KATIVA Brazilian Straightening Kit

Was skeptical to use this, as it cost so much at the salon. After much research this came back as the best one to use and the price is great! Very pleased with results! 1st pic is before treatment and after, 2nd pic is after the first wash and a rough blow dry....no straighteners needed!

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

It works, I have frizzy full on curls. It has smoothed my hair out. It does make your hair smell bad, but after putting products in like serum and a hair gliss it went away. Will definitely purchase again. It does take ages to do, my hair felt awful when I blow dried the product in. It was very hard to manage. When you iron your hair it will smoke but the hair starts to feel smoother.

It is one of the best product that ever tried in my life. Doesn’t smell at all for the beginning I was scary because I have a small baby but doesn’t affect at all. It’s very nice product. It’s shining it’s keeping the hair very very nice. I will keep this product like my regular product for the hair.

This product worked amazing before I washed it and then it went back curly an make my hair reek it smelt absolutely disgusting it would just be easier to kill my hair by straightening my hair every day. Then since it smelt so bad I washed my hair multiple times with nice smelling shampoo an it still smells bad. Also this wouldnt of been a huge problem if it didn't take me 3and a half hours to do. So all round this was a really bad product not worth the money. 😡😡😡the first photo was before wash and the other photo was after and it got rid of the curls I had before and now it's just a frizz bomb do not recomend to buy...

This is brilliant. You have to be patient, but it really works. No more making sure I don't get caught in the rain.

The product is truly worth the money never expected my hair will ever look so nice straight and smooth done the job!! But it did took my hair off completely from black to red brown not satisfied at all + after it you can't wash your hair with product containing sulfate what is not good if you have sensitive flacky scalp other waise it washes the product out

Product worked perfectly on my hair but my hair only had an annoying kink on one side that made my hair stick out unless Straightened everyday. It has made my hair smooth and straight all over. Process is time consuming on the drying and straightening part and I have relatively short hair. On long hair I imagine it would be a bore to do, make sure you have plenty of time for that part of the process. Now to see how long it lasts. I'm a swimmer so will be interest to see how Chlorine effects it if at all.
