Kativa Brazilian Straightening Brunette Kit, 12 Weeks of Home Use Professional Straightening, with Organic Coconut Oil, Açai Oil, and Keratin, for Straighter, Softer and Shinier Dark-Coloured Hair

I waited about three weeks to write a review to see how this would hold up. It really works! I’ve been getting professional keratin & straightening treatments in the salon for years, but haven’t been happy with the results the last few times. Wanted to try doing it myself to make sure it was done thoroughly.Post treatment my hair air dries without frizz and it’s much straighter. I still have to blow dry it to give it the sleek & shiny look, but that’s always been the case with any keratin treatment I’ve done in the salon. Blow dry time is cut to less than half the time.Pros:1) It really works! Keep in mind it’s like any other professional “straightening” treatment. The process is long and it won’t make the hair pin straight and shiny without actually blow drying to give it that sleek look. Because it is heat activated this is quick and easy.2) The blue pigment helps control unwanted brassy tones.Cons:1) There is a lingering smell, especially when the hair is wet. This reminds me of the Magic Sleek.2) I had to reorder the product bc the first package that arrived was clearly opened before and the box was all ripped. I didn’t trust that it wasn’t tampered with. No lost stars however bc Amazon didn’t give me any issue with return & replacement.3) The blue pigment does make for a messy application, but thankfully everything washes off easily. Even from my white tshirt, the blue came out completely in the wash.4) The gloves provided are very cheap and flimsy. They ripped easily and my fingers did turn blue (I replaced them mid way with better gloves). The blue came out after about a day.

This product is too strong to be formaldehyde-free. It's a product that stains everything blue and if you don't remove it with bleach or acetone, it won't come out. You'll pull out half of your hair just to apply it because it doesn't untangle while it's in place. When you dry the product in your hair, it's so strong that it burns your nose, eyes and made me dizzy even when I ventilated the area with a fan. The product soaked into my hair and when I rinsed it, it seemed like the blue dye would never stop coming out 😣 The dye only came out completely after I washed my hair for the 3rd time and in the end my hair wasn't straight as described.

Me encanto 100% recomendado.Me cambio mi color.Me gusto como me lo dejó, y si te lo deja bien liso, yo solo me paso la secadora de pelo y no hay necesidad de plancharlo.

I ordered this Brunette Brazilian Blow Out kit for myself to use on my hair at home. I have color treated naturally curly brown hair. I also have color treated hand tied Remy Cachet extensions as well. I have to use heat and hot tools on my hair daily...The process was relatively easy to do. Everything was straight forward, with the exception of the box not being in English. Thankfully the instructions provided English directions. There are gloves provided, however they're loose and get in the way. I had tighter fitting disposable gloves, so I used those to apply the treatment. Treatment is purple/blue in color. It definitely stains your hands. I used disposable gloves to apply treatment, but when it came time to blow dry my hair it was hard to do with gloves on because they kept getting too hot, so I removed them and while completing steps 4, 5 and 6 my I did not use gloves because I wanted to be able to feel my hair to ensure it was completely dry. The treatment dyed my hands purple/blue, but it washed off in the shower without issue.Step 1: Wash hair twice pre-treatment shampoo, twice. Do NOT condition.Step 2: Dry hair COMPLETELY.Step 3: Apply treatment to DRIED hair, in sections. Leave on for 15 minutes.Step 4: Remove excess. I used a comb and paper towels.Step 5: Blow dry hair COMPLETELY dry.Step 6: Flat iron hair in small 1" sections; going over 8-12 timesStep 7: Let hair "cool" completely.Step 8: Rinse hair until all blue/purple is out.Step 9: Shampoo hair with provided After-Treatment Shampoo, twice.Step 10: Condition hair with provided After-Treatment Conditioner, leave on for 3-5 minutesStep 11: Air dry or blow dry hair.PROS:+ Super easy to do at home+ Super easy to do alone, just yourself+ No mixing+ Everything is labeled nicely and in EnglishCONS:- Dyed my hands purple/blue - but it comes off!- Time consuming (Took me a total of 4.5 hours - 9am-11:30am on steps 1-7. I let my hair "cool" for two hours before following steps 8-11. I let my hair air dry, because I wanted to see how much of my curl was left, and how frizzy it would dry.- Definitely lightened my hair by at least 3 shades - good thing I did my extensions as well, since I read previous reviews that stated this lightens dyed hair.SMELL:* Pre-treatment Shampoo: Not much of a smell, reminded me of dish detergent* Treatment : Smelled amazing. Reminded me of a candy I used to eat as a kid, but I can't remember what it is.* After-Treatment Shampoo : Smells okay. Strong scent.* After-Treatment Conditioner : Smells okay. Strong scent.SOFTNESS & MANAGABILITY+ Hair was not completely pin straight, which is good - I didn't want that. There is some wave to my natural hair, and zero frizz.+ Hair is super soft and manageable+ Air dry time faster+ Cuts blow drying time in half+ Used the air wrap attachment for my Dyson blow dryer to create loose waves and body - held all day without hair product.This states that it lasts 12 weeks. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week, depending how many days I'm in the office, so I am hoping that this will last longer than 12 weeks for me, but if not, I would totally do it again But I would make sure to have some toner on hand at home, so I could tone my hair after (which the instructions state it is okay to do the same day) because this changes your dyed hair color exponentially.

Súper de ayuda para evitar que tu color baje de tono. Pero maravilloso me encantó lo amo este producto es lo mejor para el cabello. Lo puedes hacer en casa no deja olor fuerte en el cabello ni en la casa

The first time I purchased this variant, it worked great, much better than the classic Kativa! But the second time, the result was very different. I don't know why there's so much inconsistency despite applying it the same exact way.All in all it's a good product, which gives better texture to my hair. But I only re-purchased the bue variant because it worked so well the first time. If the result is the same as the classic one, I'd rather go with the non blue one: it leaves your nails/fingers blue from using the straightening iron over it (you can't really use do that part with gloves on) and it generally was a mess in my bathroom. The blue hue will stay anywhere than on your hair, so I'd say, this variant is not worth it.

Me quedó bien el alisado
