Keratin Treatment FAQs

Mostly anyone is a good candidate for the keratin smoothing treatment. It is effective on all hair types including thick, thin, dry, chemically damaged, straight, wavy and curly. This professional service will make the hair healthier as it smoothes the cuticle and eliminates frizz and creates shine.

Yes. The keratin smoothing treatment works great with highlighted and colored hair. It will enhance the color, eliminate frizz and make the hair look healthier.

No. Your hair will still have volume after your keratin smoothing treatment. You will still be able to use a curling iron and/or round brush to create body and volume.

It depends on what the natural texture of your hair is. For example, if your hair is wavy the treatment will most likely allow your hair to dry straight. If your hair is curly then it will eliminate the frizz as it enhances the definition of the natural curl. If your hair is straight the treatment will eliminate frizz and give your hair a shiny and healthy look. Finally, the treatment will cut down drying time on all hair to 1/3 of the usual time.

The results will vary depending on the individual's hair type and how often the hair is washed. Normal results last for up to 12. It is also essential to use the proper support products. This treatment is cumulative so the more treatments you receive the longer a client can go between them.

Yes. Actually this treatment is a great solution to the common issue of hair extensions becoming excessively dry due to the lack of natural oils from the scalp. It is easiest to perform the treatment before the extensions are put in the hair. However, if they are in the hair it is not a problem. Extreme caution should be used around the bond or cylinder area too.

No the treatment is not permanent nor will it "grow out". The treatment gradually and evenly washes out so there is no "line of demarcation". This treatment does not change the inner structure of the hair, but rather creates a protein layer overlay on the cuticle which protects the hair. As the hair is protected for an extended time, the condition of the hair is improved.

Since there have not been any studies or tests on the possible effects, we do not recommend the service if the client is pregnant.
