About Keratin Treatment
What a Keratin Treatment Actually Changes in the Hair Shaft
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.
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.
When to Avoid the Treatment Altogether
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.
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.
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.
Compatibility with Color-Treated or Bleached 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.
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.
Red Flags That Signal a Poor Application
Hair feels stiff, straw-like, or gummy immediately after rinsing. Strands break when stretched instead of bending. The coating flakes off in white pieces within 5 days. Roots stay frizzy while lengths look flat, meaning sectioning was uneven. Any of these signs means the formula was left on too long, rinsed poorly, or ironed at the wrong temperature.
Warning Signs of a Bad Application
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.
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.
