A keratin treatment is done by a certified stylist in a hair salon. A keratin treatment first involves a consultation with a specialist where hair is assessed and a patch test is performed.
When a Keratin Complex® hair treatment is applied, hair is repaired through our Signature Keratin and a unique blend of ingredients that reinforce weak spots in the hair’s structure to make the hair healthier, stronger and smoother
The keratin treatment is then sealed into the cuticle through the heating process (blow-dry and flat iron) to repair damage and block the humidity that causes frizz. Results are cumulative: the more our keratin treatments are applied, the healthier hair becomes.
Everything You Need to Know About Keratin Hair Treatments
Keratin is a type of protein that is naturally found in hair, skin and nails. Hair us up to 95% keratin, but the depletion of keratin causes hair damage. Over time, keratin is depleted from the hair due to a variety of factors, from environmental factors like sun exposure, to daily stressors like heat styling.
At Keratin Complex®, we developed a solution to those daily hair stressors and environmental factors. We created Signature Keratin, a proprietary keratin that gives hair strength, elasticity and a youthful, healthy look; this signature keratin is an essential ingredient in our keratin hair treatments.
