Keratin Treatment
A hair treatment that smooths and strengthens hair by replenishing its natural keratin protein.
What is Keratin Treatment?
Keratin treatment applies a keratin-based formula to your hair, which is then sealed in using heat, replenishing the natural protein that gives hair its strength and smoothness. This treatment reduces frizz and adds significant shine, making hair noticeably smoother and more manageable. Your stylist applies the treatment section by section, then uses a flat iron to seal it into the hair shaft. The entire process typically takes two to four hours depending on hair length and thickness, with results lasting two to five months.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Frizzy or unmanageable hair
- A desire for smoother, shinier hair
- Reducing daily styling time
- Damaged hair in need of added strength and smoothness
- A longer-lasting alternative to daily flat-ironing
How does this procedure help?
Keratin treatment can dramatically reduce frizz and styling time, leaving hair smoother, shinier, and more manageable for months at a time. Many patients find this significantly cuts down their daily hair routine, particularly in humid climates where frizz is more pronounced. With proper aftercare, including sulphate-free products, results can last several months before a touch-up is needed.
