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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
