KATIVA Brazilian Straightening Kit

what a game changer! My hair is long, thick and very frizzy. I've spent about 4 hours doing this treatment today and I've just rough blow-dried my hair and it's straight, shiny and not frizzy at all. It's a lengthy process and my arms and back are in agony now but absolutely worth it. Make sure you follow the instructions to a T, there are loads of videos on YouTube of people doing this so I followed those for extra help. Make sure you comb out as much excess product as you can before blow drying! You need a ventilated room, I was sat next to an open window when I was straightening the product into my hair but it set my smoke alarm off 4 times 😂 I'm so happy, it normally takes me 20 mins to dry my hair and 40 mins to straighten it, this rough dry took 5 mins and my hair looks perfect. This is going to save me HOURS!

This is the first time I have used this product, I have previously had treatment done in Salons twice at £150 a time. I come across this on here and thought I would give it ago. Applying the treatment was time, although I applied to to thicker sections at a time than it mentions but applied well and I still had product left at the end. I had difficulty with the drying stage as it states that hair needs to be dry, which is difficult when having product on hair, my hair takes a long time to dry as it is. But I done the best I could. When straightening, again, I done bigger sections than stated, and it does smoke slightly due to product and I probably had more excess on there due to struggling with the drying. But I found going over sections not too slow and more times helped. When rinsing product off in the shower it felt so much better straight away, applied shampoo twice as first time didn't lather enough but much better second time and then applied provided conditioner. When started drying at a downwards angle without brush, it was drying so smooth and soft with a great shine. Finished off with straightening which took no time at all. End result, I am very pleased, my hair is smooth with no frizz, lovely and straight with a beautiful shine. Will await to see what my hair is like after a night's sleep. Looking at what shampoo and conditioner to purchase, to avoid sulfates and salt, have taken a look at kativa option, hasn't got great feedback but I have looked at the ingredients and it doesn't have the ones you should avoid. I think people are weary because there are alot of ingredients out there that are similar and they assume they are the same thing. Which they are not. So I think I'm going to give kativa shampoo and conditioner ago and see how I get on with it and decide for myself. Great value for what the end result is, fingers crossed it lasts a while with strict up keep, if so I would definitely buy again as it has saved me like £140

It works, I have frizzy full on curls. It has smoothed my hair out. It does make your hair smell bad, but after putting products in like serum and a hair gliss it went away. Will definitely purchase again. It does take ages to do, my hair felt awful when I blow dried the product in. It was very hard to manage. When you iron your hair it will smoke but the hair starts to feel smoother.

It’s definitely worth it. The process takes some time so you have to be patient but the results are amazing. I made sure to shut my bedroom door and open the windows for ventilation because the fumes are strong. Just be mindful of smoke detectors since the chemicals can set off the fire alarm. 😊

Straightened my hair... Until I washed it? Followed all of the steps to the T - Straightened my hair and thought wow, it lasted until my next hair wash and then POOF, the curls were back with a vengeance. Don't know if mine was a dud or what. Feel like I wasted my money honestly.

amazing. i have frizzy wavy hair and damaged from highlights. this product has made my hair look way healthier/shiny/soft and saves hours of straightening time. i only did it a few days ago tho so curious to see how long it lasts. it does take about 3.5 hours in total for me tho so allot of work but deffo worth it. also the smell is quite strong and i know it has warnings but i got some on my neck and it is very itchy so make sure u be careful. the photos below show the before and after, the after i didn’t even use a straightener!!! only hair dryer. overall amazing would recommend and repurchase

I don’t usually leave reviews but I was so impressed with this product. Cheaper than one I have used in the past and also great that you don’t need to leave it on for 3+ days. The mask itself was fine although I did find it hard to to keep it away from scalp. The blow dry with mask on took ages as did the straightening. It took me about 2.5 - 3 hours in total to complete treatment. But when I finally finished I had no frizz after blow-drying and didn’t need to use straighteners. Have also since washed hair and still no frizz. I used the post straighten shampoo and conditioner (separate product, £9-£11 for both) which probably helped. Will see how long it lasts but at the moment plan to use it again in the future.

The product is truly worth the money never expected my hair will ever look so nice straight and smooth done the job!! But it did took my hair off completely from black to red brown not satisfied at all + after it you can't wash your hair with product containing sulfate what is not good if you have sensitive flacky scalp other waise it washes the product out
