How to Reverse Or Wash Out Keratin Treatment ?

I had the Coppola keratin done yesterday. I was really excited to get it done. I loved the idea of pretty waves when air dried versus frizz but I have fine hair and not a ton of it. I have read so many posts about fine hair not doing this treatment. I thought it was healthy! Now I hear all of this other stuff. Lots of hair loss! My scalp burns and my skin around my face where my hair falls on it.

I want to get this stuff out of my hair. Is it too late to reverse keratin treatment process? I don't want hair loss. I am really scared now.

I also read not to use any product with protein in it that the hair can't handle that much protein. I just want to reverse this process or wash out keratin treatment now!
Please help!

It can be washed out....
by: Nikki L

Sorry for everyones horror stories, but to let you know it can be washed out but not by sulfates/ides.

Sodium chloride (salt) pulls the keratin protein out of the hair. I myself am I stylist at a Aveda salon in Perrysburg, oh~salon hazelton. This process has to be carefully done and must have training to do so.

There are many different kinds, we carry formaline free. None actually have formaldahyde, the formaline when heated at extreme temperatures may produce the gas formaldahyde.

Everyones hair is different the hair should only be ironed in until there is a high shine achieved. Beyond that it can be fried. (I myself have just gone thru this with a collegen infused one, I repaired it by using the Brazilian blowout brand, it more moisturious. The ends are still a bit frazzled but lay much better than before. Each section was only ironed 3 to 4 times. ) Ask if your stylist is certified or received in-salon training. There much more knowledge learned from being certified.

Your hair needs proteins in the exact amount.Want to take your treatment out? Wash 3- times with a purifying shampoo, then use a good quality conditioner or mask. Almost impossible to find a good quality product without proteins.
Yes, how do we reverse the treatment?

I am in the same boat...had it done yesterday, but now after reading everything all over the Internet, I want it out! I don't care that I spent almost $300 on it. I'd rather have it out if it will not jeopardize my health or my hair/scalp!

OR

Did I already jeopardize myself at the salon WHILE it was being done?

I guess that's where I'm confused. Even if I try to take this out, is it too late? Have I been exposed to harmful vapors? Is it already in my hair? Is it in my bloodstream? I am trying to wean my daughter from nursing, but she still nurses once or twice a day. The stylists said it's ok, but...

If I do try to wash it out with shampoo that contains sodium sulfate, how will I know it's all really out of my hair?

My hair was tick and I have lots of it. I did Keratin treatment because I want it to get hid of my tight curls. And being able to blow dry in less time. This was six months ago. My hair is thin as paper still falls every day.
