About Keratin Treatment
Questions That Separate a Trained Professional from a Beginner
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.
Why Results Last Longer on Some Hair Types Than Others
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.
How to Prepare Your Hair Before the Visit
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.
First 72 Hours After Treatment: Locking the Coating In
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.
Compatibility with Colored or Bleached Hair
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.
What a Keratin Treatment Does to Hair
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.
Working Time Required for a Full Head at Home
Plan for 2.5 to 4 hours in the chair. The professional needs 30 to 45 minutes to apply the product section by section. Rinsing takes 10 to 15 minutes. Blow-drying adds 30 minutes. Flat-iron sealing is the longest step and runs 45 to 90 minutes depending on hair length and density. Long, thick hair can push the visit past 4 hours.
Smell, Fumes, and Ventilation During Service
The flat-iron pass releases a strong odor that can linger between 10 and 30 minutes. Keep a window open and step outside if fumes irritate your eyes or throat. Request the stylist to lower the iron temperature by 20 degrees if the smell feels overwhelming.
Price Drivers: Why Quotes Vary by 100% or More
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.
How to Find a Qualified Professional
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.
