drugstore treasure: project sleek & shine

so i've been very curious with the new fad of doing the keratin to your hair and
i've been contemplating it for a looooong time. i just haven't had the balls
to commit. what if i don't like it? what if it doesn't look good?
WHAT IF MY HAIR FALLS OUT???!?!!?!?!?

yeah, ummmmm, no thank you!

well you don't know how happy i was when i saw
Garnier Fructis came out with their
sleek & shine blow dry perfector
(queue the heaven music please)





i was soooooo excited to try it out but still had my mix feelings-
until i saw a review in Glamour Magazine that raved on how good
this product was for those that did not want to
commit to the full treatment.
UMMM WERE YOU TALKING TO ME?!?!

the clincher was when they said that it was actually
better for your hair because the formula isn't
as strong as the actual treatment, decreasing the damage to your hair (if any)

now little ole me goes to Rite Aid with my big ole cheese smile and
purchased this magic in a bottle. how happy was i at the price tag? ECSTATIC!
this baby was only $12.99!!! so if i didn't end up liking it the
damage was nowhere compared to the
$300 to $500 price tag on the keratin treatment.
RING ME UP PLEASE :)

UNFORTUNATELY this was two weeks ago,
when i so conveniently also purchased my hair dye to
add a shade darker to my strands. yes well little ole me
decided to read the box while the hair dye got to work on my strands.
"CAUTION: DO NOT USE BEFORE 14 DAYS OF DYING YOUR HAIR"
what???? so wth do i do now???? UGGGGHHHH PLANS RUINED.

well last night i was finally able to put this baby to work
and to say that i was happy with the results is an understatement!!

before

(well not really before but this is my natural curly hair hehehe)

after blow dry



after flat iron


it says that the treatment is activated with heat so they recommend that you flat iron it after it's blow dried

so what do you guys think?? i personally love it.

i wanted to really test it out so i slept with my hair lose.
when i would wake up, before the treatment, my hair would
be all frizzy and curly again. this morning i woke up with it perfect!!
then i went to the gym and when i came home and
let it down it was still perfect! no clip creases or anything.
yeah- i'm sold!!

garnier fructis says: Now you can achieve the perfect, bouncy-blow dry. One application of this innovative, 2-step smoothing kit . Tames frizz . Keeps hair smooth and shiny . Provides easier, faster blow dries . Lasts 7 shampoos

i'm def going to put this product to the test so
i will be updating you guys after each shampoo and
so we can both see if it really lasts and how good it keeps up.
stay tuned!!!

have you tried it? what did you think? let me know!!
