Q: I would like to cut my hair as well. When should I do this?

A: We recommend trimming or cutting the hair after you perform the treatment. Your split ends can sometimes be more evident post BKT.

Q: Can I touch up my hair with the treatment?

A. We do not recommend doing touch-ups. BKT works best when applied to the whole head.

Q: What shampoo should I use to maintain my beautiful hair?

A: Please take a look at our line of shampoos and conditioners. All are without sulfates and are organic- ideal for maintaining those perfect locks. Sodium-free shampoo has been proven to extend the results of your treatment. Additionally, sodium-free shampoo is ideal with or without the treatment.

Q: The Instructions for the treatment seem time-consuming. Can I skip any steps?

A: No. No. No. Due to our unique same-day formula, it is imperative that you follow all steps exactly for described results.

Q: The last brand I used made me wait 4 days before washing my hair. Can I do the same with your treatment?

A. That is not necessary at all. The best thing about our treatment is that you don't have to do that.

Q: Can I perform this treatment on myself?

A: We do not recommend this. Not only are our products for professional use and should be used with the assistance of a licensed professional, but without the help of someone, it is hard to monitor the coverage of the treatment. 

Q: What can I do to alleviate any sensitivity to the product?

A: Ventilation is key. Avoid small areas. Windows and fans are ideal. Always use gloves and a mask. If eyes are particularly sensitive, a warm wet cloth over the face will help defer fumes.
