Everything You Need to Know About Keratin Treatments for curly, doily hair and What It Is and What It Isn’t.
At Nadia Vassell Salon, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge so you can make the best decisions for your hair. One of our most popular services is the Keratin Smoothing Treatment, and we're here to clear up any confusion about what it is—and what it isn’t.
What Is a Keratin
Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in our hair, helping to protect it from damage. Over time, external factors like heat, styling, and environmental stressors can break down this protective layer, leaving your hair frizzy and prone to damage. A keratin treatment helps restore and smooth your hair by replenishing this protein, making your hair look shinier and feel softer. One of the key benefits is that it drastically reduces frizz and makes your curls appear looser, which can save you a lot of styling time.
What a Keratin Treatment Isn’t
There’s often confusion between keratin treatments and other hair-smoothing or straightening systems. Let’s set the record straight:
- A keratin treatment is not a straightening system.
- It is not a relaxer.
- It is not a Japanese hair straightening treatment.
If you’re looking for a permanent straightening solution, this isn’t it. However, if you’re looking to reduce frizz, smooth your hair, and enhance your natural texture, a keratin treatment is the perfect option.
What to Expect After Your Keratin Treatment
While a keratin treatment can last up to 5 months with proper care, it’s important to follow the right aftercare routine. Here’s what you need to know:
- If you work out, sweat, or get your hair wet immediately after your treatment, you may notice some reversion (your hair returning to its natural state). This is normal! Simply blow-dry and flat iron the areas that have reverted, and your smooth look will return.
- Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, as sulfates can strip the keratin from your hair.
- We also recommend using the at-home products we suggest to help extend the life of your treatment.
This treatment is perfect for those who love getting silk presses, as it can make your silk press last longer and keep your hair looking sleek and smooth for weeks!
Ready to Cut Your Styling Time in Half?
If you’re tired of spending hours on your hair, a keratin treatment may be just what you need. Not only will it reduce frizz and leave your hair looking smoother, but it will also make your styling routine faster and easier.
