I got keratin treatment, it looked so good on the day but then everything went wrong & now my locks are ruined
A TRAUMATISED woman has revealed the awful experience she had when she went into a salon to get a keratin treatment only to find that her hair began to fall out.
The TikTok user, who is known as @username133431 on the social media platform, appeared on the screen with her healthy-looking, straight, long mane as she told viewers: “Keratin treatment ruined my hair”.
“This was before, it’s way thinner now,” she added with a crying emoji.
Several other photos showed her looking incredible with her brunette mane taking centre stage in each location.
She then shared a clip after having the keratin done, where a hairdresser could be seen taking a red comb to lift her hair up.
“Day of treatment,” she wrote, as the hairdresser showed off her work.
However, just three days later, the woman was left devastated as her hair began falling out.
Sharing a photo of the top of her head, where the damage could be seen, she wrote: “Fell out 3 days later for 2 weeks straight then month later saw new hair growth”.
A series of snaps, presumably taken during that month, showed how baby hairs started coming through at the crown of her head.
Later, it grew to such an extent that she could make a mini plait at the back of her hair with the short strands.
“I ain’t ever going to a hair salon again in my life,” she captioned the video montage, clearly traumatised by the experience.
People flocked to the comments as one person questioned why she would even get the treatment when her hair looked “already smooth”.
“I know right I’m so stupid, I always hated my natural hair so maybe I needed this to learn to love it,” the TikTok user replied in a candid post.
When another viewer asked why she opted to get the treatment done in the first place, she replied: “I saw a girl with such smooth hair and she told me that’s what she got and I just made an impulsive decision and got it”.
Another person revealed something similar happened to them as they questioned: “How did you get it to grow back??” before adding: “This happened to me”.
She responded: “Wow really it does it too so many people it’s crazy. And it has been exacally a year but I also take priorin hair pills !” [sic]
In a second video, the same woman appeared with her half long, half very short mane, over which she wrote: “People probably think my real hair is this short and I have extensions in LOL”.
In the caption, she added: “My mom said I need therapy for my hair cuz I can’t stop looking at it”.
After one person suggested she do layers to work around the awkward lengths, she explained: “Its way to short for layers if they cut it that high but it’s kind of longer now soon I’m gonna do layers haha”. [sic]
