Keratin Treatments Eliminate the Frizz

It is often assumed that keratin treatments make the hair straight, but this is incorrect!

You’ve heard all about these Keratin Treatments and seriously want one. Ok, maybe you’re not 100% sure what it is, but it’s getting so much buzz, you think you should want one too! You’re never one to be left out, but hmmm … what is it? How does it work? What will happen when you go to your salon and sit in the chair?

We get asked about Keratin Hair Treatments all the time, and there seem to be plenty of treatments to choose from, so do your homework carefully if you are thinking of a keratin treatment like this for your hair.

As firm believers in helping you do your hair homework before undergoing any process that will change your hair dramatically, we surfed around and found a lot of different treatments for all hair types. We are very wary of any chemical treatment that has a potential to be damaging to your delicate strands. "The Brazilian Blowout" contained as much as 10.6% formaldehyde and has been taken off the market! Yes formaldehyde!

So, if you are ready to eliminate all that frizz this summer, this is what you NEED to do!

WHAT IS KERATIN?  

Keratin is an extremely strong protein which is a major component in skin, hair and nails.

HOW DO KERATIN TREATMENTS WORK? 

It is often assumed that keratin treatments make the hair straight, but this is incorrect. During keratin treatments, a solution is applied that infuses the hair with keratin, repairing damage and flaws within the hair. Keratin is responsible for increased shine and reduced frizz, but does not directly straighten the hair itself.

HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?

It can take from 1.5 hours to 3.5 hours depending on thickness and length of hair.

What does it cost?

Depending on the treatment that is right for you, it can very from $50 to $350.

Who is a good candidate for keratin treatments?

Anyone who has been coloring their hair or has frizz. Keratin Treatments eliminate frizz 100% bringing it back to its natural state.
