Keratin Treatment in Cary – Smooth & Strengthen Your Hair
We offer GK products to make sure your hair stays healthy, straight and strong!
What is a Keratin Treatment?
A keratin treatment is a hair-smoothing procedure designed to tame frizz, enhance shine, and improve manageability. Unlike chemical straightening treatments, keratin treatments do not permanently straighten the hair. Instead, they create a protective protein coating that seals the hair cuticle, reducing the movement of moisture in and out of each strand.
During the keratin treatment procedure, your stylist applies a keratin-infused formula to your hair, followed by a rough blow-dry and a flat iron finish to lock in the treatment. This process takes 1 to 3 hours, and results typically last up to 3 months, depending on hair type and aftercare.
While keratin hair treatments work well on coarse or unruly textures, they do involve high heat and strong ingredients. Our stylists use professional-grade formulas to ensure safe, effective results tailored to your hair’s needs.
Our Keratin Treatment Process
We follow a structured approach to deliver long-lasting frizz reduction and sleek, healthy hair:
-
Preparation: We start by blow-drying your hair to create an optimal base for treatment application.
-
Application: A professional keratin formula is evenly distributed throughout your hair to ensure consistent coverage.
-
Processing Time: The treatment sits for 1 to 3 hours, depending on your curl pattern and desired level of smoothness.
-
Sealing & Finishing: After rinsing, we perform a standard hair straightening procedure to lock in your results, ensuring you leave the salon with sleek, frizz-free hair.
Keratin Treatment Aftercare – 72-Hour Guidelines
The first 72 hours after a keratin hair treatment are crucial for maintaining long-lasting smoothness. Follow these strict aftercare rules:
Keep Hair Completely Dry
-
Avoid water—no washing, sweating, swimming, saunas, or steam exposure.
-
Wear a shower cap when showering or washing your face.
-
Use a dry shampoo, such as Keratin Complex (a brand we offer!), if needed.
Avoid Kinking or Creases
-
No hair clips, ponytail holders, hats, sunglasses, or braids.
-
Don’t tuck hair behind your ears or create tension on strands.
-
Sleep with hair loose to prevent unwanted bends or marks.
For frizz reduction and long-lasting results, follow this aftercare plan closely. Need personalized recommendations? Book a consultation today at Salon Saia in Cary and let our specialists help you achieve smooth, healthy hair with a professional keratin treatment!
