Keratin hair treatments, also known as Brazilian hair straightening are a simple permanent hair straightening procedure that has had great results for many people around the world. Unlike some hair straightening procedures, such as Japanese hair straightening keratin hair straightening doesn’t ensure perfectly straight hair every time, the results are highly dependent on the type of hair you have. A typical keratin hair treatment will effectively smooth around 70 percent of curls. This treatment is recommended for people with already somewhat straight hair or those who just wish to tame their curls or frizz. This treatment will last an average of 3 or 4 months and should keep hair straight until new and untreated hair grows in.

The keratin hair straightening procedure is quite simple, and doesn’t involve any dangerous foreign chemical additions and so is safe for all types of hair, in fact, the only addition to your hair is keratin, which is a key and essential protein in the growth and health of hair. The treatment starts with the initial keratin application, which is applied to every last bit of hair through a specialized shampoo. Once every last bit of hair is covered in the keratin solution, the thermal conditioning begins. This process is done through one of the best hair straightener models, and hair is repeatedly straightened as many as 6 times until hair is completely straight and the keratin is fully bound to hair.

Once the treatment is over you can’t put up, wash, touch or tie your hair in any way for at least 3 days or else the keratin hair straightening treatment will be ruined. This treatment costs an average of 240 dollars, though price depends on the area and stylist. I would suggest getting a highly trained stylist to complete this type of treatment or else the results will typically be less than perfect.
