    Stripped and permanently messed up color

    I have had Brazilian, Cezanne, FIOS, B12, Coppola keratin and I have to say this is the worst. The other reviewer talked about the smell. It SMELLS like formaldehyde. Just for anyone out there kidding themselves about these new keratin and smoothing treatments supposedly not containing formaldehyde....well, they all MAKE it during the heating process whether it’s added in or not. Anyway the smell is horrid. I’m using the proper shampoo that is not only sulfate free but sodium chloride free and my hair still feels like straw when wet even w conditioner and leave in conditioner. And finally the worst part is that I’ve hair my hair colored TWICE in about 5 weeks of doing the Agave and I still can’t get the color back to normal. It’s as though it’s deposited some metals or something that’s turning the color brassy every time. Huge waste of money for the treatment and then trying to color correct after! NEVER again.

    Amazing

    When done correctly. This product is life changing. A few of.the reviews listed sound like they weren't done properly at all. You don't need to wait more than 2o mins to wash your hair out. I felt like my hair was instantly softer and stronger. A girl I know also had so much of her frizz and curl reduced.

    Creates dry hair n doesn’t last

    I had the treatment done end of may and I went to Hilton head mid June the weather was very humid and my hair frizzed as much as if I hadn’t treated hair. My hair is now more dry than prior to treatment.

    In May 2015 I had the Agave Smoothing Treatment done to my hair at a salon in Toronto, ON. It is now May 2016 and the treatment has grown out, leaving the roots of my hair frizzy and curly - the way it is naturally. Pros: It works! The treatment left my hair straight and sleek, wash after wash. The products the salon sold me to maintain the results, like the shampoo, conditioner and, oil also work and smell great. Cons: If it wasn't for the price, I would do this treatment again. It also left my hair with no volume.

    8 months ago I had a keratin treatment, no formaldehyde, and it left my hair smooth and shiny, but much less body than it had before. It looked really pretty, even though my hair is fine. My current salon only uses agave, so I decided to give it a try. It was the same price as the keratin, $150. After the treatment, I had to leave it in my hair until the next day, which was the first problem. My hair was flat on my head and it also had the color bleached out leaving it looking and feeling disgusting. Instead of light brown with blond highlights, it turned brassy strawberry blond, awful with my skin coloring.
    The next morning, I couldn't wait to wash it out. My hair had NO body and can't hold a curl from a curling iron for more than 2-3 hours. My color had to be corrected and new highlights added over the next 2 months at an additional cost. It still has no body or wave and I hate it. Don't ever do this process unless you want to ruin your hair. I may do keratin in another year, but never agave!

    I have been regularly getting this for a year now. Prior to agave, I used the old formaldehyde keratin treatments. The older treatment lasted longer but my hair stayed straight forever. There came a time last year when I decided to grow my curly hair out and try to wear it curly. Impossible until the old keratin treated hair grew out. Now I use agave knowing I have more options for my hair. It's growing faster (no breakage) looks healthier and fuller. And I know I will be able to wear it curly if I want to later. By the way, I live in Florida in very humid conditions and have fine very curly frizzy hair.

    My hair was extremely damaged and I just absolutely love this product. I was getting keratin treatments done in the past. The problem is the keratin contains formaldehyde and starts to ruin the hair with long term use. The Agave is all natural and does not harm your hair I just love it!

    I am a professional stylist and have been using the product on my clients. first i want to comment on the smell people claim they are getting....the product has a slight caramelized sweet smell...my only complaint is that it is a little smokey...For the person who said the product did not take...you must make sure that all of the steps were done...pre-wash hair...for hair that is a little coarser or thinker...i recommend letting the product sit a few extra minutes before blowdrying and flat ironing....i also recommend that you let a professional do the process on your hair. below are pictures of my daughter before and after.....i've actually done the process on coarser hair and it works marvelously....

    I have NO idea why people are saying it smells .. I have been doing my Grand daughters hair for over a year with it she is 9 .

    she is mixed with curly hair and her hair was driving me crazy in the morning ..

    Now with agave it is so easy to fix her hair and she LOVES it .

    I wash it after the treatment ,, and their is NEVER a smell left over .

    It last at least 3 months for her ... you have to MAKE SURE you use ( Sulfate FREE )
    products on your hair or the treatment WON"T last .

    we spent 5 weeks in Florida last summer she was swimming every day and the treatment held up :)

    We are VERY happy with this treatment :)
