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.
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.
Keratin treatments can be applied over color, but bleaching within 7 days weakens the cuticle and raises break-off risk. Wait at least 2 weeks after any chemical service before booking. Use a protein mask 5 days before the appointment to reinforce strands.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
