Today is Day One using the Blow Dry Perfector. It is supposed to last through seven shampoo's. I only wash my hair every other day because of how dry it is (my fault for getting highlights) so this will be a two week process.
I washed my hair without conditioning as per the instructions on the box. After towel drying my hair I put it around my shoulders to prevent the product from dripping onto my robe. The instructions state that this product does not stain, but I want to be safe. I really like my pretty robe!!
Then I applied the 20-minute Smooth-It Serum thoroughly to my hair. OH-MY-GOSH! This stuff stunk SO bad that my daughter, who was in another room, came out to ask what smelled bad. I'd have to say the smell was a cross between really bad B-O and a rotten drain. Yes. It was that bad. I had to leave this stuff on for 20 whole minutes!! I went on their website to make sure this was normal and that I wasn't putting bad product on my hair. Thankfully I wasn't killing my hair; the website said that the bad smell means it's working. It is formulated with protein building blocks, found naturally in hair, to smooth and tame unmanageable hair. I didn't realize protein building blocks stunk so bad.
I actually left it on for 30 minutes because my hair has been so dry lately. After, I rinsed it out without re-shampooing. Whew! It felt great to get that smell off my head!! (True story: The kids yelled at the dog because they thought HE had passed gas but it was my hair!! I never told them that it wasn't the dog! How low am I?!)
I once again towel dried my hair and applied the Heat-Activated Perfect-It Cream, with natural rice oil, which is supposed to seal in lasting smoothness and conditioning, and to create a weightless, humidity-resistant barrier to frizz. This stuff didn't smell at all so I applied it and combed it through. I then blow dried my hair like normal. One thing I noticed is that my hair was a lot sleeker. It felt like my fingers glided through my hair as I dried it. When I finished flat-ironing it, I wasn't sure if it was any shinier than normal because of the over processing (had my hair highlighted 6 weeks earlier and it's been frizzy ever since) but it definitely FELT smoother.
My daughter said, "Mom your hair feels nice but man it smelled BAAAAAD!!"
