My options were to visit a salon for the treatment or purchase the system online and attempt to do it at home. The prices for the product online was not cheap but I figured that it would even out considering how many applications were in one package. After a little reflection, I decided on Kashmir's Hair Botox. When the package arrived, on wash day, I was absolutely stoked!
When I first opened the package, I took a whiff of the "smoothing treatment" that came was part of the system. Everything smelled nice, so no alarms went off. The treatment had a light consistency and was fairly easy to apply. Per the instructions, I began applying the product from root to tip, making sure that everything was evenly applied.
Then something interesting happened. I noticed my eyes start to get irritated and water. At first I brushed it off because it didn't seem like a big deal. Onward, I continued applying product. The more I applied, the more irritation I experienced. At this point I'm wondering if I'm really having a reaction to the product or if I'm imagining it. I NEVER react to anything. I don't consider myself sensitive and I have no allergies. But there was no denying how much my eyes were burning at this point.
Immediately I grabbed the bottle and scanned at the ingredients. In my haste and excitement, I neglected to look review the ingredient list beforehand. There it was, in the second line of the ingredient list--formaldehyde. I was shocked! That was the absolute last ingredient I expected to see on the list. At this point I had a decision to make. The fumes were rising in the air and I had to act fast. I tried my best to keep applying, but eventually, the irritation became unbearable. I jumped in the shower and gladly washed it out. The directions state that I should blow dry and flat iron after rinsing but I was afraid of causing more inhalable toxic fumes with the addition of heat.
One the ordeal was over, I contacted the company and exchanged a few messages. It turns out they offer a formaldehyde free version of hair botox called Hair Biotex. I, unfortunately, was fooled by the marketing tactics of using the words "Hair Botox" on a keratin treatment product. Although I was extremely bummed, I still longed for the true hair botox experience. That's the reason I decided to try again with a truly formaldehyde free formula.
The replacement product has arrived and the first thing I did was check the ingredients to conform that it was true Hair Botox treatment. Once I get a chance to try Majesty Hair Botox, I'll do another update.
Why my first Hair Botox experience was a complete fail.
