaldehyde Or Aldehyde. It uses Keratin, Henna and Perm solution to temporarily relax the curl.

It is shampoo'd from the hair the same day, blown out and flat ironed after the shampoo. Usually takes one hour to do on the average head of hair!!!

The curl is a more relaxed less frizzy curl and your hair will be much easier to blow out with lots of shine.

What a nightmare
by: Nadia from NY

I had the Kera Smooth done on my hair about 2 weeks ago, there is nothing natural about , the smell was so strong that i felt it going through my throat while she was applying it at the salon,after 3 days of wait , i washed my hair it was so fried , burned bleached, a nightmare, i am still treating my hair with oils and deep conditioning, and today my throat hurts very bad , pls don't use it .

Treatment fried my hair
by: renee

I had the Kera Smooth treatment done on my hair. It looked okay until I washed it. It fried my hair and lots fell out. I am still suffering 10 weeks after with damaged hair and the only alternative is to grow it out. My hair felt weird like straw. It was not the soft, shiny, frizz free results I had hoped for. I was frizzier after the treatment. Very disappointed!

No One Said It Was Natural
by: Anonymous

No one said it was natural. None of them are. It's an alternative to the formaldahyde and or ether. It smells like mild perm solution and it gets washed out that day before flat ironing, so i am not sure what you had done?
There are so many names out there. Kera silk is different then kera smooth. I have had mine done 3 times and like how it makes my hair easier to blow out and i can still wear it curly.

Many different names

There is Kera Silk which still burns the eyes.
And then there is Kera Smooth
Are you sure it was the Bio ionic kera smooth?
Had it done 3 times never had any problems

Done wrong
by: mary

Kera smooth is washed out of the hair immediately
So not sure what you had done?
It has thio in it which is perm solution/henna and keratin.
They all coat the hair but at least this one has no formaldahyde or chemicals that turn into formaldahyde when heated at 450 degrees

Help is here!

Make sure when hair is being rinsed- a FULL 10 minutes of rinsing happens. Clients should hold timer!!! No neutralizer is used, so must rinse !!!

Burnt my hair too
by: Anonymous

I had the kerasmooth as well. I've followed up by using the bio ionic shampoo and conditioner but it hasn't helped. My hair is very damaged. My only hope is that somewhere by searching on the net, I can find some wonder product that will keep it from totally breaking off before it grows out.

I've always been particular about my hair and the worse thing I've done to it is flat iron (while using thermal protection).

Lesson learned for me and hope my experience will keep someone else from making the same mistake!

Very happy!
by: Cindy Villanueva-Allen

I just had my second treatment--the first one was great. I love that it no longer takes me two hours to blow dry and flat iron my long hair (below my bra strap). It is soft and shiny, and if I decide I want loose curls, I can use the big hot rollers for a few minutes, take them out and not touch them. For the first time in my life, I love my hair!

THRASHED
by: Anonymous

I am a stylist and have used Kerasmooth on several clients hair. I loved using it until one of my clients hair melted with it.. I have never seen anything like it in my life, and I have been doing hair for over 30 years..I have also been certified to use keratin treatments. I will never again use Kerasmooth.. it only takes one person's hair to become completely thrashed to convince you of this horrible product. Good luck to you if you continue with this product.

Do Not Use This Product
by: Anonymous

This product is absolutely HORRIBLE!! My stylist did it exactly as directed and my hair FRIED! Its frizzy it broke off, i dont even want to touch it. I DO NOT recommend this product if you value your hair.

I am a stylist and I used it on my daughter with virgin hair and it did straighten it, but it also broke alot. I asked the rep and she said it is not common. I was not impressed and will not use it again on her or my clients. I followed the directions exactly.

Horrible Product
by: Sylvia Flores

I have being doing Keratin treatments for two and a half years with great results. The kerasmooth fried my hair and it made it frizzy. I had a beautiful wave and now is all ruin. Really frustrated with the product the stylist never explained it was a perm solution and with colour hair it was the worst. Really Sad and frustrated. It was done at DO MY HAIR SALON in Toronto.

Do your home work

As with all hair treatments. You must be Sherlock Holmes. I am a Hairdresser and have been in the business for many years. I make sure that i have an indept consultation with my client before any service. I also like to educate my clients aswell. Let them know if the product is right for them...ie...lifestyle,hair type, chemically treated. If they have had a regular relaxer done in the past THIS IS NOT FOR THEM.... It will break the hair, these chemicals should not be mixed.

The second thing is, Ask the owner of the salon if they have been certified in this procedure and look to see if they have before and afters. Yes RINSING RINSING RINSING at least 15min is what we do. Longer at the nape extremely. Important............So not doing your home work can cause unwanted results..

A little disappointed
by: Anonymous

I just had the Kera Smooth treatment done 3 days ago, and I just washed and dried my hair for the first time since. I am so disappointed - it is still quite curly. The Coppola Keratin treatment is so much better. My hair was straight with that treatment. What's up with this? What a waste of $200. :(

I guess I need to wait about another week to see if the results change, but so far, I'm not happy.

