Your provider should show valid licenses. Ask how long they have worked in the field. Certification ensures safety training. Check their studio reviews online. Do not trust word of mouth only. Confirm their knowledge of patch testing. New chemicals start with a small 24 hour test behind your ear. Do not skip the test if you have sensitive skin.
Treatments cannot fix split ends. They only hide them temporarily. Ask the stylist to trim them first. Cutting damaged sections stops further breakage. They recommend trimming every 3 months. If they skip this, splits climb the shaft. This makes hair look thin and brittle. Ask for the scissor work.
Keratin treatments use formaldehyde or alternatives. Ask for the ingredient label. Some formulas smell strongly of vinegar. That indicates curing agents. Ensure the product suits your hair type. Dry hair needs extra bond repair. Weaker strands need lighter formula. Ask for samples. Do not apply unknown chemicals to your scalp without checking for allergy.
Many treatments require 48 hours without washing. Shampoo strips the new chemical structure. Use sulfate-free shampoo only. Wash gently. Do not rub your scalp. Massage lightly. This preserves the treatment layer. Breaking this rule reduces effectiveness by half. Your hair feels dry soon.
A full treatment takes 90 to 120 minutes. Coloring add-ons add 30 to 45 minutes. Keratin smoothing requires 100 to 140 minutes. Your schedule helps them plan products. Rushing leads to uneven absorption. Ask for an exact arrival time. If they overbook, you wait longer. Verify they start with your shampoo. Verify before you sit down.
Deep conditioning masks often need 30 to 45 minutes to penetrate. Keratin treatments may take 3 hours total. Ask for the exact timeline. Rushing breaks down protein bonds. You will lose shine and strength. Plan your day around the full appointment block. Show up early to wait.
Your stylist should check scalp health before any treatment. Look for signs of dandruff, oil buildup, or breakage. Ask if your hair needs a keratin repair bond or just a wash cut. Untreated breakage weakens the structure and affects results. A visual inspection is non-negotiable. If they skip that, walk away. You need a baseline. Without it, costs rise later.
Use color-safe shampoo to extend treatment life. Reduce washing to 2 to 3 times per week. Dry heat melts keratin bonds quickly. Using a ceramic dryer helps preserve shine. Your dryer should stay 5 cm from the scalp. Move it constantly. Static electricity lifts cuticles. Apply leave-in conditioner only to wet ends. Dry strands absorb too much moisture and swell.
Do not buy random shampoo at the store. The salon sells specific aftercare lines. These maintain the treatment bond. Using wrong products ruins the investment. Buy the recommended conditioner. It has pH near 4.5. Daily use keeps hair smooth. Check the price before agreeing. It adds to the total cost.
After straightening, avoid washing for 72 hours. Dry hair sets the bond. Do not clip pulls or tight styles for 48 hours. This prevents new dents. Your hairline is vulnerable during curing. Sleep on silk if possible. Avoid chlorine pools for 10 days. Salt water strips moisture. Wait a full day before heat styling after any chemical service.
