Review 1 for Smooth 'N Shine Keratin Power Regular Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer
It's actually a low grade sodium relaxer!!

I should have researched this product more before putting it in my hair. It's actually a low grade sodium relaxer. Nothing more than a texturizer. Sodium relaxers dry out my hair and I NEVER use them. Now this. So disappointed.

No More Relaxers!

I saw this on Walmart's website, but they didn't have any in the stores in my area. I decided to look at another drugstore and was able to buy the very last one they had. After relaxing all my life, for the past 4 months I've been trying to go natural. That's extremely hard to do in Atl because the least little bit of humidity makes my hair revert.
I applied this just like a relaxer, saturated the ends with what was left over and placed a plastic cap on my head for 30 minutes after using the neutralizer for 20 minutes, I then blow dried. With 4 inches of 4a/4b new growth, my hair looked like I had relaxed it. Soft and smooth, a miracle. I then went on to flat iron.
My hair lasted all week with me only wrapping it, no touch ups and bone straight everyday (and it rained most of the week); and this past weekend I walked in the misting rain 3 times in 24hr period with no umbrella and had absolutely NO revision. . . .unbelivable. I've already referred my sisters.
The only downside is the smell. Opt for a well ventilated area if possible, other than that you're going to love it.

great product for the price

I heard alot about keratin treatments and I also know they are very expensive. I found this at a local beauty supply store and decided to give it a try. I weary my hair in a kinky curly style but I wanted something to help smooth out my curls and detangle a bit. The first time I used it I left it on for the full 25 min as instructed but it left my hair too straight so I let it wash out for a couple weeks. The next time I used it I left it on for 15 min and it did the trick. Exactly what I wanted smooth curls and easy to comb. The results lasted about 4-5wks for me. Definitely will be using this as a regular hair regimen.

Loved the way it smoothed my hair!

I purchased this on a whim and I am glad I did. My hair is naturally, kinky curly but will straighten when blow dried and flat ironed. I've been very skeptical to try Keratin kits before because of the multiple steps and the fear of formaldehyde damaging my hair but this was very easy to use and seemed chemical free! The application and smoothing process was very similar to the relaxer application and I could actually see my hair straightening as I smoothed it out. I left it in for 15 minutes (I also have hair color so didn't want to leave it in too long), rinsed and then applied the protein milk, saturating my hair. I left the protein milk in for 20 minutes and then rinsed. My hair was soft, smooth and shiny although it wasn't curly merely wavy. However, as I don't wear my hair curly that much in the winter time, it didn't bother me. Blow drying was the easiest it's been since I went natural and flat ironing it took much less time because I didn't have to reapply heat as often. Also, I haven't had to curl my hair daily because it's not responding to humidty/moisture like it did when completely natural.
I liked it and recommend it highly for those natural hair consumers who want the look and feel of relaxed hair without the chemical damage!

I would have to say that this product worked and was well worth the price. It does have a strong smell but its great without all the chemical like perms/relaxers have. The only downfall I have is that the shipping of the product was bad because I receive it pretty much damage from the company it could have been the soft packaging of it instead of it being boxed.

Did not work---waste of time and money!

This product did not work on my hair and was a complete waste of my time and money. Walmart should stop selling this stuff. I will never use it again. Maybe it might work on someone else's hair but not on mine. I can't say if it would work for anyone else. Below I marked I use this stuff once a year because Walmart did not give me an option that would allow me to mark I had used it once but would never use it again. I discussed my failed use of this product with my hair dresser and he said maybe they could not sell the strong stuff that really works to non professionals. I am not sure about that. It sure smelled strong.

I gave this four star's only because it stripped my color a little and it was time consuming,everybody may have different expeirences.,it smelled of sulphur raw egg's at first but after rinsing the product from my hair my hubby said it smelled funny,I think it had a light very pleasent smell,my hair is of a medium length,my hair looked better than it ever has it would'nt hold a curl that well but im very pleased with the result's,one thing you must know about this product you ca'nt use just any shampoo it must be sodium chloride free,and you ca'nt wash the hair for 72 hour's,just to let you know so if your used to washing everyday this is information that comes with the treatment,use this product in a well ventilated area,it did leave our home smelling of chemicals :/ .

This did not work at all and actually made my hair feel drier and look frizzier than before. Also, it is really very time consuming to complete the whole process, it took me 2 hours in total.

This product is simply amazing. I received this before it was on the market to give feedback because I used the more expensive keratin. I am a 3 yr keratin user and I was spending $200 every 3-5 months for the treatments, which are a great alternative to harsh perms. I would recommend to anyone to use. the treatments I use to use had to be left in for 48-72 hours and you couldn't bend, bind, use any headbands, get the hair wet or rubber-bands during the 72 hours, simple sets, but very time consuming. I was amazed with the results considering I was not sure of the results because of the extremely low price. I haven't used a perm in over 3 years and my grew 4 inches the 1st year of the treatments and sulfate free shampoo. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send them. I use this on my 13 year old daughter's hair and people say her sew-in is beautiful:), but it is all her hair. it works miracles on all hair types. My niece is bi-racial and wanted a straight hair-do for school and I used this and the results were amazing. I wish I could post the pics of the styles.

I've been natural since September 2011 and this is an awesome product to use when you miss having straight hair . It's as simple as 1,2,3. There is only ONE problem with this product...when I tried to "wash and go", my hair wasn't "nappy" just somewhat straight and I can't coil my hair :(. Other than that IT'S SO WORTH THE MONEY!!

Great new product for managing hair

I found this while I was shopping in Walmart and was intrigued. I had been looking for a way to make my hair shinier and more manageable without using relaxer systems. I was feeling brave and decided to try this product. There are 3 steps:
1. Wash the hair twice with any shampoo
2. Apply the protein smoothing treatment to subsections of the hair, let sit for 20 minutes, rinse out. The protein has an "interesting" smell that lingered in the house for a while. The most difficult thing for me during this step was to remember to apply this product from the root to the end. I was conditioned to only apply products like this to new growth. After I rinsed out the protein smoothing treatment, I noticed that my fine hair felt coarser than usual.
3. Apply the neutralizing milk and rinse - you are encouraged to use the entire bottle at both step 2 and 3 and I found it difficult to do so. I found that I had a good amount left over and I had to force myself to find a way to use the remaining product.

As I was washing out the milk, I immediately noticed that my hair felt softer and that my new growth was less noticeable... But not in the same way as a relaxer (not as pronounced). I then blow-dryed my hair and noticed that it was so soft! The instructions recommend flat ironing the hair if you want a straighter look. This was when I realized that I did not have to rely as much on the flat iron to straighten my new growth. I probably could have skipped the flat iron altogether as after blow drying my hair was light and fairly straight. In general, my hair is softer, shinier, and lighter than it was before I used this product. I am happy! I now do not have to rely on the flat iron and on relaxers to achieve straight hair.
I would encourage others to try this product out. I think you will be amazed at how your hair turns out and happy to be able to steer clear of relaxers.

Blue Sapphire looking for Relief
Posted 07/12/2012
Smooth "N" Shine has gotten my attention!! I'm from the "Old School" when all we had was the HOT COMB/Press'n Curl for the last seven years I've been wearing braids they're OK:) Now, this North NJ person's comment about this product seems like something I need to try and if does or doesn't make me happy this Blue Sapphire will let you know.
