Chemainus sits at about 38 m above sea level. It is a coastal city by the sea. The climate in Chemainus averages 10.7°C a year, with January around 4.1°C and July near 19.8°C.
A keratin treatment coats each strand with a protein film that fills gaps in the cuticle. The coating is sealed with a flat iron at around 230°C. Hair looks straighter and reflects more light because the surface is smoother. The effect is cosmetic, not structural, so the original curl pattern returns as the coating washes out over time.
Home visits cost more than salon work because of travel time and setup. Hair length and density drive product use: short hair needs 30 to 40 ml, long hair up to 120 ml. Brand matters too, with imported Brazilian formulas priced higher than local equivalents. Expect a 40% to 60% surcharge for very long or very thick hair.
Most kits rely on formaldehyde or glyoxylic acid as the active straightening agent. Ask the professional for the exact brand, the percentage of active ingredient, and the safety data sheet. If you are pregnant or have respiratory issues, request a formaldehyde-free formula.
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.
Keratin fumes contain aldehydes that irritate eyes and airways. Open at least 2 windows and keep a fan pulling air outward during the ironing stage. Anyone in the home during sealing should wear an N95 mask. A lingering chemical smell after 6 hours means the product was not fully cooked out by the iron.
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.
Hair that feels gummy, brittle, or breaks 2 cm from the scalp points to an overheated iron. Excessive smoke during sealing means the iron sat on one section too long. Request a strand test on a hidden layer before the full pass if you dye your hair.
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.
Ask how many full applications they complete each month and request a portfolio of before-and-after photos. Confirm they measure hair porosity before choosing the formula. Check that they seal at 230°C with a titanium plate, not a ceramic one. A pro who refuses to share the brand name or the safety sheet is skipping safety steps.
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.
