Warning: chemical relaxing vs. keratin smoothing on African American hair

I had a client last month who wanted to switch from monthly relaxers to a keratin smoothing treatment. After 6 years of chemical relaxers, her ends were brittle and breaking at the root. I told her to try the keratin route first on a test strand. The difference was night and day - her hair kept its curl pattern and felt strong, not mushy. Has anyone else seen better results switching clients to keratin treatments over traditional relaxers?

Same thing happens with skincare routines people stick with too long.

Yeah it's like people just expect things to keep working until they obviously don't.

Nah, I see it differently - sometimes you just get comfortable with what works.
