The strands on our head are made of keratin proteins which are held together by disulfide bonds that give hair its elasticity, strength and curl pattern. How curly your hair is depends on the number of disulfide bonds it has. By chemically breaking these bonds, the keratin can be realigned and straightened. Think of it as a reverse perm. The solution is applied at the scalp then pulled through to rearrange the strands in a straight line.
Such relaxers are most popular for thick, Afro-Caribbean hair. The process needs to be repeated every eight weeks to address regrowth. While home kits are readily available and cost-effective, these products also make it easy to over process the hair. Another risky relaxer move includes not waiting the recommended amount of time between touch-ups. This process uses chemicals and heat to alter the structure of hair, loosening hair proteins, then reshaping hair cells.
Can you do the treatment on virgin hair? But it wont last as long as a previously coloured or chemically treated hair. Can I colour my hair and do the treatment? We recommend you colour the hair first. Can I wash my hair after the treatment, and when? Yes, but only 3 whole days after you have done the treatment. Can I wear a ponytail or tie my hair? No, only 3 days after doing the treatment. What should I do if my hair gets wet during the first 3 days? Blow dry immediately.
Can I go into the pool or ocean after the treatment? A stylist suggested that I get a keratin treatment. My first thought was, Do Black people do that? So I went for it. My results? It has changed my hair life I get a treatment every three months. I typically wear my hair straight, so my being able to complete a blow-out and flat iron in less than an hour is game-changing.
My hair also detangles more easily and sheds a lot less. Can I swim in a pool or the ocean after a keratin treatment? Both chlorine and salt will, however, shorten the life span of your treatment. After you finish swimming, you should rinse your hair with clear water. We highly discourage sitting in the sun with salt or chlorine residue left on your hair.
How long will the results last? Depending upon your hair type and the maintenance and hair care products that you use following your treatment, the results can last from 6 weeks to 5 months. What type of hair care products should be used after getting a treatment? We do not recommend using over the counter hair care products. Instead, you should opt for a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner that will not strip the keratin from your hair. We have several professional products that we highly recommend that will offer UV protection and added keratin to help reinforce the strength and elasticity of hair.
These products are specially formulated to provide long lasting results. When you visit our Naples hair salon for your keratin treatment, one of our stylists can share specific recommendations.
