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!

 Keratin protein treatment
by: Anonymous

I got keratin treatment done probably like 6 months ago, being naturally curly haired, I used to straighten my hair every single day but now that I have the Keratin treatment, I completely miss my natural curls. I searched many solutions and found out that using sodium chloride and sulphur shampoo and conditioner on your hair helps a lot, or applying a mixture of sea salt and yogurt since sea salt helps in exfoliating and yogurt reduces the drying effect from it by moisturizing your hair, I haven’t tried it yet, I’m thinking of letting my hair grow out a bit and then doing this. But knowing my Impulsive thought, I might end up trying it tomorrow itself, I’ll let y’all know how it goes!

 Getting back to normal
by: Evelin

Hello,

I’m posting this to help someone out. I had my keratin 11 months ago and 7 months after I did botox so the new growth has been natural and botox. I followed the advice given by someone in this group. I mixed shampoo with sulfates mixed with sea salt once and took it out. The next day I did the same thing and left it for like and hours and shampooed my hair. I’m very amazed by the result. My hair gained more than 50% of its volume. I will continue to do this for a few week and will update on how it goes.

 Hair like a scarecrow after brazilian blow dry
by: Anonymous

Please help me. I had this straightening treatment done 4 months ago. My hair is now limp lifeless skimpy with no body. It looks awful. It will not hold any kind of a style. 4 months later it is exactly the same as it was on the day I got it none. Zero change. How can I get rid of it without wrecking my hair further and without stripping the colour. I am at my wits end.

 SHAMPOO WITH PLAIN WATER AND NO CONDITIONER
by: Jacque

I was also desperate to get rid of the keratin treatment because my hair was oily, flat, and lifeless. It had to be washed everyday!!! When I read the posts I was devastated and began to look into what causes the product to work...Apparently, Formaldehyde in the keratin treatments or formaldehyde produced by the treatment restructures the hair and make it straight.

I decided to see what degraded the Formaldehyde and found that water destroys Formaldehyde. Why I thought then did washing my hair not cure my problem?? I decided to start not conditioning my hair after shampooing. Apparently the conditioner protects the formaldehyde from the water, because after a few conditioner free shampoos with "thin to thick" shampoo, my problem began to go away. I still had to wet my hair almost every day, but used no shampoo today and my hair feels almost normal again.

Also, I did not comb my hair when I dried it. I just used a defuser on my hair dryer an used my fingers to arrange my hair... TODAY I SKIPPED THE SHAMPOO ALTOGETHER AND RINSED MY HAIR WITH WITH PLAIN WATER AND NO CONDITIONER. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS MY HAIR LOOKS NORMAL...I hope this helps.

 Agave Smoothing Treatment..and ways to get it out
by: jmoney

Okay so i got an Agave smoothing treatment in July 2018...and it's now October 2018. it's still in my hair ! I've tried everything, but African black soap and clarifying shampoos work the best. About an inch or two of my natural hair had gotten back to normal, but the front is still straight. I had a 4b texture before and now it’s about 2b/2c. anything that will help??? in conclusion...DONT EVER GET A KERATIN TREATMENT UNLESS YOU WANT LIFELESS HAIR AFTERWARDS!

 Brazilian Keratin Nightmare
by: Arielle

I have gotten the Copolla keratin treatment many times before with amazing results.

However 10 days ago I went to a new place and got a brazilian keratin treatment. I HATE it and need it gone!!! My hair is flat and gets so greasy by day two. I am freaking out that I have ruined my hair.

Has anyone succesfully removed a brazilian blowout without damaging their hair? My hair is thick and wavy on the top, and frizzy underneath. I have never colored it. Id give anything to have my frizz again :(

 Best way to remove keratin from hair
by: Anonymous

Hey, i had my keratin treatment which was a complete disaster, this happened just a few days before my engagement day. I was so depressed, i tried washing my hair twice daily but nothing seemed to work, then one day my brother suggested me to use a soap containing Sulphur chloride. And THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!! I could not believe my hair texture came back...
i thanked him by gifting him his favorite earphones...

 African black soap
by: Anonymous

AFRICAN BLACK SOAP!! I had the keratin treatment done to my hair a few years ago and my hair has been lifeless and dead ever since . It would not grow past a certain point and even when I kept having my split ends cut off they just came straight back! I thought I would never get my natural curls back and then I read about the African black soap ; which you can use as a shampoo.

After 1 use my curls were back about 20% ! ! And after the 4th wash my hair was back to its full curly self , it was so much healthier then before and has grown so much since using it my hair with the keratin in treatment wouldn't grow past 16inches and now after using the African black soap is at 22/24inches. ABSOLUTELY WOULD RECOMMEND !!ONLY THING THATS REALLY WORKED FOR ME .

