Usually a four-step process, a keratin treatment is defined as a conditioning process that uses the aforementioned ingredients to saturate the hair and then high direct heat to seal the treatment onto the hair. Unlike relaxers, keratin treatments are only able to modify the hair’s structure temporarily (3 months on average when kept properly), given that during processing hair is not submitted to irreversible heat damage from blow-drying or flat ironing. The alkaline composition of the product allows the chemicals to loosen up the hair structure, while the heat expands and seals the hair with a strong silicone coating that grants the hair its soft and silky look. Previously relaxed or color-treated hair might react better to the treatment as the hair cuticle is open and allows the product to penetrate faster. How long does keratin treatment last on curly hair? A properly applied keratin treatment can last up to 4 months on regular to high porosity hair.

If you’re struggling to keep your hair moisturized, bouncing and healthy and keep strategizing ways to keep it straight or wavy week in and week out a keratin treatment might be a good fit for you. Keratin treatments provide: Instantly shinier hair Softer to the touch and faster drying times Fewer steps for blow-drying of flat ironing Reconditioning of weak, brittle hair spots Less manipulation as straight hairstyles last longer Reduced heat usage after the first treatment Your hair will bounce back to its normal curl pattern after a few months or if reversed with a sulfate shampoo.

While it’s generally advisable you go to a licensed hair stylist who’s an expert in keratin treatments to get an assessment of your hair and a treatment that’s suited for your goals and needs, here are some general rules when selecting a DIY keratin treatment for curly hair: Choose treatments with little to no formaldehyde Consider purchasing the whole line of maintenance products for post-treatment care Verify the authenticity of the product with the manufacturer before purchasing or applying: only buy from authorized resellers or call and verify the lot number. Bootleg keratin treatments are not uncommon and due to the nature of the ingredients, it’s very important to keep an eye out. Use high-quality tools: Precision flat irons are a must for a successful keratin treatment. Your flat iron must be able to heat evenly for long periods of time to minimize the risk of under or over processing your hair and causing heat damage.
