I recommend the normal Got Matrix due to the final results of the treatment. It last moré and shows lesser friss

I only waited two days since I needed to color my hair, but that did not affect the keratin at all. The treatment lasted two months on my hair, but since I have the product at home and I am a hairdresser, I do it on myself almost every month or when I feel that my hair is getting to volumous, which I don't like, so it depends on how you like your hair to look like. The new growth is what makes the hair look different because the rest stays straight for a long time if you use the right shampoo and don't use a lot of harsh products on it.

Yes. My hairdresser (and I) follow with normal styling products. I happen to use other Kerastase products as well as Oribe products.

It is supposed to be every six months. Could be changed at my house after 3. Gets expensive. I have well water that turns my hair orangish. If you have the same problem, the best thing is a Malibu Hard Water Treatment. Small packet of crystals mixed with hot water, shower cap, blow dryer heat for 15 minutes.

I have used both the light and regular. Really, they are both great. If you don't have dry or color treated hair then the light should work well for you. I generally use the regular, concentrating on the hair away from my scalp. Hope this helps.

They say about 4 to 5 days i think,I would wait 1 week just to be on the safe side that your not messing up your straightener process.

I've used when I have had both medium and short hair and have been happy with it. My hair is fine, but I do have a lot of it. Hope this helps.

That is awesome that you've been without chemicals that long. That is what I was going for when my friend tried the CHI iron on my hair. I am bi-racial as well(black, white) and am tired of having to relax my hair every couple of weeks. It worked wonders, it only took an hour to straighten it opposed to the 3 hours it takes to put a relaxer in my hair, blowdry and then press. I am buying a CHI today!

I haven't had much success with the light hair, am experimenting with meladine at this time to see if it helps with eliminating light hair. I mainly bought the elos for light hair on my face and neck.

I use it daily. My hair dresser recommended it about 20 years ago and I've been using it ever since. My hair at the time is/was oily so it probably depends on your hair and skin type.

Yes, it is. It's simple to use. Depending on the length of hair you may need two boxes if you have not chemically straightened before. When doing just the new growth you want to make sure you do not overlap with previous treated hair.

Well, it's effect is not long term as hair reverts back after 1 month to it's original state. So some touch ups might be needed but overall it doesn't pose any damage. I think i might switch to their relaxer cos is difficult to blend my hair with an extension.

The conditioner and then if you want, you can also use the styling mousse. I've been using for 2 weeks but to get some noticeable results I will need to use for atleast 2 months. Good luck

Actually my daughter had hlighlightend hair and it was fine. There is a new product out though through the doctor. I think I left notes on it in another questions someone had. My daughter has suffered for year and now is all cleared up and they had a card from the company so it was almost free. Ask your doctor. If you cant fine it, and I will look for it in her files. Only trying to pass on helpful info as she suffered for years with her saboric dermatitis

I really don't know. My stylist recommended system 4 for my particular issue. Color treated, fine and obviously thinning hair. I wear my hair very short (spiked), and I had one area just above my hairline on the left that was very thin. It looks fine now. I will say that she said I could use either 3 or 4, but she thought 4 would work better. Buy from Amazon, though, much less expensive.

I use this for my children who are bi-racial and it has been a life saver. I myself have a regular strength relaxer applied to my hair every 6 weeks. I think based on what I have seen this product do for my children, that it may be a bit too mild for both my and your hair, especially if your current relaxer strength is super. I would say be careful and maybe try the strand test if you really want to use it, but I'm not sure that it would give you the result you are looking for.