Certification Is Key

I Was certified through Bio Ionic for their re-tex system and since Kerasmooth has come out My clients LOVE it! I have Never had a problem with this AMAZING product, but I was trained properly!

Doing your own research and deep conditioning
by: Anonymous

Never had any problems using this product. Most people have dry hair to begin with so it is important to do moisturizing deep conditioners weeks before regular trims. Make sure to stop using coating products weeks before to get those drying products out of the hair
It is not a permanent straightener. It reduces the frizz and temporarily relaxes the curl a little. It does have chemicals as you must know most of these do.
The keratin henna and the mild perm solution Coat the hair instead of formaldehyde
Do your own research. Some people have had bad reaction even with plant based products.
I just read about a woman who used an organic plant based product and her hair fell out
So every one is different. If your hair is dry it will still be dry after this treatment so be sure to get a consultation to prepare and deeply moisturize your hair the weeks before and the weeks after.
My hair was a bit dry on the ends before the treatment and so they were dry after also but once I deep conditioned it was fine. But some may need to trim ends depending how dry and damaged they are to begin with.

Disappointed...again
by: Anonymous

I had Kera Smooth done last year & had the same complaints as others...dry, weird feeling texture, and beyond frizzy. The salon did a 2nd corrective application and it was beautiful for 4 months. So, a year after the first treatment, I decide to do it again. Same results as the first time. I really expected better results this time being that this stylist knows the hair she is dealing with (mine). I'm deciding whether to call the salon or not. I'm going out of town & don't have time for anyone to fix it. I am SO disappointed. I have a disease that is making it harder for me to style my hair. I was willing to pay the price to have this done more often to alleviate my personal pain. Very depressing all the way around.

Major damage! beware!
by: Anonymous

I got the KaraSmooth as an alternative to the Brazilian blowout after my hairdresser recommended it as a safe, formaldehyde-free treatment, a few days later my hair was damaged and frizzed, over the course of a few weeks the hair on an area about 2 inches by 4 inches on the crown of my head fell out!! leaving me with a bold spot!! also a small area on the back of my head sustained major breakage. Now I have to wear my hair up until it grows back to cover the area on top. I have been using different treatments since 2002 and never had this happen before.

Ugh - never again
by: Anonymous

Kera Smooth is horrible. It did nothing for my hair. In fact, I think it made it more frizzy and curly.

I have since gotten the Coppola Keratin treatment done, and I love it!! My hair is smooth and almost straight - no frizz at all. It's so easy to manage.
Do not use Kera Smooth!!


Once again people IS YOUR HAIRDRESSER CERTIFIED!!!?
by: Anonymous

People if your hairdresser is not certified in BIO-IONIC ..RUN! This is a very gentle but effective process as long as whoever does it knows what they are doing!!!! I have been a hairdresser for 26 years since I was 19, I have always done my research and only provide my clients with THE BEST...hairdressers can be lazy and want to make $ and rush into the newest trends without knowing what they are doing.

Dry Hair - Kera Smooth Experience
by: Anonymous

Kera smooth in my opinion is good for really curly fizzy hair. I had it done on myself by a professional and the results were great. I had shine and body in my hair. If you have a tremendous amount of build up then this product is also good. I recently tried this on my client a year ago and then again this year the results were horrible on her. Then I tried on another client with curly unruly hair and anything was better than she had so therefore she loved her hair. I personally would never use this product again. The hair feels dryer. You have to consider too many things. If you miss one step and do not follow exactly then you can ruin the hair. I am grateful that my clients hair did not fall out.

Help!
by: Stephanie

I just had it done last week and my hair is fried. Awful. This is the worst treatment I've ever had done. My salon is certified, and it is a reputable salon. Is there anything that can be done to stop the breaking?

Stop Breakage
by:

Stephanie, If you see breakage then unfortunately there is not much you can do but to grow it out.
There are damage treatment and repair masks that can help but they don't perform miracles!

It probably got nothing to do with product itself - your hair fried because of long exposure to hot iron - a mistake by stylist.

henna!!!!????
by: Anonymous

I am a stylist and just reading about this product I wouldn't recommend it. Henna will coat the hair and then you can't colour it and also do any type of service, so how is that good for the hair, also has a perm solution in this treatment double no. And commenting on someone saying that keratin treatments have chemicals in it, is wrong. It's so much better for the hair than this product.

Hair Loss
by: Anonymous

I lost about 25% OF THE HAIR at the crown thanks to this wretched product that has a very similar chemical makeup to permanent solution.

looking for alternative to brazilian blow out
by: ani

Does anyone knows of an alternative to the Brazilian blowout?
Is a great product but you risk your health.
Please let me know. Thanks

Don't do it
by: Anonymous

My daughter had the relaxing done twice with a different product at her salon, with excellent results. I went to my salon, to my certified hair dresser of 20 years and my hair is damaged. The ends are a mess, lots of breakage. I had wavy hair that smoothed with 15 min of hair drying and no flat ironing, but would look a little frizzy. No my hair is flat to my head, kinky, smells bad, the ends are fried. I am calling tomorrow.
