ANSWR Keratin Hair Treatment – At-home Salon Quality Keratin Smoothing Treatment for all Hair Types – Anti Frizz Hair Product – 100% Vegan – 100ml spray bottle for hair

I wasn’t sure about this at first, I waited for few weeks after I applied it and I am so amazed still with the results. My frizz is gone and my hair is absolutely soft and shiney. I will not be going back to the saloon for a frizz treatment again. Will 100% Recommend this product.

I got a keratin treatment done from my hair salon recently but because of the £££ I was looking for a cheaper alternative and this seemed good and convenient as it'd save me the trip to the salon too.I'm familiar with how a keratin treatment is done as I've watched my hairdressers doing it before and it is a simple process. Now here's where I knock one star off; the instructions are over simplified. Yes, the keratin treatment is a simple process but it also comes with a looong list of dos and donts. I have literally spent over 6 hours reading reviews, watching videos and readings loads and loads of articles about how to do a keratin treatment properly, what to avoid before, during and after etc. The lack of instructions this packet is setting up people for failure.I'll explain what I did in a nutshell. 1. Began a week before with conditioning my hair to prepare it for this treatment 2. Washed and dried it the day before to save time (don't apply anything on the hair after) 3. Sprayed the whole bottle on my hair the next day and left it for an hour 4. Wash off with COLD water (this is not mentioned on the instructions but my hairdresser said it's vital otherwise you'll activate/waste the treatment down the drain) 5. Blow-dry on a COLD setting (again, this was not mentioned but I learnt it online) 6. Straighten 6 times (I lost a lot of hair in this stage because the relentless straightening at 200⁰c is seriously damaging). Like a similar reviewer, my hair also smelt of rotten onions but I just tried not to smell it.The initial result was thinner, straight, bad smelling hair but it did look nice.At night sleep,my hairdresser told me to sleep with my hair hanging off the bed do it stays straight without any impressions in the hair so I did this. I also combed my hair regularly, a few times a day to keep it straight. I also straightened it when I woke up on the second day to reactivate the keratin treatment. I avoided putting anything on my hair so the keratin treatment could continue to work.After 4 days I washed my hair and some waves reappeared which was disappointing and the bad smell hadn't quite gone (another star deducted). It's day 7 now and my hair is frizzy and wavy so basically, after all my hours of research and several hours doing this treatment, the straight frizz free effect hasn't even lasted a week. I'm dreading how my hair will look after the next wash (third star deducted becauseit doesn't last).This treatment deserves 2 star for 1. The initial results (day 1 and 2) look good and give you hope that it'd last2. The presentation of the bottle is nice and at £38 it's not incredibly expensive but don't expect lasting results. Unfortunately, as I bought a new digital hair straightener which regulates the temperature, I ended up spending a lot lot more than this.Pros: May be good for a temporary function. You will still need to continue straightening your hair as you normally do but this may speed up the process a bit, I.e. rather than straightening your hour twice over, you can do it just once over for a few weeks.The bottom line: Would I recommend this to any of my sisters? Certainly not. It's a lot of effort, seriously damaging to the hair, poor instructions, relatively expensive, and unlikely to last more than a week.UPDATE: It's been a week and I washed my hair for the second time. I delayed it because I wasn't confident that the effects of the treatment would last. Well, it didn't last. My hair once again smelt of rotting onions when shampooing it. I conditioned my hair then I left it to dry naturally and it reverted to being curly and frizzy but with the additional damage still there. My hair is still thinner than before the treatment, and dryer with more split ends. This little bottle has caused more damage than I could have imagined. I'm now using olaplex and a tresemme masque in an attempt to restructure/strengthen my hair and restore some moisture.I really thought that because I'd done the research, I knew what I was doing and I've had experience of a professional keratin treatment before that I could easily achieve the desired results, but no. I have no confidence that this product could last 3 months as it advertises as it didn't even last a week for me, despite all my efforts.You're welcome to give it a try. I'd just recommend keeping the bottle and packaging because if/when you need to return it, Amazon won't issue a refund without you sending back the product or original packaging.As for me, even if this were free, I would never again put my hair through this torture and I wouldn't wish it upon someone else so I've downgraded my review to 1 star. :(

Great results, no different to a professional. The real test is, how long it’ll last. It did strip my colour very slightly but I’m used to that and it doesn’t bother me.

Terrible product. Followed instructions only to find this made my hair dry and brittle. So cross - worse than a waste of time and money as now I have to spend more money on some hair masks to get my hair back to where it was.

For my hair

Really works . Great product

First time I used this it was called something else and it worked so well. Used it a few times afterwards and it was ok. This time I used it and all that’s happened is for a few days it was reasonably straight (and orange!) and then it’s back to fluffy and still struggling to get rid of the hint of orange despite using purple shampoos. Wouldn’t buy again which is a shame as it was so much nicer than the other types originally. I wondered whether the formula has changed along with the name?

I never leave reviews but I had to for this one…I have done keratin in salons for over a decade 3 times a year, and decided over the summer to do it at home after hearing some feedback.I was recommended this one by a colleague but after I read the reviews here, I was not convinced and went for a different brand.I was so wrong! The other one didn’t work for me at all, awful smell etc. Don’t think my hair liked it (might be different for others).This one is perfection! Really smooth your hair and makes your styling morning so easy. As good as some of the salons at a fraction of the price. I have a short bob so the process was pretty easy for me. No smell. And my hair is so smooth.Absolutely recommend. And I am a total hair snob!
