Hope, 26 years old:

"I decided to make keratin straightening not only to straighten my curly hair, but alsowith the aim of getting rid of the split ends. I decided not to spend money on visiting the salon, so I bought keratin and a special shampoo for deep cleaning. I did everything according to the recommendations: I washed my hair with shampoo, then I applied keratin along the entire length of my head of hair.

I sat with the composition on my hair for about 40 minutes, then dried it with a hair dryer and leveled it with an iron. After the first procedure, the locks became even, and the ends that were visited were left, but after the second session the number of protruding hairs decreased noticeably. "

I did everything according to the instructions. The result is satisfied, and I can say with certainty that there is no sense in overpaying and visiting the beauty salon, because at home you can independently carry out effective straightening of curls.
