Everything You Need to Know About Keratin Treatments

Mar 12, 2022 | Keratin Treatments

A keratin treatment is a hair treatment that helps to smooth and heal damaged hair, making it look and feel healthier. The treatment is most commonly used on people with frizzy hair, but it can be beneficial for anyone with any hair type. Keratin treatments help to relax hair, make it more manageable, add shine and softness. The treatment can also be used to repair damaged hair from heat styling or coloring. Keratin treatments work by repairing the cuticles of your strands, which provides long lasting benefits like increased shine or better manageability for fine/thin texture styles. If you're considering a keratin treatment, read on to learn everything you need to know about the process.

the keratin treatment process

The keratin treatment process usually starts with a clarifying shampoo that is designed to prepare your hair for the keratin treatment. Your stylist will then dry your hair which helps the keratin treatment penetrate your strands. Next, the treatment is applied to your hair. Finally, your hair will be rinsed, blow-dyed and flat ironed to seal the keratin into the hair cuticle.

Keratin treatments offer a variety of benefits, including: 

  • Reduces styling time by half

    you aren’t in miami but i read your great articles on keratin. Could you please tell me a couple of different gentle shampoos that are keratin safe? It’s so confusing…many say they are and contain sodium laurel etc.
    I would really appreciate it.
    I just got keratin and will need to wash it Wednesday.

      Hi Lili, we recommend Virtue Recovery Shampoo. Virtue shampoos are keratin-safe because they contain their proprietary Alpha Keratin 60ku protein and are free of harsh ingredients like sulfates (SLS/SLES) that can strip keratin and color from hair. The brand formulates its products to deposit pure, human keratin protein, repairing and strengthening hair without damaging any existing keratin treatments. Virtue shampoos are also sulfate-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free, making them safe for color-treated and chemically treated hair.
