Global Keratin straightening

I haven't blogged for a while as I was being lazy and preparing for my trip overseas. I'm sure i will buy even more products overseas!!!
Anyway the latest craze is "global keratin straightening". For those who doesn't know it is just like japanese ion straightening except it doesn't damage the hair. Too good to be true? I thought so too.
I have tried japanese straightening many times and each time i ended up with much shorter hair as they had to cut off the damaged ends.

I did mine at Hype Hair Design at Forrest Hill Auckland. It took about 2-3 hours. Not long at all compared to the japanese straightening i did back in March for 5 hours!!!

These are the steps.
1. Wash your hair with purifying shampoo
2. Cover your hair with global keratin
3. Blow dry it
4. Straighten it

Thats it!!! How come it works?! Not sure....apparently it coats the hair with keratin and makes it heavier? And hence straight?!?!

It costed me 350 but i had to buy shampoo and conditioner so total is whooooping NZD430!!!


I had to refrain from washing hair for 2 days! When i first washed it, i was scared it will go all frizzy again. But.....the results were great!! My hair is soft, smoother and straighter. I only spend like 5 minutes blow drying it now compared to 20 minutes.

highly recommended but expensive :(

Rocketfuel for the hair


So i have been using this for few weeks now. I must say it is pretty good. Not so much about repairing cos my hair is still very badly damaged - due to everyday iron use (i am on the quest to find a new iron as my new shine therapy Remington iron seems to be useless now).

Anyway, this is good because it seems to make my hair grow faster. I had to get it trimed 2x since i used it because it was just growing thicker and thicker. I cant really comment on the repair hair side of things because i still notice my hair is damaged. But overall, i dont think ill buy it again because at NZD70, it's quite expensive!!! But since it grows my hair faster, ill give it a 3stars :)
