Lately my hair has been looking really healthy, shiny, and best of all, NOT POOFY.
Wanna know my secret? I did an at home keratin treatment called Ultra Keratin Touch, by nuNAAT. Have you ever heard of those Brazillian blowouts that cost a fortune at the salon but give your hair that amazing sleekness for 6 months? Well, this doesn’t have the exact same results, as it only lasts 1 month, but for the price (just $14.99) it is REALLY REALLY awesome!
Ultra Keratin Touch is known for its ability to tame frizzy hair, fight flyaways (that’s my biggest problem, postpartum) and smoothing out curls, no matter your hair texture. This at-home formula is sodium chloride and formaldehyde-free and lasts for up to 30 days.
Even though I knew this was a more gentle formula that what you would pay big bucks for in the salon, I was still really nervous to try this. After all, what I was reading about this type of treatment online stated that my hair structure, itself, would be temporarily altered. The end result was said to be smooth and strong hair…but what if it wasn’t???
Here I am about to get started. I know the face I’m making is corny, but it is how I really felt! This also helps you see what my hair looked like before the treatment.
I began to follow the instructions, and I parted my hair into 4 sections. Since everyone loves to see someone else look ridiculous, here’s what I looked like just before applying the product:
Then I began the process of applying the keratin treatment. I read in the instructions that what stuff might appear as I worked the product in and combed it through every 5 minutes. Here’s what that looks like just to give you an idea:
After waiting the prescribed amount of time, I needed to blow dry my hair with the product in it. The heat from the blow dryer is what really activates the product. This part was honestly weird/tricky, as it makes your hair VERY VERY stiff. Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself!
I was a little freaked out at this point, as this is the opposite of sleek and smooth! But it was too late to turn back now! After washing my hair as per the instructions and drying it and taking the flat iron to it, this was my end result:
Super smooth and sleek. But I’ll tell you this: my hair still felt sort of strange at that point. It didn’t feel soft. So I wasn’t sure that I was in love with this kit at that point.
Fast forward almost two weeks later today. My hair is now very smooth (and it has felt very smooth since the first time I washed my hair after this photo was taken). I also find it to be more manageable. It doesn’t take me as long to straighten my hair with the flat iron to get the results I want. At this point, I REALLY like this product, and I will use it again. I think the price is fantastic for a month of extra-good looking hair! The application process is a bit cumbersome (start to finish for me was a bit over an hour, though I’ve heard the salon version is a 2+ hour commitment) and the first few days after you do the treatment your hair does feel a little weird (and you can’t get it wet for 48 hours!). But after you get over that awkward stage, you’ve got fantastic looking hair.
Bottom line: this product has saved me time and helps me look my best. It’s a winner! You can find it at Walgreens or Walgreens.com!

My hair is wavy, and it is somehow both dry and oily at the same time. I’m thinking about just shaving it all off.
My hair is straight. I would like this because I would love to get rid of the frizz
Thich and wavy!
My hair is right between straight and curly. Not quite straight enough that I don’t have to straighten it. Not quite curly enough to pull off a wavy or curly look. Seriously annoying! I’d love this to smooth things out so all that straightening doesn’t completely ruin my hair!

My hair is long, wavy, and frizzy in the summer humidity.
wavy/frizzy
My hair is straight with a bit of wave and it straightens fairly easily but my major problem is flyaways. I just can’t see to tame all those little pieces that look like I have rubbed a balloon on top of my head to add static so they will stand up and float around. It drives me nuts. I’ve tried most of the styling products on the shelf and after about 30 min to an hour it looks like I didn’t put a thing on those little un-tamable flyaways.
My hair is long straight and frizzy. I could defiantly benefit from this product.
My hair used to be straight but after two pregnancies, it is now wavy. I think this could really help me.

Very wavy, thick and unmanageable. I straighten it every day to try and tame it but I’m afraid I’ll ruin it in the long run! jessicapeeling@yahoo.com
My hair has a natural curl to it that I can’t seem to tame. I usually blow dry it straight.
Thick!
I have straight hair. Normally it is very soft and silky, but since I have been pregnant it has been very dry. This might help it out a little!
straight and thin
Some of my hair is wavy and some of it is stick straight–which explains why I have one child with stick straight hair and one with wavy hair!–and it is fine and dry right now, so I am prone to the Frizzies. I am also getting some grey, which makes for some unmanageable hair for sure!
Mne is unmanaegable! It get so frizzy with humidity! I would love to win this!

My hair is fairly straight but has some wave to it. It has become more fragile lately.
My hair has been going through some sort of change. It’s thining and getting curly instead of being thick and wavy….I’ve been having to buy all new products!
I would like to win this & give it to my daughter. She has a thick head of long, wavy hair, but has been getting depressed over many large wads of hair coming out in her hair brush from having a baby.
My hair has been frizzy lately too and would love to calm it down a bit! 🙂

My hair is a mess. It used to be really curly, then as it got longer and after I had Sammy, it’s almost straight but still wavy. One thing that hasn’t changed is that it is FRIZZY. All the time. I have flyaways like crazy! I’d love to have my hair smooth for once!

My hair is long and straight, it looks bad right now becuase I really need a hair trim.
Ah, I’d love to try something like this! My hair is very wavy, but very THICK. As in, I get it thinned out every 3 months and if I don’t, it’s so unruly I can’t even keep it in a ponytail! Yiiiiiiiikes. I’ve always wanted to try a Keratin treatment but have been too nervous.
