Keratin Treatment
A Keratin treatment is a popular and effective hair care procedure designed to smooth and straighten frizzy or curly hair, resulting in sleek and more manageable locks. The treatment utilizes a special formula containing the protein keratin, which is a key structural component of hair, nails, and skin.
​
The process typically begins with the application of a keratin-rich solution to clean, dry hair. The stylist then uses heat, usually from a flat iron, to seal the product into the hair cuticle. This helps to repair and smooth the hair shaft, reducing frizz, enhancing shine, and promoting a straighter appearance.
​
Keratin treatments are renowned for their ability to make hair more resistant to humidity, decreasing the likelihood of frizz in various weather conditions. The effects of a keratin treatment can last for several weeks, and with proper care, hair remains smoother and more manageable during this period.
​
While keratin treatments offer numerous benefits, it's important to note that some formulations may contain formaldehyde or similar chemicals. Many salons now offer formaldehyde-free options to address concerns about the potential health risks associated with these substances.
​
Overall, a keratin treatment is a popular choice for individuals seeking a temporary solution to transform and tame unruly hair, providing a smoother and more polished look.
