The Keratin Guide: When and How
Keratin nourishes hair worn out by color and heat. Done right, it doesn't straighten your hair — it makes it healthier and easier to style.

What is keratin?
Keratin is the protein that makes up your hair, skin and nails. Over time hair loses some of it through chemical treatments, heat styling, sun and chlorine. A keratin treatment reintroduces protein into the strand to repair it.
Who is it for?
Great for colored or bleached hair, damaged or frizzy hair, and anyone whose blow-dry is taking too long. Very fine hair often needs a lighter formula. We usually run a strand test first.
Application steps
1. Assessment and strand test. 2. Deep-cleansing wash. 3. Keratin application and processing. 4. Heat sealing. 5. Final wash and care. A session takes roughly two to three hours depending on length.
Home care
For the first 48 hours don't tie your hair up, clip it or wash it. Use sulfate-free shampoo and a weekly mask. Before chlorinated pools, apply a leave-in conditioner to protect the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is keratin the same as straightening?
No. Keratin is a repair treatment, not straightening. Done properly, it doesn't erase your natural texture.
Can I color before keratin?
Yes, but order matters. Usually we color first and do keratin within a week. We plan it together based on your case.
