I'm feeling a bit 
and 
Not sure whether I expected too much?
Yesterday I finally plucked up the courage to have one of those keratin Brazilina blow dry treatments and I am wondering now if I've made a mistake.
I was under the impression that the treatment would be applied and then I'd get my hair blow dried into the shape/style that I like, that the blow dry would 'set' the treatment and that it would pretty much stay like that for at least three months and possibly up to five.
My hair is fine, medium to long, and terribly prone to frizz, especially in humidity. I prefer to get it blow dried it with lots of volume at the roots and to have some swishy bounce and a slight curl to it.
The stylist showed me the brochure for the Kerastase treatment and asked me whether I wanted a straightened/flat finish or whether I preferred my hair naturally wavy and bouncy. I told him I preferred the second.
He cut some off the length (great) added the product and waited 40 mins (great) rough blow dried it (fine) and then proceeded to straighten it with straighteners all over in tiny sections. I presumed this was to 'lock in' the product and activate it, but I didn't expect the final look to be one of flat-ironed poker straight hair. He then did some dry cutting on my layers (great) and that was it - off I went. I asked if I could get a more bouncy voluminous look and he said 'of course, you just blow dry it.'
But I could always do that anyway, couldn't I? So presumably if I don't bother to blow dry my hair it will just look thin and limp and poker straight, but at least it won't be unruly and frizzy. Is that it? It looks all a bit 'Teenager let loose on the GHDs circa 2005' at the moment, which on my fine hair and given that I am pushing 50 is less than ideal.
I had high hopes of jumping out of bed each morning looking all bouncy and swishy and full of volume.
