I've got naturally curly hair, but it's become super dry and frizzy over time because I haven't maintained it well. With a family event coming up, I'm thinking about getting my hair treated, and someone recommended cysteine treatment to tame it. I'm a bit worried about any side effects that might come with it. Is it safe to go for the cysteine treatment, or should I consider keratin or chemical smoothing treatments instead? Would love to get your thoughts on this.
