In the past few years, a newly developed salon technology has taken root across the country. More and more women are opting for a keratin hair treatment, a special treatment that smooths and straightens hair, creating a frizz-free look that can last several months. Here is everything you need to know about this latest hair miracle.
What is a Keratin Treatment?
A keratin treatment is a chemical treatment that helps smooth or straighten hair. It can be used on all types of hair, from curly to straight, to help smooth frizz and give your hair a sleeker look. Keratin treatments vary in strength; however, results last for at least two months with most treatments, and they can last up to three months.
How Does it Work?
During a keratin treatment, a stylist applies a protein called keratin to your hair and seals it in with heat from a blow dryer and straightening iron. Keratin is a protein that is in your hair naturally; this treatment simply adds more keratin to the outer layers of your hair, sealing the cuticle to help smooth hair and prevent frizz. The process can take anywhere from one to two hours depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
What are the Benefits of a Keratin Treatment?
Most women who choose a keratin treatment are seeking straighter, sleeker, healthier-looking, and frizz-free hair. Keratin treatments usually offer all of these benefits. Even when faced with high humidity or light rain, hair that has been treated with keratin typically remains smooth and frizz-free.
Another benefit is that, after a keratin treatment, you won’t need to spend as much time styling your hair each day. Instead of spending 30 minutes or more blow drying and straightening your hair each morning, you could spend as little as five minutes blow drying before heading out with the perfect style.
