Keratin Treatment-All You Need To Know To Have Healthy Hair

Brazilian women also look alluring with useful hair care methods, especially keratin hair treatment. The keratin treatment (de-frizzing process) is more popular than ever, but can you afford it? What is a keratin treatment? How much is a keratin treatment? There’s a lot of mystery surrounding keratin treatments, so MACSARA created a handy guide to explain it all.

What is keratin treatment?

As you know that keratin- a structural protein found in our hair, skin, and nails-helps strengthen hair to prevent breakage, heat damage, and frizz. It is vitally important for maintaining strong and healthy hair.

Andrew Fitzsimons as a celebrity hairstylist and Nature Lab Tokyo brand ambassador said that keratin treatments are a semi-permanent hair straightening treatment that adds shine to frizzy hair.

How is keratin treatment before and after?

The cardinal rule of keratin treatments is that you must stay away from water and any ponytail hairdo for at least three days. The reason is that after the keratin straightening treatment, it is easy to create a bend in your newly-straightened hair. Fitzsimons says the key to maintaining your treatment for as long as possible is using a sulfate-free shampoo on the days you wash your hair.

If you want to have the keratin treatment for curly hair, a good hair salon can help you to solve this issue. You can understand that your keratin application totally depends on your stylist and treatment, but typically, you’ll need to carve out two to four hours for your appointment. It’s best to start with clean hair by using a quick shampoo and conditioner rinse.

After rough-drying it, your hairdresser will paint the keratin formula over sections of your hair until your whole head was covered, then let it for 30 minutes.

As soon as the timer went off, have a quick rinse and leave the majority of the treatment still on your strands. Next up? Heat, which activates the keratin. The first thing to do is that use a hairdryer to lock in the treatment, and then meticulously flat-ironed every single strand of hair on your head. The number of times your stylist will flat-iron each section depends on your end goals.

When finishing flat-ironing your hair, you will be free to go. The only caveat? Your hair will look ridiculously straight. Your hairdresser will assure you that no tying it back or pushing it behind your ears, after which, you can wash it clearly and style it however you want.

What is the Brazilian keratin treatment?

A Brazilian keratin treatment is a chemical process that smoothes frizzy hair. Results can last up to six months. There are many different versions of the treatment that go by different names (Brazilian Blowout, Cezanne, Goldwell Kerasilk) and your hairstylist can customize a blend of the formula to suit your needs. There are some versions of the treatment release formaldehyde when heated (more on that later), but many newer versions are formaldehyde-free. No matter the formaldehyde content, on a basic level or not, keratin treatments dive into your hair follicle and inject porous areas with keratin. That makes your hair will appear healthier.

How much does the keratin hair treatment?

The costs of this treatment vary from salon to salon and where you live, but typically, keratin treatments usually range from $250 to $500. Think of it this way though: If you’re someone who gets regular blowouts or spends hella time on their hair, the convenience you get with a keratin treatment is worth it.

Keep in mind that there are plenty of hair-smoothing treatments that salons market for cheaper (some of which might work totally fine for your hair texture!), but if you’re after a true keratin formula, know that you likely won’t pay less than $200 (and if you are paying less, definitely call ahead and ask about the ingredients in the treatment, since you won’t be able to guarantee your results with an off-brand formula).

Depend on your needs, in spite of keratin treatment, you also can using popular hair extensions, nowadays. With suitable hair products, you can hide your hair weakness immediately. For example, 14-inch clip-in hair is one of the useful hair extensions that you apply easily in a few minutes. This hair is available on the MACSARA website, so you may choose the best hair in your freeway.
