Everything you need to know about Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatments.
Keratin Smoothing Treatments are an incredibly popular treatment at Pink Ginger Hair & Skin. The treatment takes our clients from frizzy to controllable hair making it easier to manage and style.
What is it?
The body naturally makes the protein keratin — it’s what hair and nails are made up of. The keratin in these treatments may be derived from wool, feathers, or horns. Certain shampoos and conditioners contain keratin, but you’ll typically get the greatest benefits from a salon treatment done by a professional.
How does it work?
Keratin protein is found in the hair and it acts as a shield against humidity, exposure to wind and sun damage. Hair colouring and heat styling over time can cause depletion of the hairs natural keratin. Keratin Smoothing treatment fills the gaps where the Keratin is depleted.
Keratin Smoothing is NOT a straightening treatment – however, it is important to note that it can permanently change the structure of curls in the hair. Remember, Keratin treatments are not a chemical service, it is a treatment. This means there is no damage to your hair! They generally last from 3-5 months in the hair in the case where the correct home hair care is used.
What are the benefits?
- Smooth the cuticle of the hair
- Prevent frizz caused by humidity
- Make blow-drying faster and easier
- Decrease tangling of the hair.
- Keratin can strengthen and fortify hair, so it doesn’t easily break off. This can make hair seem to grow faster because the ends aren’t breaking off
- if you constantly heat style your hair, you’ll notice that with a keratin treatment your hair dries more quickly. Some people estimate that keratin cuts their drying time by more than half.
- Gives the hair a smoother and shiner appearance.
