Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatment: At-Home Brazilian Smoothing System | Forte: Resistant Hair Transformed for Salon-Quality Smoothness, Frizz-Free Results & Faster Styling (16 Oz)

I’ve used this twice now and would recommend it. It is a long and smelly process but the results are worth it to me. I have that annoying middle-ground curly hair where I can get it to curl kind of nice with lots of product and plopping but also takes a good amount of flat ironing to get the frizz out if I want to wear it straight. I have DREAMED about being able to just blow dry my hair and have it look decent and this actually gave me that! Here was my process: 1- double shampoo with clarifying shampoo. 2- blow dry hair completely (no products) 3- wearing gloves, I apply the treatment with a brush. I separated my hair into four sections and after all my hair was covered, I combed it through and let it sit for an hour. —- here comes the miserable part—- 4- I used paper towel to try to absorb any excess product, then used my blow dryer brush to blow dry. This takes A LONG TIME. In the summer I do it outside but in winter I set up in front of my patio door with a mirror and a fan blowing straight at me to try to blow the fumes outside. I still wear gloves when I am blow drying. 5- I set my flat iron at 430 and in small sections make SEVERAL passes over each section (maybe 8-10 times each section). The fumes are the worst during this part. Once I’m done flat ironing, I collapse in exhaustion. Just kidding, but seriously you have to be committed to this and set aside 3-5 hours. Apparently you can wash your hair right away again after flat ironing but I try to wait 48 hours to “lock it in”. Whether it actually makes a difference, I’m not sure, but after putting a whole evening into doing this, I just want to be done. I’ve attached two pictures of the fuzzball that is my hair after blow drying before, another picture after I completed the process, and lastly after the first was with just using a blow dryer - no flat ironing! I will say that I find I have to wash my hair more frequently after doing the treatment because I feel like it gets greasy faster, but the fact that I can take 3 minutes blow drying my hair and it looking like I flat ironed it is incredible to me. I use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prolonge the results (I like the EverPure line from L’Oréal or the Native brand.) TLDR - mentally prepare yourself for a long, smelly process but it’s worth it!!

I was lazy and put off this review, but it’s been about a month and my hair is almost as glossy & frizz free as when I first did the treatment. So I expect that next time I do it, the results will be even better! I naturally have a lot of wavy, frizzy, tangled prone hair. After using this product however, I don’t really have these issues anymore. It’s very manageable now, and I have less breakage. My hair is also very strong and straight. All my little flyaways & baby hairs do not curl up and look crazy in humidity anymore. Before I would use a ton of hairspray to try to tame the flyways, but the results could not even compare to what this product does for my hair. While using this product I personally do not wash my hair until I have to. Despite the instructions saying you can immediately. I like to wait as long as I can before washing. There is one downside though, my hair used to have a lot of natural volume. I could flip my hair a few times and have incredible volume. But now it stays flat unless I use a root spray. My hair also has difficulty with holding curls now even with styling products. Another issue is a lot of my wavy hair products I used before that worked well on my hair, now weigh down my hair a ton and no longer work for me. I also have to wash my hair more frequently now, I used to be able to go almost a full week without washing. My hair now gets noticeably greasy after 2-3 days. I figured I would mention this because I was expecting it to be more sleek, and shiny, with less flyways. But it actually changed the texture, appearance, and the way my hair normally acts. If you are a proud wavy/curly girl, I’m not sure if you want to use this because it may permanently change that for you! I personally don’t mind it because I hated dealing with my hair before, looking forward to my next treatment. I probably have a good 5 treatments left too, so it’s worth the price! Make sure to use gloves, and apply in a well ventilated area. Not only do you not want to breath in the fumes, but they can also irritate your eyes! Next time I do mine, I’m going to do it outside. Edit (follow): It’s now November 2023, and I’m still a fan of this product. The chemicals are very strong but I’ve done about 4 spaced out treatments so far since I got it. And the parts that are treated look different from my natural hair. I now have a long lasting Pantene commercial shine on my hair. Staying it has become a bit more difficult now because my hair is now stays straighter and is more “slippery” than normal. So it no longer holds a curl like it used to without either doing it overnight or using a lot of heat. Overtime it’s become a lot less frizzy and naturally more manageable. I also still have a good portion of the bottle left (about 6 treatments I would say!) The chemicals do burn the eyes though so I normally do this outside or in a room with the window/fan on with a mask because it’s intense. But the effect it has on my hair is just worth it to me.

My hair is constantly reverting back after a press out, sometimes within hours. Because of this I decided to give this a try and I’m so glad I did! I have coarse 3c/4a high porosity hair. When it is humid outside my hair reverts to curly everytime. However this product has already shown great results. My hair has been straight for the past 48 hours which is RARE for me. I have not washed my hair but I have taken a shower and still my hair is straight. I’m so happy with this! For the product I did buy their clarifying shampoo and I followed the instructions by keeping this product on for 60 minutes. PLEASE KNOW when you blow this out you MUST be in a well ventilated area because the FUMES almost knocked me out. But tbh it was worth it. I have tape ins in but because of the treatment you can barely tell where my hair stars and the extensions begin! I will be using this product again! I love it so far!!

Good and effective but why now the price is high than before.

A great product. It actually works and now I don't have to chemically treat my hair anymore as this Brazilian Blowdry does a similar job without it snapping off. So pleased and will buy again. Just a tip, open your windows as you should do when applying any Brazilian Blowdry as this is a salon product. Ignore any negative feedback. Just follow the instructions and it will work. My hair is so much better and smoother.

I love it. It didn’t damage my hair or my curls i used it on my hair and after a while the product went away and my curls were back.

The product is awful do not buy it it almost killed me It hurts even the throat It is toxic and cause suffocation it releases gases worst tear bomb I regret buying it
