Re-Bonded hair and Keratin treatment?

Re-Bonded hair and Keratin treatment?
Sorry if this sound dumb but can a re-bonded hair undergo keratin treatment? I have my hair recently re-bonded. it's my second time and i am not satisfied with the result... My hair is frizzy and coarse unlike the first re-bond, (special the right side)... i did go back to the same salon, same stylist, but I think they used a different chemical for my hair so that's why it turned out like this... that or the other person who ironed my hair suck big time (there were two people doing my hair and the new stylist was left to iron most of my hair)... They also only put the chemical on the top portion of my hair....

I have a long hair and after I washed my hair on the 3rd day, the middle part of my hair (from ear to shoulder) looks super coarse and frizzy... it also fluffs out after drying... now the top looks straight, so does the bottom (from the 1st rebond). You can just imaging what my hair looks like! Straight, fluff, straight!

Someone told me that I can try keratin treatment to fix it. I'm not really familiar with it and I don't have time to consult the people from other salons (i'm not going back to that salon again).

Can someone help answer me? If i can, how long should i wait before getting it done?

Also, if it's not possible to get a keratin treatment, can anyone recommend something i could do to fix my hair?

Thank you

You should get your money back, the salon didn't do a GOOD JOB and to to YELP and write a negative comment on them!
Shampoo & condition the hair as usual, every 4-7 days, but continue to trim off the damaged hair, allowing new growth to take over. Use GENTLE shampoo. Applying a small drop amount of oil to wet hair can also act as a leave-in conditioner and provides excellent conditioning in preparation for the next shampooing. The results don't last as long but they are safer.
Hair Rollers:
Set your hair in rollers. This process works for African American women who enjoy tight curls. Apply setting solution to wet, clean hair. Then roll up individual pieces. Keep in mind the more rollers you use, the curlier your hair will be. Then, sit under a hooded dryer for 15 to 30 minutes. Your hair will be straight and curly after it is completely dry.
HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies.

Hair straighteners are known as hair relaxers, keratin treatments and hair-smoothing products. They work by breaking and reforming the chemical bonds in keratin, which is the main protein that gives shape to each hair.

> > > > BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT HAD BEEN BANNED by the Food & Drug Adm. Sept. 12, 2011.

Google: keratin treatment warnings. About 2,620,000 results (0.36 seconds) 6-24-12.
 1-23-12. and Google: Lawsuits Brazilian Blowouts. About 1,010,000 results (0.24 seconds) 
In Sept. the federal government put out a hazard alert about the hair-smoothing treatment, Brazilian Blowout etc. warning that it contains liquid formaldehyde that can turn into formaldehyde gas when heated during a treatment. Now, the company's bottles of solution carry a warning label to alert stylists to the potential formaldehyde risk and the need to perform the treatment in a well-ventilated area. The manufacturer said Monday (3-6-12) that it had agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for about $4.5 million.

Hair-straightening products are allowed to contain small concentrations of formaldehyde (0.2 percent). But several hair-straightening solutions have been found to contain well above the allowable limit. For example, one popular hair-straightening product that advertised itself as “formaldehyde-free” actually contained 6.8 percent to 11.8 percent formaldehyde.
Another example: Fourteen women, including two from North Texas and one from Houston, are suing Unilever, the maker of a product they claim caused permanent damage to their hair.
"It transforms frizzy, unmanageable hair into hair that's sleeker and easier to style," said the commercial for the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion 30-Day Smoothing Kit, which is no longer being sold
When she began looking online for more information about the product, she said she found some people who said it worked, but more who said it damaged their hair.
She discovered a Facebook page devoted to angry consumers, and there are multiple postings on YouTube. I've been warning people about relaxers since 2009 and people are giving me thumbs down!
BTW: A variety of hair-straightening products used in professional salons can expose both hairdressers and their customers to formaldehyde. The results show that three professional hair-smoothing treatments labeled "formaldehyde free" can produce the cancer-causing chemical at concentrations above the occupational exposure limits set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They tested four products: Coppola Keratin Complex Blonde Formula, Global Keratin Juvexin Optimized Functional Keratin, La Brasiliana Escluso Keratin Treatment with Collagen, and Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution. While ChemRisk tested four popular brands of hair straighteners, THERE ARE HUNDREDS on the market. Nov. 11-11

By contrast, beauty salon owners and stylists generally lack a scientific background and don't have a keen awareness of the danger of working with products that contain formaldehyde, experts say.

Watch: Good Hair a documentary by Chris Rock 2009 on BET or HBO. According to Tyra Banks, 80% of the black population are part of the billion dollar hair industry. Clips on youtube videos, also.

Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.
