Wasted $180 on a keratin smoothing kit that fried 3 of my clients' hair
I bought this keratin kit at a beauty supply store in Dallas for $180 because the sales rep swore it was gentle enough for fine hair. Did my first client on a Tuesday, and by Thursday she was back in my chair with hair snapping off at the crown. I ended up having to do deep conditioning treatments for free on all three clients I used it on, so I ate about $300 in lost time and product. Now I'm terrified to try any new smoothing system without testing it on a mannequin head first. Has anyone found a keratin treatment that actually works on fine, color-treated hair without frying it?

Have you ever tried a product that made you question every choice you've ever made as a stylist? I once tested a smoothing kit on my own hair first, and let me tell you, I looked like a poodle that lost a fight with a flat iron for two weeks. My rule now is simple: mannequin first, then a patch test on a willing friend, and only then a paying client.
