Everything You Need to Know About Keratin Treatments

Many women struggle with styling and managing their frizzy hair as it takes forever to make a classy hairstyle when your hair is full of frizz, knots and tangles. The solution for getting smoother, shinier and straighter hair is keratin hair treatment.

Keratin treatment is a chemical process targeted for smoothing hair and reducing frizz. Here’s everything you should know about keratin hair treatments.

What Is Keratin Hair Treatment?

Keratin treatment is a semi-permanent hair straightening method that coats the porous hair strands with fibrous protein (keratin) and adds shine and softness. Keratin treatment can help you successfully get rid of frizzy hair by smoothing the gaps in the hair strands.

While other hair straightening treatments break the hair protein bonds, keratin treatment doesn’t break these bonds and helps restore hair health and reduce frizz without permanently changing the hair structure.

Who Will Benefit From Keratin Treatment?

Keratin hair treatment is recommended for people with coarse and frizzy hair. This treatment is perfect for those who don’t like their wavy or curly hair and want frizz-free, smoother and straighter hair.

But, if you’re looking for a hair treatment to bounce between your curls and straight hair, keratin treatment may not be right for you. It is also not suitable for people with overly processed, thin textured hair.

Benefits of Keratin Hair Treatment

Keratin hair treatment is great for getting rid of the hair frizz. This treatment results in shinier, smoother and straighter hair.

Some benefits of a keratin treatment are:

• Smoothens the hair cuticles
• Prevents frizzy hair and tangles
• Gives a voluminous look
• Imparts lustrous shine
• Cuts blow-drying time by 50%
• Makes your hair manageable and glossy
• Fixes damaged hair

What To Expect During Your Keratin Treatment?

Once you’ve booked your keratin hair appointment, avoid coloring your hair before your treatment, as keratin may strip out the color. 

The stylist will first shampoo your hair to ensure they are free of any dirt, build-up, oil or residue. Then, the hairstylist will apply the keratin solution to your wet hair and let each hair strand absorb it completely. The treatment time varies from two to four hours, according to your hair length, volume and texture.

The formula is heat-activated using a blow-dryer and flat iron to seal the treatment and create a humidity-resistant finish.

How Long Does Keratin Treatment Last?

The keratin hair treatment can last up to six months, depending on how well you care for your hair and how often you wash them. To make your keratin treatment results last longer, you should use sulfate-free shampoo and avoid chlorine and saltwater.
