Keratin therapy has been proven to be a simple method for treating dull, dry, and curly hair, making it smooth and shiny. But have you ever thought about how the magic of keratin happens?
We have broken down the actual steps that occur for you to achieve long-lasting smooth, glossy, unrolled, and hairless hair.
Step 1: Deep cleaning shampoo
Before performing keratin smoothing, clean the hair and open the epidermal hair layer to ensure that the active ingredients of keratin penetrate deeply.
Shampoo plays a crucial role in preparing hair for keratin. It has high alkalinity, and when choosing shampoo,
Not only should the type of hair be considered, but also the degree of damage.
Step 2: Use keratin
Before using the treatment, the hair must be
completely dry. This is because wet hair can dilute
keratin and may affect the effectiveness of this
treatment. Apply it evenly onto the sliced hair.
Step 3: Set the hair into shape
Leave the product for about 20 to 30 minutes. This is basically the time it takes for hair to undergo the oxidation process. Then rinse your hair thoroughly with cold water and squeeze out excess water with a towel.
Step 4: Blow dry the iron
Then blow dry the hair and use an iron to ensure that the product penetrates deep into the stratum corneum.
Step 5: Post treatment care(Daily use shampoo&mask)
Keratin therapy also requires some post-treatment care. We suggest that you do not tie your hair and go to the salon within 2-3 days after the keratin treatment for your first wash. This additional care can allow keratin therapy to penetrate into your hair and bring you long-lasting results. In addition, your hairstylist will recommend using shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulfates and nipagin esters for long-lasting care effects. The treatment usually lasts for 3-5 months, depending on how good the post-treatment care is at home. It is recommended to avoid using oil or hard water to wash your hair, as this often damages the protein layer produced during treatment.
