KERITING

Keratin treatment is a popular hair smoothing and straightening treatment designed to reduce frizz, add shine, and make the hair more manageable. It is often referred to as a Brazilian Blowout, though that’s technically a specific brand of keratin treatment. This treatment is especially popular for those with frizzy, curly, or unruly hair who want smoother, shinier, and more controlled hair.

COMMON TYPES OF KERITING

Keratin is a natural protein found in hair, and keratin treatments work by replenishing the hair with this protein. The process involves applying a liquid formula to the hair that contains keratin and other nourishing ingredients. The formula is then sealed into the hair using flat iron. It also helps make the hair more silky, shiny, and easier to style.

Brazilian Blowout: It involves applying a keratin formula and then sealing it with heat. It’s known for long-lasting results, making hair smoother and frizz-free for up to 12 weeks. The Brazilian Blowout also tends to preserve volume while straightening the hair, which is appealing for people who don’t want a completely flat, straight look.
Traditional Keratin Treatment: This treatment works similarly but may contain formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing ingredients, which help to smooth the hair but can have a stronger odor during the treatment and involve more precautions.
Express Keratin Treatments: A quicker, shorter version of the traditional keratin treatment. It’s usually done in about 30 to 60 minutes and lasts for about 6–8 weeks. This option is for people who don’t have as much time for the full treatment or want a lighter, temporary result.
Cysteine Treatment: A variation of the keratin treatment that uses cysteine, an amino acid, instead of traditional formaldehyde-based formulas. It’s often considered a gentler option with similar results to keratin but without the harsh chemicals.

A keratin treatment is a great way to achieve smoother, shinier, and more manageable hair, particularly for those with frizz, curls, or unruly texture. The results typically last for several months, and the treatment can significantly reduce styling time while giving you sleek, and healthy looking hair.