 My wavy-curly hair became straight
by: Nelly

I used the Brazilian Blowout 2 times the first one it was good but the second time I started to feel burning sensation, irritation, itchiness and redness not only in my scalp but also in my upper back.

The dermatologist prescribed a especial shampoo: Kertyol P.S.O. After 15 days finally I found relief!

Now the only problem that I have is that I have my new hair about 3 inches, is wavy and the rest of it is straight making mandatory to use the blow drier and a flat or curly iron all the time since I don’t want to cut all the length of my hair! So I am considering to cut an inch of it every two months during a year!! Is there any other solution?

 Any helpful suggestions?
by: Cindy

So I got a Chocolate Keratin Treatment a long time ago, like 2 years. I did it to make my hair more straight I guess. It took away most of my natural curls. Now I want them back and my hair is curly on the inside and a little bit in top. But in the outside to the bottom it’s all straight and just puffy.

Does anybody know any shampoo or anything to get my curls back without cutting it and hoping for the best.

 An undercover relaxer
by: Anonymous

I don’t know how they call this a "treatment" when it’s so obviously a chemical process like a relaxer or texturiser. I done the big chop six years ago and done the keratin ‘treatment’ To make my hair stronger and more manageable. With the assurance it would wash out in three months I thought hey why not. BIGGEST mistake ever!!! My hair is thin, curl pattern has disappeared and is shedding really badly.
After two months of being in denial (and waiting for it to revert back to normal) I finally sought some advice and will be trying to soak the thin ends in some sort of sea-salt solution. Then because salt is a drying agent I’m gonna leave coconut in my hair overnight then rinse and have a steam. I hope this helps. I’ll be back with an update..

 What should I do?
by: Anonymous

I had a keratin treatment today and my hair is like straw.
The hairdresser said leave it in for 48 hours to see if it's better after I wash it out. Even she said it's didn't look good.
Should I try and wash it out now before it does even more damage or should I wait the full 48 hours and hope for the best??

 tried lush shampoo as the person below suggested
by: Rosebeauty

I also had a keratin treatment done about 2 months ago and I'm looking for my hair to be healthy again. the keratin leaves my hair looking so soft and smooth and manageable but my hair is super oily on the second day. my hair doesn't really curl much anymore. years ago i had 2c to 3a/b curly hair and with all the flat ironing and bleaching and color processing I've done to my hair i just want my curls back. looking to go natural for the first time in over 10 years...
the person below suggested purchasing lush BIG shampoo and i went and purchased it 2 days ago. i felt such a difference in the first wash. I can tell my hair is a little frizzier and it seemed more texturized and not as smooth. I'm also hoping to have this out in 10-12 washes but ill come back and post an update for you ladies. i wish everyone the best of luck. if anyone has any advice for me going natural (best products to buy, etc.) it would be greatly appreciated.

 Luckily I found this shampoo
by: Deepika

Like everyone else, got a shock with keratin and flat iron treatment.. Hair went flat.. Fortunately just a week ago I had bought BIG Shampoo from LUSH handmade cosmetic store containing sea-salt, citrus juice etc.. I'm on my 4th wash now and it's really helping bring my hair some bounce back. Prior to wash I make a mix of yogurt and bath sea-salts (half cup yogurt and 1spoon of bathtub sea-salt) and apply for an hour before shampooing with LUSH shampoo. I'm hoping with 10 more washes I'll completely get rid of keratin in my hair. Goodluck to all and no more flat-iron for me..

 Why are idiots allowed to have computers?
by: Anonymous

To the person who thinks that sodium hydroxide is salt. Do everyone a favor and stop posting advice until you educate yourself. I've been a cosmetologist for over 30 years. Sodium hydroxide is an EXTREMELY harsh chemical used in the "old style relaxers" and also depilatories (for people like you I'll elaborate and say hair-removers ). Yes, that's right, if you leave it on a little longer it breaks the hair off right at the root leaving a smooth hairless area wherever it was applied. Lovely for your legs and bikini area but probably not what you want unless you're trying to rock that Bruce Willis look. Look up sodium hydroxide before you tell people to put this crap on their hair. As for any shampoo containing sodium hydroxide, I've never heard of it. Most shampoos do contain sodium laureth sulfate which does contain salt . That's what sodium means! Instead of giving advice about something you know nothing about, why not invest your time in going back to school???

 keratin be gone
by: Anonymous

After reading all these posts, I went to the beach (thank goodness its summer) and went in the water. Upon getting out of the ocean, i saw small waves come back. I filled up an empty water bottle and brought some of the ocean water home. I transferred the water into a spray bottle. Ive been soaking my hair in ocean water and leaving it until the next day. I also gave my hair a coconut oil, honey and apple cider vinegar mask. I left it on over night and my hair went from flat, lifeless, zero volume & smelly to wavy. Im slowly getting my hair back. I will keep using salt (ocean water) and coconut oil masks until this treatment is gone. I had the treatment done last Wednesday, tomorrow will be a week & I already see a huge difference. Let this be a lesson to all of us. Natural is best!

