Anyone tried the Wella Smoothing Filler treatment?

I've got wavy/frizzy hair and have never managed to get it quite right. I've tried encouraging the waves or straightening but I get lots of frizz and puffiness. I've just seen the Wella Smoothing treatment which looks like a bit like a keratin straightening treatment but less harsh - it apparently only lasts around 12 weeks.

Has anyone tried it?

As a hairdresser who uses Wella colours and also performs lots of keratin blow dries I've researched this.
it's a no from me, I hear it leaves your hair incredibly dry. Wella market as if it's not a keratin treatment but the application etc suggests to me that it is. Some brands are better than others. I have used the gk keratin for around 15 years, my clients love it.

Btw. Keratin doesn't straighten hair. It removes frizz, which does result in a slightly relaxed curl/wave but it's not a straightener.

@pinkpedi thanks for your thoughts. Do other keratin treatments also make your hair dry? I've just come back from holiday and I was looking back at all the pics and my hair just looks terrible so I was hoping to find something that would work!

I guess it depends on what you're starting with and how well the service is performed. All brands are different but the brand I use is great. In 15 years I don't think I've ever had a complaint.
keratin is a protein and an overload of protein on anyone can cause dryness and brittleness. Protein needs to be balanced with moisture
