KERATIN TREATMENT

Keratin is a family of fibrous, structural proteins in your hair, nails, and skin, that provides strength and protection.  In hair, there are two types of Keratin- Acidic Type I and Basic Type II. When hair keratin becomes damaged, the hair will begin to look dry and brittle.

A Keratin treatment is a process where a hair straightening product is placed on the hair and then sealed in by the heat of a flat iron.  The treatment strengthens the hair shaft and makes hair more resilient to breakage and the elements.  Results should last three to five months depending on lifestyle and maintenance routine.

The most used Keratin treatment is the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy by Coppola.  Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy was founded by world-renowned stylist, salon owner and television personality, Peter Coppola. His life-long passion and talent lies in creating beautiful hair using the finest products available. This product promotes healing, blocks the effects of humidity, and prevents environmental toxins from entering the hair.  It makes hair more manageable, shinier, smoother, and easier to style. All types of hair benefit from the smoothing therapy, even color-treated and chemically processed hair.

After the treatment, you will have 95% less “frizzy” hair.  Also, if hair is usually styled straight, blow-drying time will be shortened by 40% – 60%.  The rule of thumb is to NOT wash hair for three to four days post-treatment.  This is because the treatment solution takes time to work properly.  The hair is also not to be pulled back with band, clips or anything that can cause an impression and deter the treatment results.

This service is available only in salons and  is to be administered by aspecially trained stylist.

*Fun Fact*

Keratin is such a good coating the pharmacies use the same protein for the smooth coating on pills.
