Keratin Hair Straightening - Damage Treatment and Solution
by Heather
I had the Coppola treatment done on Feb 4th. My problems started like most people's I have read on this post. I too found this post in a desperate search AFTER my hair was breaking off in little frizzy pieces after the first wash (three day waiting period.) I'm going to make this to the point and share my solutions instead of all the problems. My problems seem right on with everyone else's.
I first used Ojon Pre-Cleanse Treatment so my hair could receive the full benefits from the Ojon Restorative Treatment. I also wanted to use the pre-cleanse as a way to remove ANY formaldahyde residue from my scalp. I left the Ojon Restorative Treatment on over night.
The next day I rinsed my hair with warm water and shampooed with Purelogy NanoWorks ZeroSulfate then conditioned with the Purelogy NanoWorks Luxury Hair Masque. I left the masque on for 1 hour.
The two days I spent doing the OJON and PUREOLOGY I was researching everywhere on what I could do further. I tried the above because it was what I had on hand. NOTE: My hair was noticeably better after using the above, but the possible saving grace was yet to come.
I read several reviews on other sites about Nexxus Aloxxi Polymedic Emergency Reconstructor. I had to order it online. The waiting for 3 days was painful! I did my first ALOXXI treatment tonight. MY hair looks and feels full of life and shiny again. I do have many broken pieces around my face and some on the crown. But, I think I have saved my hair.
I think the ALOXXI is the way to go. But, I wanted to at least let everyone know the other options that did help. I am going to continue using my PUREOLOGY shampoo and conditioner as my regular ritual and do another ALOXXI again in one week.
Good Luck to all of you!

The Nexxus Poly product is full of protein and will cause breakage!
The first four were great. I have found since the last one, that I have lost a lot of my hair and it is still falling out after four months.
Has anyone had regrowth? I am still seeing my hair fall out since Dec 2010. Very small regrowth so far.
Have had 3 treatments since march 2011. 3mo and 6 month intervals. The 2nd treatment I began to have hair loss and I asked my stylist, who told me that does not happen it must be something else. My girls friends also mentioned it to me months later. I had done an Internet search in June but found nothing to alarm me. I did a search again this week and floundering lots of info on hair loss from this treatment. My hair is much thinner, but it feels soft and looks shiny. I loss some hair every day, but seems normal now. What concerns me is that most of my hair loss has the bulb or root on the end. I have seen short hairs coming in around my face. I am going to stop putting heat on it and wear it natural after a wash.
