What is keratin and how it helps your HAIR!
Tips and how to pro long your keratin treatment in your hair
A keratin treatment repairs and smooths your hair and helps control curly hair, making it smooth, shiny, and manageable. Our Keratin smoothing treatment can give you smooth, luscious-looking locks that are low on maintenance but high on manageability.
Keratin will noticeably improve hair health and provide long-term conditioning, protection and lustrous shine. Keratin Treatments last up to 3 months depending on hair type and maintenance
What’s the process?
The process involves getting your hair washed, then having a stylist brush the treatment onto wet hair where it will sit for about 30 minutes.
Some hair stylists prefer to blow dry the hair first and apply the treatment to dry hair. They’ll then flat iron the hair in small sections to seal in the treatment.
On virgin hair, results will improve with each application. You may have to repeat the treatment after 4 weeks, but each application will last longer. It adds intense glossy shine to hair and can reduce frizz. The whole process can take several hours — so bring a book or something quiet to do!
Potential benefits of keratin treatment?
The body naturally makes the protein keratin — it’s what hair and nails are made up of.
The keratin in these treatments may be derived from wool, feathers, or horns. Certain shampoos and conditioners contain keratin, but you’ll typically get the greatest benefits from a salon treatment done by a professional.
Benefits of getting a professional keratin treatment or doing one at home can include:
Smooth, shiny hair
Keratin smooths cells that overlap to form hair strands, which means more manageable hair and less frizz. This makes for hair that dries with little frizz and has a glossy, healthy look to it.
Keratin can also reduce the look of split ends by temporarily bonding the hair back together.

More manageable hair
Keratin treatments make hair more manageable, especially if your hair is particularly frizzy or thick.
If you constantly heat style your hair, you’ll notice that with a keratin treatment your hair dries more quickly. Some people estimate that keratin cuts their drying time by more than half.
Your hair may also become healthier and stronger since you can air dry it more often, saving it from heat damage.

Hair growth
Keratin can strengthen and fortify hair so it doesn’t easily break off. This can make hair seem to grow faster because the ends aren’t breaking off.
How to prolong my keratin treatment?
As long as you care for a keratin treatment by not washing your hair too frequently (2 to 3 times a week is enough), then your keratin treatment can last up to 6 months.
Avoid washing, brushing or tying up your hair for the first 24-48 hours to allow the keratin treatment enough time to settle and absorb into your hair.
Using any products that do not contain parabens and or sulphates will help prolong your keratin treatment between visits.
