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.
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, clip, or tuck hair behind the ears for 72 hours. Avoid ponytail elastics, caps, and pillow folds that leave marks. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Skip gym sweat and rain. The keratin film is still soft and any crease pressed into it becomes permanent.
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.
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.
Wash your hair 24 hours before the appointment with a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo. Do not apply conditioner, oils, or styling products that day. Arriving with clean, dry hair helps the solution bond correctly during the flat-iron seal.
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.
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.
Coarse, thick, or very curly hair holds the keratin film for about 4 to 5 months. Fine or wavy hair loses it sooner, often after 8 to 10 weeks. Bleached or chemically processed hair absorbs more product but also strips it faster. Heat exposure and wash frequency after the treatment shorten the timeline noticeably.
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.
