Look for a stylist with a keratin-specialist certificate from a recognized academy and at least 200 documented treatments. Ask for a portfolio of before-and-after photos taken under the same lighting. Verify that the professional carries product liability insurance for chemical services.
On fine, straight hair, results usually last between 2 and 4 months. On thick, wavy, or curly hair, the smoothing effect often lasts from 4 to 6 months. Frequent washing, chlorine, and salt water shorten the lifespan of the coating within days.
Traditional formulas contain formaldehyde or methylene glycol, which release gas during ironing. Newer versions use glyoxylic acid or cysteine derivatives. Ask the professional which system they carry, request the safety data sheet, and confirm the formaldehyde level stays under 0.2% if you want the gentler option.
Do not wash, tie up, or tuck your hair behind your ears for the first 72 hours. Sleep on a silk pillowcase and avoid ponytail elastics. After day 3, switch to sodium-free shampoo and conditioner to protect the keratin seal.
Hair feels stiff, straw-like, or gummy immediately after rinsing. Strands break when stretched instead of bending. The coating flakes off in white pieces within 5 days. Roots stay frizzy while lengths look flat, meaning sectioning was uneven. Any of these signs means the formula was left on too long, rinsed poorly, or ironed at the wrong temperature.
Skip the service if your scalp shows open cuts, dermatitis, or active psoriasis. Postpone it for at least 3 months after a keratin straightening with strong formaldehyde. If you have very short hair under 10 cm, the treatment will not hold and is not worth the cost.
Plan for a window of 2 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours from arrival to rinse. The exact time depends on hair length, density, and how much product the stylist applies. Plan for an extra 30 minutes if a toner or color was done the same day.
Wash hair the morning of the visit using a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo. Skip conditioner, leave-in products, oils, or dry shampoo for at least 24 hours before. The cuticle must be clean so the keratin can bond properly. Any residue blocks absorption and leads to patchy results that show within the first wash.
Home visits for short hair range from $150 to $250, while hair past the shoulders costs between $250 and $450. Price varies with the keratin brand used, hair length, and the travel fee the professional charges. Always request a written quote before booking.
Keratin can be applied over colored hair, but timing matters. Wait at least 2 weeks after any chemical service, including dye, bleach, or highlights. Bleached hair tends to absorb more product and may darken slightly after treatment. A strand test on 10 hidden hairs is worth doing before committing to a full head.
