Make Your Hair Lively Again With Keratin Treatments
Everyday styling causes too much damage and stress to our hair.
But what can we do? Girls need to look their best don't they? So despite this warning, we still succumb to different styling methods such as straightening, curling, perms, hair color treatments, getting highlights, and daily blow outs.
In the long run, however, no matter how hard we try to style our hair, we can't.
Why? Because the extent of damage made it resistant to whatever treatment we want.
Hair fall becomes common.
It becomes very brittle and prone to breakage.
Though we have nothing against hair treatments, we must do them with the utmost care by choosing the right salon with professional people who really know what they are doing with our crowning glory.
Changing hair color and having highlights is fun, but if done improperly and abusively, these two can cause serious damage.
As an alternative, keratin treatments are now out in the market.
Keratin is the natural protein found in our hair and nails which is responsible for making it stronger, shinier, and more healthy and alive.
Keratin is stripped off when we do even the simplest act as taking a shower.
This is why keratin treatments were invented-to infuse lost protein back to make our hair healthy once more.
There are many types of keratin treatments but the most popular ones are the Brazilian keratin treatment and Paul Mitchell's awapuhi treatment.
A Brazilian keratin treatment usually lasts for three to four hours in a salon.
It is so popular right now because of how well it is compared with the Japanese hair straightening system.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment process is as follows: 1.
The hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo to open up the pores and allow the product to deeply penetrate every strand.
2.
After shampooing, blow drying follows.
3.
Keratin mixture is then applied.
Every strand is carefully coated and left to stand for twenty minutes.
4.
Blow drying is again done to seal the treatment.
5.
Lastly, hair is straightened with an iron.
Maintenance comes next after this salon treatment.
Normally, newly treated hair should not be washed or subjected to any form of dampness such as excessive sweating for four days.
That means no showering or whatsoever.
After four days, a special type of shampoo that's sodium-free should be used.
Our manes should also not be subjected to stress caused by ponytails, headbands, hair clips, sunglasses, etc.
to avoid kinks.
Avoid tucking them beneath ears either.
Keratin treatments usually last for about three to four months, after which, one will need to go back to the salon for another round of treatment.
Be careful with choosing a salon.
There have been reports that after washing the treated hair (after the four day no washing period), it went back to its original state with kinks and curls.
This must be due to several factors which include: one, ineffective line of products, and two, incompetent salon staff.
Keratin treatments are paving the way to soft, shiny, and sleek straight hair for us.
What's best about this treatment is that it can be done for all types of hair.
Keratin treatments roughly cost $150-$600.
