How a keratin treatment works

  1. Hair diagnosis

    We assess porosity and damage to choose the keratin level.
  2. Clarifying wash

    Removes build-up so keratin bonds evenly.
  3. Keratin application

    Applied section by section from root area to ends.
  4. Processing

    The formula is left to absorb.
  5. Flat-iron sealing

    Heat seals the keratin into the hair.
  6. Finish & aftercare

    A smooth finish and instructions for the first 48 hours.

Scalp care at home

  • Wash with lukewarm, not hot, water.
  • Dry the scalp fully — don't sleep with damp roots.
  • Use a scalp scrub or clarifying shampoo once a week if oily.
  • Book a head spa every 2–4 weeks for ongoing scalp care.

Keratin treatment FAQ

How long does a keratin treatment last?

Typically 6–12 weeks, depending on how often you wash and which shampoo you use.

Is keratin the same as a straight perm?

No. Keratin smooths and reduces frizz; a straight perm permanently changes the hair's shape.

Can I wash my hair after keratin?

Follow your stylist's advice — usually wait 48 hours and use sulfate-free shampoo.
