How a Keratin Treatment FIXED Her Curl Pattern
How a Keratin Treatment Helps Blend Multiple Curl Patterns for Curly Hair
Many curly girls struggle with having more than one curl pattern, like having tighter coils at the roots and looser curls toward the ends. This uneven texture can make wash days long, styling unpredictable, and curls hard to define.
In today’s post, I’m sharing how I used the Cezanne Smoothing Keratin Treatment on my client to blend two different curl patterns, smooth frizz, and restore shine, without permanently altering her curls.
Whether you have multiple curl patterns, frizz, or dryness, this treatment can completely change your wash-day experience.
Understanding the Challenge: Uneven Curl Patterns
My client came in with virgin hair that had tighter coils at the roots and looser curls at the ends. This combination made her hair difficult to wash, detangle, and style.
There are a few common reasons this can happen:
Genetics — natural variations in curl pattern across the head
Heat or color damage — which can loosen curls over time
Uneven porosity or moisture balance
Whatever the cause, the goal is to help the roots and ends blend seamlessly for a smoother, more consistent curl pattern.
Why I Chose the Cezanne Smoothing Keratin Treatment
I used the Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment because it’s:
100% formaldehyde-free, making it a safe option for curly hair
Infused with aloe vera, green tea extract, and vitamins to nourish the hair
Known for leaving the hair stronger, shinier, and softer after each use
Unlike harsh relaxers, keratin treatments don’t break or change your curl bonds. Instead, they infuse the hair with natural keratin, the same protein that makes up your strands, sealing the cuticle and reducing frizz for smoother, more manageable curls.
Step-by-Step: The Keratin Treatment Process
1. Cleansing and Preparation
I began by cleansing my client’s hair with a keratin-safe clarifying shampoo to remove buildup and prep the strands for treatment.
2. Applying the Cezanne Formula
Section by section, I applied the Cezanne Smoothing Keratin Treatment, ensuring even coverage from root to end. The formula immediately began softening the tighter curls at the root while coating the looser ends for uniform definition.
3. Blow-Dry and Seal
After the processing time, I used the TYMO AirHype Blow Dryer to smooth the hair. Blow-drying helps begin the sealing process before flat ironing.
4. Flat Ironing to Lock in the Treatment
Using a professional flat iron set to the correct temperature for her texture, I sealed in the keratin. This step smooths the cuticle and enhances shine.
5. Trim for Healthier Ends
Once the hair was straightened, I trimmed away split or weak ends. This ensures the hair looks healthy and continues to grow strong between treatments.
Keratin vs Relaxer: What’s the Difference?
Clients often ask why I recommend a keratin treatment over a relaxer. The difference lies in how they work:
A keratin treatment gives you the benefits of smoother, more manageable hair without the damage or commitment of a relaxer.
Aftercare: How to Maintain Your Keratin Treatment
Proper maintenance will determine how long your keratin lasts. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
– I recommend products labeled keratin-safe to prevent the formula from washing out prematurely.Avoid heavy protein or clarifying shampoos for the first few weeks
– Allow the treatment to settle before using bond-building products like Olaplex or K18.Deep condition regularly
– Maintain moisture balance by deep conditioning every other week.Use heat protectant when styling
– Keratin makes hair stronger but not invincible. Protect it when using hot tools.Wait 3–5 months before your next treatment
– Let the keratin naturally fade out to avoid buildup or overprocessing.
The Results: Blended, Shiny, and Manageable Hair
After her keratin treatment, my client’s hair was noticeably smoother and shinier, with her roots and ends blending seamlessly. The best part, she didn’t lose volume or curl definition.
Her new routine will be easier than ever:
✨ Faster wash days
✨ Frizz-free styling
✨ Curls that dry more evenly
✨ Longer-lasting styles
Now that her texture is unified, she can confidently wear her hair straight or curly, both will look effortlessly polished.
