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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A keratin treatment coats each strand with a protein solution and seals it using a flat iron at around 230 degrees. The process smooths the cuticle, reduces daily frizz, and keeps curl patterns relaxed for several weeks. It does not repair broken bonds or stop hair from falling out.
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 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.
