Split ends by keratin straightening treatment
by Olivia
(Miami)
I had my hair washed and blow dried 3 or 4 days after having the keratin straightening treatment and my ends are all split and frizzed like a nightmare. The only solution is ironing it which was the main thing I didn't want to do.
The first time I did the treatment, 6 months ago (with another stylist) it didn't happen and I'm freaking out. My hair pretty thin and semi-curly normally.
Anybody has any idea what could have happened? My hairdresser HAS NO CLUE.... Thanks
Last think you want is to ironing the damaged hair. The damaged was caused by heat after your second treatment and will happen again if your stylist don't make a proper strand test prior to application. Your first choice is to keep conditioning the ends to partially reverse the damage, but ultimately you have to get a trim to get rid of split ends to avoid additional hair breakage. 
About 2 months after Keratin Straightening treatment the lower 1/3 (farthest from scalp) of my hair is breaking, frizzy, dry, snaps in half. The stylist cannot explain. It is not all over my head, mostly the front part. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know. The front part has completely grown out since the straightening but the hair is still breaking. Also, eventhough my hair has been cut regularly, the ends are no longer curly, just dry.
I also got the keratin complex and washed with the special sulphate free shampoo and I have split ends and fried strands that look like brillo yet it's still strong when I tug on the strand. I hope the FDA looks into these companies who say its great for bleached hair. it's just a coating that gives the illusion of looking healthy. Also the legal limit of aldehyde is 0.2%. These companies are known to use much higher amounts and it has not been tested at such high temperatures (flat iron, dryer). I'm sorry I got this done, my health is more important.
Hi, I also have the same exact problem, my ends of my front hair is extremely damaged as well as some of the whole ends, I guess it wasn't covered enough with the product so it was burned by the hight temp. of the flat iron, the hair dresser is suggesting redoing it , by the way it was mainly a treatment type (hupuna),.. is redoing it will fix anything or will harm it more?.. I need a professional advise please ... 
In this stage redoing the process is worst mistake.
I had keratin treatment and it was great. Second time around hair is breaking! I'm miserable. Split ends everything. Breaking from the middle too!
The first treatment my hair was amazing, I had it done in October and lasted until March/April. She did it again and this time after maybe the third time washing it, It looks like hay on the bottom. Last night after washing it, I blew it dry and then when dry put a tone of smoothing conditioner by catwalk on the ends. I did it again today before styling it and I have to say it looks 50% better.