 Devastated
by: Stacy

I have short blonde fine hair. 12 days ago after I had the regrowth blonded my hairdresser put a keratin conditioning treatment through it. I have now lost 1/2 of my hair, some fallen out, some broken, so I have little wispy tuffs all over my head. My hair was like straw. My scalp is still stinging 12 days later. I've put coconut oil on my hair and this seems to have made it softer.
Does anyone know when it stops falling out and breaking off!

 Reverse keratin "nightmare"! It works!
by: Anonymous

My hairstylist swore that the keratin treatment is best for frizzy waves and to help for hair to dry quicker... had it done and the minute I got home, my scalp was burning, next day my face was itching! My hair smelled like crap! Held out for a week, and stripped it out after many reviews on how to do it. I used warm salt water (2 tablespoons with 3 cups of water) you have to scrub it into your scalp, let sit in my hair for 10 minutes with plastic bag, rinsed out, then put in apple cider vinegar, 10 minutes of that, then coconut oil, let it melt in your hand and scrub it into your scalp, rinse out, used a clarifying shampoo or you can you dawn dish soap, leave in hair, rinse. Then use a deep condiotioner leave in hair 10 min. Rinse. Did all of these 4 times in one night. Keep in mind rub everyone into the root of your hair to strip it out. The last time I left the conditioner in over night with wet hair and washed my hair the next morning. It was a little greasy from the conditioner and the. the next day I put on a hair thickening shampoo and Acure lemongrass conditioner.. ( I use it all the time! Good stuff and it's natural) Finally!! I got my hair back! What a nightmare! I would never ever suggest keratin treatment, to anyone unless they had extremely thick uncontrollable hair. Make sure you buy a thickening shampoo to use for the next few weeks. I lost a lot of hair and I have my bounce back and will never complain about how long it takes to dry my hair! :-)

 Follicles permanently damaged from Brazilian Blowout
by: Anonymous

I made one of the worst mistakes of my life by getting a keratin treatment/ Brazilian Blowout five years ago in 2012. Before that I had never gotten a perm or even dyed my hair or used any chemical besides natural conditioners and gels on my hair. At that time I did not know that the product contained formalin or formaldehyde. My thick, beautiful curly hair never came back and my hair has been scraggly, thin, damaged and frizzy ever since. It's randomly straight in some parts, semi-curly/frizzy in others. It's all over the place no matter what products I use, and I've tried a lot of products. Clearly my follicles were permanently damaged. It's been 5 years so of course it is not in my hair any longer. It damaged the follicles.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a chemical that can reverse the effects of formalin/formaldehyde on a cellular level, to restore the follicles to their original state. Thank you

All I know is that it stunk. On the first day not even an hour after I got I washed my hair cause I really didn't like it. I think I used shampoo or I didn't cause I was scared that would make it worst. But now I'm reading to put shampoo with sodium chloride in my hair.

 removing keratine from hair
by: Anonymous

Hello all,

This is in response to the persons who just had keratine treatment done, you can still revert it's effect easily as long as it has not been 48 hours post the treatement as this is the required time for the treatement to set on hair and fully dry.

I suggest that you wash your hair as soon as possible with a normal shampoo not designed for the keratine treatement. You can also add some cider vinegar to balance it's ph.

Hope this will be helpfull and let this be a lesson to all of us... learn to embrase the nature of our hair and stop looking for perfection!! it's deos not exist!

 Keratin hair be gone
by: Anonymous

I had my last keratin treatment Sept 2015. I stopped washing my hair with shampoo and conditioners made for keratin hair. I went back to the old products I use. That strips the keratin from your hair faster. My hair slowly became wavy. Now it's 90% back to the natural 3c curl. Keep up with hair cuts regularly. Take biotin to strengthen your hair. It also helps me with hair growth. Also, patience. Your hair will grow back out the the natural texture. It will take time.

 remove keratine out of your hair....what a nightmare
by: amma

Hello,

After days and weeks of searching and a dead straight hair, I think that I found a way to remove the keratin from hair.

