If you have been considering at-home keratin or are simply curious about the treatment process, this step-by-step guide will take you through the experience from start to finish. And here’s how to do it for salon-quality results without leaving home.
What is Keratin and Why is It Good for Your Hair?
Keratin is a natural protein that’s found in hair, skin and nails, where it helps provide structure and strength. In the long run, hair is stripped of keratin as a result of heat styling, chemical treatments, environmental damage, etc. A keratin treatment essentially infuses the protein back into the hair, restoring the lost protein, which helps repair damaged strands, as healthy, shiny, and manageable hair.
Keratin treatments are a miracle for:
Fighting frizz: Eliminate frizz, particularly in humidity.
Smoothing hair: Reduces the curl and wave in hair, making it easier to style.
Strengthens hair: It repairs damaged hair and prevents breakage.
Adding shine: Adds a sleek, healthy shine to hair.
Step-by-Step Guide to Apply Keratin to Hair
Now that you know the advantages of keratin, let’s talk about how to use it to your hair. For a professional finish, simply follow these steps:
Preparation
Let’s get started With Keratin Hair Treatment Preparation
Wash your hair: Use clarifying shampoo to cleanse buildup from the hair to make sure that the keratin can fully penetrate into the hair. Skip the conditioner: It can leave a coating on your hair that might interfere with the treatment.
Towel drying: Towel-dry your hair gently and leave it slightly moist as this helps to better absorb the treatment.
Gather your tools: You’ll need the keratin treatment product (found in professional kits), a comb, clips, gloves and a blow dryer.
Section Your Hair
Use clips to section your hair off into small bits. This allows the product to be applied evenly and ensures that all your hair receives treatment. Begin with the lower layers of hair and work upwards.
Apply the Keratin Treatment
Root down: This keratin treatment should be applied to sections starting from the roots and working to the tips. Using a comb, distribute the product through your hair evenly.
Wear gloves: Always wear gloves to prevent the treatment from getting on your hands. Apply plentries onto each section as needed for even coverage.
Let the Treatment Sit
After applying the keratin, let it dry for a recommended period of time (usually 30 – 60 minutes) so that your hair can fully absorb the product. The treatment won’t work immediately, so don’t rush this step.
Blow Dry Your Hair
Once the treatment is absorbed, use a round brush to blow-dry your hair straight; heat helps seal the keratin into the hair shaft and smooth over the kinks. Dry your hair with a blow-dryer at medium or low temperatures so as not to damage it.
Flat Iron Your Hair
This is important to guarantee the keratin adheres to your hair. Slowly glide the flat iron (on the setting as recommended, typically around 400°F) over each section of your hair as previously discussed—4-7x on each section. The heat activates and sets the keratin, resulting in straight, glossy hair.
Let Your Hair Cool
After you’ve flat-ironed all your hair, let it cool for 30 minutes to an hour. This allows the keratin to set and fully bond to your hair.
Rinse and Style
Lastly, rinse your hair gently (if the product permits) or leave it like that according to your keratin kit’s instructions. With some treatments, you may also have to avoid washing hair for 48-72 hours (or so), to allow the treatment to settle properly.
When the waiting period is over, you will have softer, shinier, frizz-free hair. You can simply style your hair as you normally would.
Tips for Maintaining Your Keratin-Treated Hair
Once you have applied the keratin treatment, the next step is taking care of your hair to keep it as healthy as ever. Here are some tips:
Do not wash your hair too often: Washing your hair too often will remove the keratin, thus, decreasing the longevity of the treatment. Try to shampoo your hair 2-3 times a week.
Shampoos that do not contain sulfate: Due to their nature, sulfates dissolve the keratin, hence, you must opt for a sulfate-free shampoo to retain that smoothness and natural shine.
Don’t overheat-style: While keratin can assist with heat protection, it’s best to minimize straighteners, curling irons and blow dryers to keep hair healthy.
Maintain: The keratin treatment will gradually fade away over time, and a touch-up is suggested every 2-3 months to keep your hair in top shape.
