Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power

Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer

I recieved a campaign invitation from BzzAgent to the Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer. My hair is naturally striaght but I still wanted to give the product a try so I enlisted the help of one of my sisters. My sister has very wavy hair, with some small curls here and there and other pieces of dead straight hair. Its so weird. I will be testing the product on her hair to see if it really works.

"The Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer is "A gentler, more manageable approach to taming your curls and frizzthan relaxing. Keratin 4 + Aloe breakthrough chemistry offers lasting versatility, giving you the KERATIN POWER to choose whether you want to wear hair styled straight or "wash & go" manageable curls after one use! Transforms hair with up to 5X less damage than relaxers and *lasts up to 6 weeks on treated growth (or 5 washes)! This treatment is a gentle, semi-permanent taming product that won't damage hair structure by breaking hair bonds the way other permanent chemical treatments do, and will have a gradual and cumulative effect the more you use it! Great for root touch ups (not a root straightener) or taming in between relaxer use."

**UPDATE**

I was very unimpressed with the Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer. The product seemed to be more of a one-time use type of thing. Flat ironing your hair takes less time or the same amount of time doing this treatment. It also left the hair extremely dry and damaged at the ends. The hair was relaxed but I am unsure if the damage was worth it. The product smelled horrible and very strong; definitely use this in a well-ventilated area. The product claims to last up to 6 weeks or 5 washes but after 1 day the hair was extremely oily only at the roots so it had to be washed but I waited the 3 days listed on the instructions to wash. After the wash the hair was virtually as it was before and very uneven. Depending on if you are willing to or not, I do recommend if you want the straighter hair do blow dry and flat iron, we didn't flat iron because the hair felt so dry and damaged and we didn't want to further damage the hair. If you normally do not use any type of tamer/relaxer in your hair then stick with your other options. Women who normally use these types of products may love their results whereas non users may hate the after feeling of your hair. Ofcourse with any product results will vary, in this case it just didn't work for us. Maybe it'll work for you. This product gets 1 star in Miss Brittney's book.
