Joanne Mason: Hi, I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now! I really love your channel and everything you do. I've been transitioning for almost four months now, I was wondering what your thoughts are on keratin treatments or brazillian blow outs. I was considering getting one but now that I see your videos I don't think I want it anymore ...is it as "healthy" as people say or just the same as most other treatments. Again I love your channel keep up the inspiring work. HAILINGS FROM JAMAICA
