Naturally, everyone wants healthy, shiny, and manageable hair, however, everyday activities can damage the natural keratin in your hair. Air pollution, constant blow drying, chemicals in hair products, etc. all have an effect on the keratin production in your hair. Because of this, there needed to be a treatment that replaced the lost keratin in hair. Over the past 10 years, people have been switching from normal oil and conditioning treatments to keratin treatments! Normal oil and conditioning treatments can still be beneficial as they help tame frizzy hair but keratin treatments help the effects last longer.
What is Keratin?
If you’ve never heard of keratin, you’re probably wondering exactly what it is. Keratin is a natural protein that is in our nails and hair. However, as mentioned above, keratin can be easily damaged by the pollution in the air or the chemicals from our products. Keratin is essential if you’re looking for healthy, shiny, and manageable hair so if your hair has been lacking any of those things, a keratin treatment might just be for you!
What Is A Keratin Treatment?
A keratin treatment is a chemical-based hair treatment that works to help recover the health and elasticity of your hair. In simple terms, keratin treatments will add back the keratin that your hair naturally lost. Keratin treatments will bring your hair back to life and get rid of all the roughness and tangles you experience every day. A keratin treatment also straightens your hair. So if you have naturally curly hair, this will relax and straighten your hair for a period of time. Or, if you have straighter hair but you still straighten it often, it will allow you to lay off the straightener for a while. A keratin treatment is not permanent but will last up to 3-4 months.
How Do Keratin Treatments Work?
During this process, keratin binds to your hair using a hair straightener. The straightener helps seal it deep into your hair so that all the lost keratin is replaced. This treatment also contains other chemicals that help the keratin sink in. A keratin treatment takes about 90 minutes depending on the length of one’s hair. After your treatment, you should avoid washing your hair for 3-4 days so that it can successfully settle in and start working its magic.
