Today, we’re diving into the stunning results my client achieved with just one keratin treatment a year and a half ago. If you’ve ever wondered how to maintain healthy, manageable hair while enhancing your natural texture, you’re in the right place. I’ll also share some essential tips and products to help you achieve similar results.
What is a Keratin Treatment?
For those new to the world of keratin, a keratin treatment is a smoothing procedure designed to strengthen hair and reduce frizz. This is accomplished by infusing keratin—a natural protein found in hair, skin, and nails—into the hair shaft. The treatment fills in weak areas and is sealed with heat, creating a protective layer that makes hair feel stronger and smoother.
In today’s session, I used my favorite Cezanne Smoothing Keratin Treatment, which is 100% formaldehyde-free and utilizes natural ingredients. This product is crucial for maintaining the integrity of curly hair while achieving beautiful results. Clients love it because it has a pleasant scent—no harsh chemical fumes here!
Benefits of Keratin Treatments for Curly Hair
Keratin treatments are especially beneficial for curly hair as they help define curls and make detangling much easier. Here are some key benefits:
Reduces Frizz: Smooths the cuticle, making curls more manageable.
Retains Moisture: Creates a barrier that keeps hair hydrated.
Minimizes Breakage: Strengthens hair, reducing the likelihood of snapping during styling.
Tools and Products for Keratin Treatments
Blow Dryer: To prep the hair and assist in the treatment application.
Flat Iron: For sealing the keratin into the hair.
How to Maintain Your Keratin Treatment
To maximize the benefits of a keratin treatment, consistency in your hair care routine is vital. Here’s what my client does to keep her hair healthy:
Regular Salon Visits: She comes in every four months for treatments and trims. This proactive approach helps address any issues before they escalate.
Minimal Wash Routine: Keeping her wash day efficient is key. She washes and deep conditions her hair weekly to maintain moisture and strength without overwhelming herself with a long process.
Supplemental Care: The keratin treatment is not a crutch but rather a supportive element in her overall hair care regimen.
My Client’s Hair Transformation
Let’s take a look at my client’s hair. One year ago, we were working on growing out her color-treated hair. We decided to give her a keratin treatment would be best to keep her hair strong as she grew out the color on her ends. After bleaching her hair, those ends became fragile and she didn’t want to experience any hair breakage.
One year ago
After just one keratin treatment a year and a half ago, her hair has flourished. We’ve seen tremendous growth, volume, and vibrancy. The results speak for themselves— the overall look is healthy and full.
