Quick facts about Brazilian keratin treatment
For how long will you be engaged?
Well technically it depends on 3 things:
- The wait time – if the queue is long then you will have to wait.
- In between process shifting by the hair expert.
- Hair length.
Now most commonly a keratin treatment takes about 5 to 6 hours including pre and post washes along with the drying and styling of hair but the above-mentioned factors have a lot to do in the subsequent.
So it is best to clear your schedule once and for all. Postpone the errands only after 3 days when the hair is completely set.
What about coloring?
You will be having 2 options but first here is something that you have to be certain about, you cannot go for this treatment method if you have colored hair.
This is because colored hair is already in a very tender state. Going through a keratin treatment is going to weaken the state of your hair even more.
Thus, coming to the options as to what you can do,
- Either get your hair colored on the very same day by the salon experts
- Or wait to color it after two weeks.
Doing so gives your hair some time to prepare for another set of treatment. And if you happen to color your hair on the same day then the experts use correct formulation with additional protection that does not hamper hair cuticles at all!
Hair cuts are a big ‘no’?
Not necessarily. Just like the hair coloring regime, it is necessary to wait for at least two weeks before you get a hair cut as it takes for the hair to settle in. The other option that you have is to get the haircut done on the day of treatment.
Keratin is infused in the hair by following up on the treatment with a flat iron. It locks the product and its effect on the cuticles of individual hair strands. As that is done the texture and effect is maintained.
Color and hair cuts can open up the cuticle pores if it is applied before completion of 2 weeks (that is how long it takes the hair treatment to set in). Also if both these developments are made on the day of the treatment then the final product flat ironing of hair helps all of it to set in better.
Advice:
Though you are a well informed customer, here is a little advice for you:
Hair treatments are very subjective i.e., what works best for one type of hair may not work the other. Hence, it is always best to have a discussion with the hair expert. Each professional hair expert will give you unadulterated view about what your hair particularly needs.
So talk to them and discuss whatever you have in mind. That way you will no longer have to worry and wonder, “is this the best Brazilian keratin treatment near me for a good mane?”.
