I heard about Keratin treatments at salons that supposed to get rid of the frizz, but didn't want to pay the exorbitant price for the process - enter Lasio Rio de Keratin Hair Treatment Kit! A do-it-yourself home kit that is designed to give you smooth, frizz-free hair for up to a month!

Rio de Keratin's Cocolada Treatment works by coating dry, damaged hair with keratin proteins. What makes it different from salon-grade products is its all-natural ingredients and the fact that you can do this at home!

Kit includes:

• Cocolada Keratin Treatment 4 oz.
• Cocolada Shampoo 4 oz.
• Cocolada Conditioner 4 oz.
• Comb
• Set of gloves

My Review

I've always wished I had the typical straight, sleek Asian hair so many have, yet I've been blessed (cursed?) with the wavy, thick, coarse hair that loves to frizz out uncontrollably. Which means I put a ton of hair products and flat iron it to death. But now I can do something different!

The whole process for me took about 2 hours to do by myself and I have hair that goes down to mid-back. So make sure you have time set aside to do this process the right way. This included everything from taking a shower all the way till I was ready to head outside, so times can vary depending how long your hair is, how long you take showers, etc etc.

The process is to wash your hair with shampoo only (no conditioner), blow dry, then with gloves on and hair sectioned, spray on keratin treatment on each section and comb through to make sure each strand is coated, blow dry again, and finally flat iron to a straight sleek finish. It was relatively easy treatment to do on your own, just need the time to do it.

I used the shampoo which smells great (coconutty!) and the keratin spray is easy to apply but the fumes did make my eyes burn and sneeze alot when I was applying to my hair. I am not sure if that's a common reaction or me having sensitive eyes/nose.
