Which witch are you? In the world of witchcraft and wizardry, there are countless types of witches, each with their own unique abilities, strengths, and personalities. Whether you are a beginner exploring the magical arts or a seasoned witch, it can be fascinating to consider which type of witch you resonate with the most. Firstly, there are the elemental witches. These witches draw their power from one of the four elements: earth, air, fire, or water. Earth witches are deeply connected to nature, plants, and animals. They can manipulate the earth and create powerful potions using natural ingredients.

WHICH KERATIN TREATMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Spring, summer & the humid months are approaching. although not quite quick enough for me!
You know what that means? It's time to start thinking about our keratin treatments!
You've all heard of them. they're basically a magical treatment that allows for more manageable, frizz free hair. You know, eliminate frizz without completely removing the curl, cut your blow dry time in half & help with shine.
But there's so many on the market & the terminology so confusing.
I'm sure you've heard tons of words being thrown around from smoothing treatment, to Keratin, Brazilian & Magic Sleek. Some of these are services & some brands under the umbrella term of "keratin."
The one thing they all have in common is their use of the keratin protein to achieve their results. What makes them different is what other ingredients they include & how the service is completed.
Let's break down the most popular three & hopefully help you decide which is right for you.
KERATIN COMPLEX
Strength - In my humble opinion, the Keratin Complex will often leave the hair looking the straightest so it's best for thicker, curlier hair that is more resistant to treatments, or for someone looking for more of a flat ironed look. You may get the straightest appearance but the least shiny & conditioned looking. Also the Keratin Complex is pretty much a one size fits all approach to treatments & not very customizable.
Amount of Time in Salon - This is one of the lengthier services because of how it processes & the amount of times it needs to be flat ironed so be prepared for a lengthier time in the salon. depending on the length & fullness of your hair it could be upward of three hours. So bring a snack & your cell phone charger, or be prepared to fall into a flat iron coma.
Cost - As you may have guessed, because you are taking up a chunk of a stylist's work day, this is one of the pricier options.
Length - Your hair should stay smooth for approximately 3 months depending on your hair's porosity & your lifestyle. If you're spending your entire summer in the pool, ocean or lake & are washing your hair every day, it will certainly last less.
Aftercare - Okay, here is where Keratin Complex is a bit of a bitch. You cannot wash your hair or get it wet, put it in a ponytail, put sunglasses on your head or anything else that may put a dent in your hair for a full 72 hours. not so much fun. You can color your hair immediately before the service, but cannot color it after for a full 14 days. You also must use their coordinating shampoo & conditioner, or a sulfate free option. The treatment will just wash out over time. you won't have the nasty regrowth you would have with a chemical straightener.
Safety - The Keratin Complex seems to be a safe option.
** I should also mention that they offer a Keratin Express which is also an amazing option for someone who wants the result of the Keratin Complex for a shorter amount of time.
BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT
Strength - In my findings, I think the Brazilian gets the hair very smooth but is not quite as straight as the Keratin Complex. It completely kills the frizz though & leaves the hair looking more shiny & conditioned. One amaaaazing aspect of the Brazilian is that it can be customized to the client's needs, without compromising the results. For example, if a client has a fragile hairline, but still desperately wants lift at the crown, or wants it as straight as possible, you can tweak the amount of smoothing solution you use, the temperature of your flatiron, or how many swipes of the flat iron you do, to get the client the exact result you want. So basically you can work with your stylist to get your own individual results. Which is a pretty great feature.
Amount of Time in Salon - The Brazilian requires no processing time & not as small of sections when flat ironing, so this service tends to go much quicker.
Cost - Because of the smaller amount of time in the salon, the Brazilian tends to be less expensive.
Length - Same as Keratin Complex.
Aftercare - Here is where the Brazilian shines like a star. You completely bypass the 72 hour torture period & just go about your life with fabulous hair. You still need to wait 14 days for color again, & the company strongly suggests their shampoos, etc. for best results. but again sulfate free at the minimum.
Safety - This is where Brazilian gets a bad rap. The Brazilian has formaldehyde-like ingredients that can be a cause for concern over repeated exposure. So make sure you're getting it done in a well ventilated area & a mask wouldn't hurt. But if you're getting it done only a few times a year it should be fine. It's more of an issue for the service provider who is being constantly exposed.
P.S. You can head over to my instagram to see me do a full Brazilian Blowout!
After our appointment, Crooks sent me on my way with Magic Sleek's line of shampoo and conditioner, which she recommended I use to help the treatment last as long as possible (as mentioned, the fewer shampoos in general, the better).
Fire witches are passionate and fierce. They command flames and can create and control fire with ease. Water witches, finally, harness the power of the tides. They can manipulate water, predict the weather, and excel in healing magic. Next, there are the witches who specialize in certain types of magic. For example, there are green witches who focus on herbalism, enchanting their potions and spells with the healing properties of plants and flowers. They are nurturing and have a deep understanding of the natural world. Then there are the kitchen witches who use the power of cooking and baking to create magic. They infuse their dishes with intentions and use their culinary skills to manifest their desires. There are also the cosmic witches who channel the energies of the stars and planets. They are skilled in astrology and use celestial movements to guide their magical workings. Similarly, there are sea witches who have an affinity for the ocean and the creatures that dwell within it. They are often associated with water witches but have a particular connection to the maritime world. Finally, there are dark witches who embrace the shadowy side of magic. These witches tap into the depths of their power, using it for protection, defense, and sometimes even manipulation. They are often misunderstood but possess an undeniable strength. Whichever type of witch you resonate with, always remember that magic is a personal journey. Embrace your uniqueness and explore the aspects of witchcraft that speak to your soul. There are no rules or limitations when it comes to being a witch – it is a path of self-discovery and growth. So, whether you are an elemental witch, a magical kitchen witch, or anything in between, embrace your witchy nature and let your powers shine..
