Meet the Experts
What Is a Keratin Treatment?
@keratincomplex
“Keratin in and of itself works with theporosity of the hair.
This allows versatility to style wavy or straight as desired.”
(For reference: at Pierre Michel Salon, it costs $450 for a single treatment).

(As a side note, keratin treatments are not recommended for women who are currently pregnant).
“Then, the keratin solution is applied to the wet hair and combed through.
(Note: the solution may feel a little itchy on the scalp).”
“To maintain your results, you must use sodium chloride-free hair products.
The Final Takeaway
Keratin is great for those who want long-term straight, smooth hair.
Shampooing too soon can remove the treatment from your hair if it has not had enough time to sit.
You should also avoid touching it for up to three days post-treatment to avoid denting.
