Yesterday I dropped by CVS to pick up the Organix 30 Day Keratin Treatment without formaldehyde. I, then, applied the treatment last night. It’s a 4 step system.

Step One: Wash hair with the Pre-Shampoo packet provided (I have medium length hair and I only used half so I would say don’t just waste all of it because you can use it for another treatment). DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE CONDITIONER. It will prevent the treatment from penetrating your hair.

After that, get out of the shower. Towel dry and comb your hair. Wait until it is 80% dry and then apply the treatment to your hair from about an inch down from your roots to your tips. Do not apply the treatment to your scalp. I recommend you use the treatment sparingly. I used about half of the amount provided and that was WAY too much (I’ll explain later why). After you apply it, comb it through your hair. Once again, make sure you do not over saturate your hair.

After you do that you have to blow dry your hair straight and then straighten it, so that it is PIN STRAIGHT. Now this is where I ran into an issue… my hair looked like a grease ball. Not just my roots, I can deal with greasy roots, but ALL of my hair, down to the tip. It was sooo nasty. I couldn’t go outside… it was THAT bad. The reason it was that greasy was because I applied too much of the treatment.

I went to bed last night uncomfortable, needless to say because of the greasiness. I woke up in the morning and my hair was wavy in some places so I applied a bit of the treatment there, blowed dried it, and then straightened it again. I could no longer hand the greasiness by 6 PM as I could literally not do anything- couldn’t leave the house, couldn’t tuck my hair behind my ears, couldn’t put it in a ponytail or clip it (all of that creates bends and waves). So I decided to wash it out 24 hours earlier than the package tells you to (they say to keep it in for 48 hours).

I washed it out with the shampoo and conditioner provided and am currently waiting for my hair to naturally dry. I am not expecting stick straight hair. This isn’t a miracle product but I am hoping for more tamed, less frizzy waves. I have beachy wavy hair but it gets a bit frizzy and knotty, so I am hoping that the treatment helps with that.

I’ll let you guys know how it looks dry!
