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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
