What is a BK treatment?

In an Instagram post, Howe Hair described the BK hair treatment as a versatile and effective progressive smoothing treatment, guaranteeing a sleek finish on all hair types. With its formula based on active ingredients from the Amazon rainforest, it also replenishes nutrients and strengthens hair.

"It protects the strands from the friction caused by the iron in addition to providing intense reduction of frizz and volume in the hair, leaving it naturally smooth and shiny."
