Keratin Hair Treatments: What to Expect If youre thinking about trying it, you should know this: What Is Keratin? Its a protein thats naturally in your hair. How It Works: A stylist applies a keratin hair-straightening product to your hair and then uses the heat of a flat iron to seal it in. The process takes about 90 minutes or longer, depending on your hairs length. Time-Saving Tresses: If you usually style your hair straight, a keratin hair-straightening treatment could shorten your blow-dry time by 40% to 60%. Farewell, Frizz: You can forget about frizzy hair after treatment. You could walk out in moist or light rain and your hair won’t change. Wait Before You Wash: You shouldnt wash your hair for three or four days after getting the treatment. Thats because the solution takes time to work. Upkeep: After you get a keratin hair treatment, and after the dont-wash waiting period, you should use sodium-sulfate-free shampoo to help maintain the treatment. How Long It Lasts: Expect the results to last two to 2 1/2 months. Keratin treatments wont make your hair break, but the flat-ironing might. The hair breakage has nothing to do with the treatments and everything to do with the flat irons that are used to dry and seal the hair afterward.Some stylists may use a flat iron that is way too hot and scorches hair, making it break off. Keratin is more of a restorative treatment,Even if you have a good hair type, it still strengthens the hair shaft and makes your hair more resilient. Price depends on your hair length,thickness and condition.
