Keratin treatments for hair?

[SollysMom]

I love my curly hair on wash day, but that only happens about once a week and it usually ends up in a ponytail because DS2 is grabby and I wear him on my back a lot.  When I straighten my hair (blowdryer/flatiron) I like that I can easily go back and forth between wearing it loose and in a ponytail, and often it lasts 2 weeks before I have to wash it again (I have dry hair and it doesn't look greasy, I promise!).  The problem is finding the time to blow out and iron it.  I'm very tempted to try one of the new Brazilian Keratin treatments, because it seems like it makes blowing straight quicker and easier, plus nice loose waves if you airdry.  However, I'm currently breastfeeding both of my boys and don't see myself being done anytime soon, especially since we plan to have more children.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of an option for keratin treatments that safe while breastfeeding?  TIA for any replies

I"m not sure if it's not ok to use if nursing...

I've had my hair straightened in the past by doing japanese thermal reconditioning. I did it with no probs both during pregnancy and nursing. The results are amazing but it is really pricey, esp. if one has long hair as it was done on an hourly rate at the salon I went to. I've heard the brazilian doesn't last as long and isn't as permanent but is really good. Can you check with the manufacturer or kellymom about the safety of it?

Thanks for the reply.  I don't think Thermal Reconditioning is in the budget anytime soon, plus what I liked about the idea of a Keratin treatment is that they're not permanent like TR.  I did some googling though and it seems like the Keratin treatments aren't a good idea while BF'ing.
