Prepare your Hair for Winter with Keratin Treatment

Keratin is one of the most durable proteins in nature and the main ingredient in the outer layer of hair. When applied to hair via products or a longer-lasting treatment, keratin smooths out, straightens, and eliminates frizz. Your hair type will determine which keratin formula and concentration will deliver the desired sleekness. For example: anyone after frizzles locks can benefit from products that contain keratin but the keratin treatments are best left to coarse and curly hair types.


Also known as Brazilian keratin treatments, keratin treatments are a semi-permanent, hair-smoothing, curl-softening professional chemical process designed to make hair straighter, shinier and even healthier. The Brazilian Kerstin treatments are usually made up of a chemical like formaldehyde (which creates the long-lasting smoothing effect), conditioners, and some keratin (a protein our hair is made of to add strength).The Brazilian keratin treatment process is very intensive. It should only be performed by a licensed professional who has had training in performing the treatment. Having the treatment done by someone who is inexperienced could lead to hair breakage and loss. You want to ensure that the treatment process is followed according to the guidelines for the optimal health of the hair. This will depend mainly on the results they are looking to achieve. With the proper consultation and use of the correct keratin treatment, the client should expect to receive exactly what it is they desire. There are keratin treatments that fulfill the need for healthy, shiny hair with minimal texture reduction and there are keratin treatments that are going to provide the client with up to 100% texture reduction.

Not all keratin is created equal. What I mean is, compare it for a minute to fruit in a fruit basket. Yes, it is all fruit but is an apple the same as an orange? I think not! Keratin can be comprised of human hair, or it can be synthetic. There are many quality grades that keratin can be comprised of. Keratin treatments also vary according to the amount of formaldehyde or the amount of cysteine that are in them. Some keratin products work only with the cuticle or surface of the hair, while others go into the cortex and break bonds. It is important that you understand the type of keratin that you are working with and what it is intended to perform.
