The treatment is supposed to coat and protect your hair and make it super shiny (you can get it in colors, but I chose clear). It seems to be big in places like Korea and Japan, according to my research. Both my brow threader and the woman who did my hair manicure are Korean.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but my hair was fried from getting it foiled at the beauty school (I realized they didn't use creme bleach and that is why it dried my hair so badly.) So I wanted to make it feel a bit less like a haystack.
On the day of my hair manicure appointment, I sat in the chair, and the stylist grabbed a tube of product and squeezed it out into one of those little bowls that they put hair color into. She showed me the box and let me look at the tube, but all the writing was in Japanese, so I didn't get much out of it. The product itself looked like thick, white conditioner. I don't know the brand name, but it was similar to this stuff by Loreal.
Next, she sectioned out my hair, applied the manicure stuff to my hair with a brush like hair color, put some cotton around my hairline, slapped on a shower cap and put me under the dryer for about 45 minutes. Or maybe it was 30 minutes. I was looking at Star magazine and reading about Rhianna getting the sh*t beat out of her by Chris Brown, who I hope gets jail time, so I wasn't really watching the time.
After my time was up under the dryer, she washed my hair and styled as normal. The whole shootin' match cost $70 plus tip. Ouch.So, did it work? Well, my hair felt less damaged and looked a tiny bit shinier, but it wasn't drop dead mirror shine. Aaron didn't notice a difference and neither did my Mom. So, I wouldn't do it again. I'm curious if the results are better on Asian hair? But it was worth a try and now I don't have to wonder if it would work for me. And knowing is half the battle.
