KATIVA Brazilian Straightening Kit

Easy to use, smell wasn’t bad I used a fan while ironing my hair so I didn’t notice any smell. My hair is softer and easier to manage now. It’s a fraction of the price I would have paid to get it done in the salon so I am very happy about this product! Deserves a 5 star.My hair is colored and I did notice a slight change is color but not an issue for me.

I’m not really one for reviews but I bought this full of apprehension and wanted to let others know how amazing it is! I’m such a “it will grow back” with my hair and we did a dodgy home perm. Right before my holidays 😭 I had an emergency condition at the hair dressers but as soon as the heat hit it was a giant mass of mess! I ordered this whilst I was still away and it was delivered as I got home and I did it straight away. It is a lengthy process and the combing through is a right pain but persevere! My hair is lovely, straight and so soft. Half way through I thought I’d just made it worse but that last condition and blow dry it feels amazing!! I’d 100% recommend x

Really does work but doing it yourself you may miss a bit . Only fault it has started to wave in parts after 1 month so don’t think it will still be straight after 3 months as advertised so think I may need to repeat after 2months

This is the first time I have used this product, I have previously had treatment done in Salons twice at £150 a time.I come across this on here and thought I would give it ago.Applying the treatment was time, although I applied to to thicker sections at a time than it mentions but applied well and I still had product left at the end.I had difficulty with the drying stage as it states that hair needs to be dry, which is difficult when having product on hair, my hair takes a long time to dry as it is. But I done the best I could.When straightening, again, I done bigger sections than stated, and it does smoke slightly due to product and I probably had more excess on there due to struggling with the drying. But I found going over sections not too slow and more times helped.When rinsing product off in the shower it felt so much better straight away, applied shampoo twice as first time didn't lather enough but much better second time and then applied provided conditioner.When started drying at a downwards angle without brush, it was drying so smooth and soft with a great shine. Finished off with straightening which took no time at all.End result, I am very pleased, my hair is smooth with no frizz, lovely and straight with a beautiful shine. Will await to see what my hair is like after a night's sleep.Looking at what shampoo and conditioner to purchase, to avoid sulfates and salt, have taken a look at kativa option, hasn't got great feedback but I have looked at the ingredients and it doesn't have the ones you should avoid. I think people are weary because there are alot of ingredients out there that are similar and they assume they are the same thing. Which they are not. So I think I'm going to give kativa shampoo and conditioner ago and see how I get on with it and decide for myself.Great value for what the end result is, fingers crossed it lasts a while with strict up keep, if so I would definitely buy again as it has saved me like £140

The worst keratin treatment I’ve ever used. The results are poor – after the first wash, my hair looked almost the same. I spent 3 hours applying it and my hair doesn’t even feel nourished. A complete waste of time and money .

I bought this product to tame my fringe. I have thick wavy blond coloured hair and my fringe tends to go curly in high humidity. I noticed the reviews were variable but most were positive so decided to give it a go.I followed the instructions to the letter, it isn't the quickest process but worth taking time over. I didn't experience much in the way of a bad smell but then I was only BBDing a small section of hair. It did take time to dry with the product on and it looked very strange when straightened, but after 5 minutes resting, a wash and condition, and blow dry, my fringe was perfectly smooth and shiny and apparently in better condition than previously! There was some colour lifting, but as I am 'blond' it wasnt very noticeable.The real test for me was going for a walk on a damp January day, and then later sleeping on it. I am pleased to say my fringe stayed smooth and straight, and one week on it continues the same. I'll be interested to see what it is like in 7 more weeks, although it will have grown out a bit by then. I have mixture left so will see if it keeps for a top up, but if I have to buy a new pack I will because I am so pleased with the results.I expect a whole head experience would be more fiddly and unpleasant smell-wise, so perhaps engage help with application, residue removal, drying and straightening!?To be recommended!

I have wavy, frizzy coloured hair, just under my shoulder blades. Having tried other kits in the past I decided to try this one out as it can be washed off after applying the treatment without having to wait days with it. Unfortunately after washing it has be shaped with heat (unlike others brands) otherwise it’s still frizzy. I blow dry it and then use a heated brush and takes a few brushes to make the hair shine, but still is not what I was looking for.It also does change the colour if bleached, but nothing that a blue shampoo can’t get back to.The shampoo and conditioner that comes in the box are not nice and tangled my hair, I used them once and then binned them.
