Keratin Treatments for Curly Hair
Do you want stronger, shinier, more manageable curls?
Keratin treatments are perfect for the curly girl who wants to achieve healthier curls and better length retention.
Check out the tips below to learn how a keratin treatment may help you achieve your hair goals faster.
What is a Keratin Treatment?
Keratin is a natural protein that is vital to the health of your hair. It is responsible for strengthening the hair to prevent breakage, damage, and frizz. Over time, hair loses keratin due to environmental stressors, chemical treatments, over styling, and through daily wear and tear.
A keratin treatment replaces loss keratin by penetrating it deep into the hair shaft to rebuild and protect the hair from the inside out.
Are keratin Treatments safe for Naturally Curly Hair?
Keratin treatments are safer than ever before for curly hair. In the past, treatments were filled with harsh chemicals like formaldehyde. But after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a hazard alert to salons in 2011, updated formaldehyde free treatments are available.
A Cezanne Smoothing Treatment is 100% formaldehyde free and infuses the hair with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, keratin, glycolic acid, Vitamin C, E, B3, B5, B6, and green tea extracts. These ingredients leave the hair moisturized and stronger. The more the treatment is used, the healthier the hair gets.
What's The Process?
When getting a keratin treatment expect to spend about 3 hours in the salon, depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
Generally, the hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo, roughly dried, and then the treatment is applied to the hair like a color application. After the treatment has finished processing, the hair is blow dried and flat ironed to seal the keratin onto the hair.
Some treatments require a waiting period before you can wash your hair or even put it into a ponytail. However, a Cezanne Smoothing Treatment has no wait time and you can wash your hair, wear a wash n' go and even color it afterward.
What's The Maintenance?
A keratin treatment can last in your hair between 3- 5 months. Since the treatment coats the hair, the more you shampoo, the faster it washes away. It is a good rule of thumb to wash the hair with a keratin safe shampoo, like the Moisture Shampoo, no more than once a week.
When shampooing, focus on scrubbing the scalp and letting the suds wash over your strands. This will prolong the treatment while maintaining the health of your hair and scalp.
Deep condition weekly to reinforce the treatment. The Deep Repair Treatment contains keratin protein that helps rebuild the hair and prolong a keratin treatment that has started to fade.
Will a Keratin Treatment Ruin My Curls?
Unlike relaxers, that alter the makeup of your curls to make them straight, a keratin treatment smoothes curls and elongates them (only a bit) until the treatment washes out.
It is important to book your keratin treatment with a licensed hair professional to ensure they are using quality products and the proper technique to apply your treatment. When done right a keratin treatment can help repair damaged hair, make it stronger, more manageable and help you retain length.
