So long curly hair – Here’s how to tame your mane

I’ve always liked curly hair. Of course, mine is naturally straight, so I don’t know (or understand for that matter) how much maintenance goes into curly hair. Hearing girls with a full mop of hair complain that it takes them 40 minutes minimum to style their hair, I’m like OhEhmGee!

A lot of girls have been asking me if I have a solution that will help transform thier curls into sleek hair. Well, my curly haired friends, it looks like you’re in luck. I got my curly-haired guinea pig, Louise to try out Scott Cornwall‘s Semi-permanent Keratin Hair Straightening Kit, Str8Forward in Super Straight and here’s what she had to say;

I found it easy to follow the instructions on the pack. After rinsing off the straightener, my hair was left a little tangled, but after applying the Keratin product in the pack, it was easy to comb through. The product pack suggested straightening the hair with a good quality straightener, so I used my ghd as I wanted to achieve the full straightening effect of the product.

After application, when my hair was dry, I felt that my hair was slightly sensitized on the ends. Although I still have to use my ghd to give my hair a sleek straight look when styling, this product has definiely helped, not only to keep my hair straighter for longer, but also in cutting down the time it takes to style my hair straight.

I had kept the left over Keratin and used it on my hair after the treatment with my second shampoo. I mixed it in with a little hair mask to help smooth out the ends which helped a lot.

Overall, I was happy with the results and love that it has cut down on my straightening time, but I do have a lot of very thick and curly hair, so I definitely think I’d go for the Extra Conditioning version of Scott Cornwall Str8Forward next time.

Here you can see my hair before and after the treatment. In both instances, I've just rough dried my hair and left it.