Here is the trick most of you know that the BKT has a percentage of formaline which is used to preserve aliments, in a hair straitening treatment this is what hold the hair strand in place and keeps it in a straight state consequently if we manage to get that formaline out of the hair than the hair will gradually revert and bye bye keratine.

Here is the link about formalin removal:

http://infozone24.com/eliminate-formalin-foods/

I started soaking my hair in salt and water for 30mnt just yesterday I used about a full tea spoon mixed with 80% of water wrapped my hair and let it work ..the keratin is still there but hopefully it will be all gone with repeated use, especially that one or two curls are coming back so I can only guess that it is working slowly but surely.

Ps; it's better to add some coconut oil or argan oil with the salty water to avoid extra dryness.

Let me know girls how it goes.

"Keratin Hair Straightening Removal Some Keratin therapy smoothing system infuses
Keratin deep into the hair cuticle and seal it there with the use of a flat iron at high temperatures. Another systems associated with Keratin hair straightening work with the amino acid bonds in the hair and are referred to as amino fusion treatments.

To remove a Keratin Hair Treatment - where keratin has been bonded to your hair with a flat iron:

go swimming in the ocean or on a cruise ship where they fill the swimming pools with sea water
the salt in the sea water helps remove the keratin that has been bonded to your hair
-
Not Near the Ocean or going on a cruise? Make a solution of salt water at home in sink or tub.
first soak you hair in the salt water then shampoo with
Roffler Blue of Gold Shampoo pH=8 or
a Chelating Shampoo like Lanza Step 1 Chelating shampoo from the Lanza Ultimate Treatment or
use the Thermafuse clear one® Anti-Residue shampoo or
another deep cleansing CLARIFYING shampoo of your choice
next soak you hair in salt water again and repeat the shampoo
finally recondition you hair. Try the Lanza Ultimate Treatment or Color Lover Moisture Masque
To reverse the effects of the amino bonding treatments like ThermaFuse Smoothing Treatment or a Brazilian Blow Out Treatment

shampoo with a highly pH shampoo

 This what I do!
by: Honey

As I have aged several unpleasant things began happening to my very fine hair. There was breakage, hair loss, limp hair, dry, itchy scalp, etc. My Dr. explained that the most likely problem was keratin buildup but only suggested taking a biotin supplement. Tried that. No apparent help. So then I spent hours surfing the net looking for help. What I found recommended most was to use sulfate free shampoo & conditioner. I tried that with some success but the dry itchy scalp nearly drove me crazy. Then one day while waiting in my Dr's waiting room I read an article recommending using aloe vera, either fresh from the plant or a 95% gel. I went with a 100% gel purchased at Walmart, (Not expensive) The article said to apply liberally directly to the scalp, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Do this once or twice a week. Oh, blessed relief from the itching & my hair is shiny & healthy. I still have a bit of breakage & loss bur have been told that is just normal I hope this might work for you.

 HELP please
by: Vidal

I had a keratin straightening treatment done on my hair in May. The stylist said it would last only 2 months. After about 2 weeks of getting it done I started noticing my hair shedding. The shedding just kept getting worse. My hair is so thin now and really coarse. I normally have very soft African hair with naturally defined curls now its just coarse and I don't even know how to describe the supposed curls I have at the roots. Can anyone suggest how to
1 grow out this keratin quickly
2 stop the shedding
3 get back my soft curly hair if possible

Thanks in advance.

 Keratin to remove keratin
by: LaTonya

I've been struggling to remove a Keratin treatment from my hair for months. Two days ago I found a video on YouTube and the hairstylist suggested using a keratin complex shampoo and deep conditioner to remove the treatment which I thought was strange but I went to Walmart and purchased the Matrix Biolage keratin dose shampoo and conditioner. She used a different brand in the video. I washed my hair twice and conditioned for about 30 minutes and am amazed at the results. The video is titled Washing out Keratin from the ends of your hair.
Hope this helps.

 Keratin Damage
by: Kathleen

I have had very curly hair all my life and have dealt with frizz. I have a wedding coming up and wanted the frizz gone. I elected to have a keratin express treatment. At first I loved the straight hair but with that came damage from blowing my hair daily. In addition, I did not realize the sodium chloride in my pool would make my hair like straw. I started to panic six weeks before the wedding. I read the remarks on this website. I decided to try Organix Biotin and Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner even though I did not believe the immediate result comments. I was so wrong, in a great way. I did experience immediate results. Then I tried all of the other Organix products including the Body Wash. None of them disappointed. I am sold and would recommend them to everyone.

