Keratin Treatment Process

Time period to perform a keratin treatment depends on the hairstylist who’s treating your hair, also on your hair length, hair texture, and it’s tendency to absorb the process. But it can be expected for it to last from two to four hours. First thing to do with your hair when you arrive is to wash your hair, and this is done by your stylist. Next, the hair stylist, depending upon your hair needs, will either apply the keratin directly to your wet hair and let the formula saturate each of your hair strand for about half an hour or he’ll blow-dry your hair first and then apply the keratin treatment. It all depends on how your hairstylist choose to proceed. After the formula has been saturated and distributed amongst all the hair strands, your hair ate gone through a flat iron on low to medium heat for the treatment to be sealed it where it supposed to be. And after that, your treatment comes to an end.

How is keratin Treatment Different?

It’s a very fact of keratin treatments that these are temporary and only lasts for six to seven months, whereas the straightening relaxers are permanent and that’s why those can be harmful. Keratin treatment maybe something that only lasts for a few months but it doesn’t come with many side effects. Keratin treatments and hair straightening with chemical relaxers are absolutely different procedures and they both use different ingredients as well which obviously produces different results. In the hair straightening process, using sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or guanidine hydroxide, the chemical relaxers breaks the bonds between curly hair and reconstructs bonds in such a way that they become weaker and straight. Whereas on the other hand, in keratin treatments, the 6 inject the formula into your porous parts of your hair, to reach to the hair follicle and fill them with protein to make them smoother. And after a few months, this treatment is needed once again, as it washes out. Some of these treatments may contain a solution that can release formaldehyde when it’s heated but there are some new treatments available too which are formaldehyde-free.