 Kerastraight Smells so bad!
by: Anonymous

Please help! My hair is soft, manageable and shiny after the treatment. However, the smell after getting wet is so foul! I've only washed my hair now 3 times with the expensive sulfate free products...so perhaps I need to wait a little bit longer? Honestly though, I don't know if I would have gotten the treatment had I known this would happen. It's that bad.
Please! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I've been reading on the web, it could even be permanently damaged??
Thank you!!!

 Do not!
by: Anonymous

What makes the hair to fall is the formaldehyde not the Keratin itself. Do not try to remove it, since it will remove the shine you got and leave you with a porous and lifeless hair.
Now you have to work from inside out and nurture your hair
From The inside. Drink this smoothie daily:
2 bananas
1 apple
1 handful of spinach
1 spoonful of soy lecitin
This will strengthen your scalp and will stop the hair loss

Now the hair treatment
Avocado
Yogurt
Coconut oil
And your favorite conditioner
Place the mix in a microwave for few seconds to warm it up and apply (avoid the root to prevent greasy-unwashed hair look)

Next time avoid keratin with high formaldehyde content (even the ones that claim to be for Dehyde free are not)
Good luck and focus in what you eat that is the key to stop the hair loss.

 yogurt and salt
by: Anonymous

First of all thoroughly rinse your hair with water. Mix yogurt with sea salt and gently scrub your hair. What it does is, salt removes the keratin layer while yogurt adds strength to your hair and keeps the shine which will get stripped if only salt is rubbed.

Be gentle with your hair, don't blow dry it or iron it, just pat it dry with a towel and air dry it. Don't worry about the texture initially.

Next evening, apply coconut oil or olive oil to your scalp and leave it overnight. Shampoo the next day with a mild shampoo and repeat the salt-yogurt mixture with aloe vera as a conditioner. Or you can mix besan (gram flour) with yogurt, aloe vera and salt and scrub it in your hair. Continue being gentle and continue the coconut oil massage before shampooing. Your hair will naturally be shiny and the yogurt will give it strength. Use a blow dryer or a straightener later on if you want to straighten it.

Keep the yogurt pack on your hair for 45 minutes to 1 hour for best results. The keratin will get washed off, and your hair will stay smooth and strong, with minimum breakage.

You can also mix yogurt with eggs for extra protein for your hair and use it as a pack.
I recommend a natural shampoo by Pathanjali Ayurveda. It is called Divya Kesh Kanti Natural Hair Shampoo and available in 200 ml bottles on Amazon. I started using it and having good results - both hair growth and strength. Don't forget to oil your hair before you shampoo every single time for long lasting strength.

 I want to Revert my Hair back!!!
by: Denise

I had the Keratin Treatment done in my hair 7 months ago.I washed my hair every 3-4 days, as usual so it can last longer. My hair is naturally really curly, in the first two to three months of the keratin treatment my hair was wavy every time I washed it I noticed that after 3 to 4 months the keratin was washing out as normally is it should, but I started noticing that one side of my head was washing out more faster than the other side of my head. Like the left side of hair was just wavy but my roots were so curly, like the right side of my head. It was so frustrating to work with & scary. I started using the Biotin & Collagen Shampoo & Conditioner to see if that would help, I would even wash my hair every 2 days just to speed up the process. I didn't see not one difference. Other people were saying that they were seeing that the left side is getting curly too. But still, I don't see any resemblance. This was a big mistake getting this Treatment done. What do I do to get it out?!

 RE: HELLLP !! CHI Enviro
by: JJ

Think of it like hair dye you apply! You can't completely take it of! And you can't "completely" get your natural curls/wave back! It will fade faster with strong SL shampoo or salt spray but will not completely go away! I'm Not sure about CHI Enviro but I suppose it works similar to other keratin treatments we seen in market!

 Revert usuing Shampoo that Contains Salt
by: Anonymous

You can revert without damage using a shampoo that contains salt (Sodium Chloride). I recommend using Organix Biotin & Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner. Your hair will revert without damage to either the treated tresses or your new growth. You will notice the difference in the first wash. I used these products following the two day detox using the Terressential Mud Wash. I promised my tresses that I will never mis-treat them again. :)

 Revert Keratin Treatment With Mud Wash
by: Anonymous

I used the Terressentials Mud Wash _Lavender to revert the keratin treatment applied to my tresses. Six months after the application and my natural kinks were not coming back. After the first night of the five day hair detox process rcommended for first time users of Terressentials, I have my natural curl pattern back. Terressentials DOES NOT recommend the use of the mud wash for chemically treated, damaged, or color treated hair. However, since I was already at the point of acceptance of yet another Big Chop, I took the risk. I would suggest strand testing first.
