A keratin treatment is an intensive conditioning treatment that repairs and protects the hair from environmental pollutants, heat styling, and other damage. The process lasts about three hours and involves a light protein bond being applied to the hair shaft. There are many benefits for keratin treatments including: reduced frizzing, softer texture, decreased breakage from brushing or combing, increased elasticity in damaged areas of the hair. A keratin treatment can be done as a one-time service or periodically to maintain your desired results. It can also be done with a haircut too! Here is a list of the benefits:
• Improved look and feel of hair.
• Curls and waves stay in longer

How often should I have a keratin treatment done? Hairdressers recommend that you come every 3-4 months to maintain your hair’s health. Some people choose to have their treatments done just before special occasions, however, this may not be the best idea because the effects only last for about three months, and having them this close together will damage your hair.
What are the side effects of keratin treatments? Some say that having a treatment done can be very damaging to your hair if not performed correctly or by inexperienced professionals. Overprocessing, poor application technique, and incorrect aftercare techniques have led to numerous complaints about severe damage being caused to clients’ locks. There is also criticism because many keratin treatments contain formaldehyde or other carcinogenic ingredients. The following information is the important things to be considered before trying it:
• It can cause scalp irritation and dermatitis
• Can damage hair if done too frequently, so its use must be carefully administered
• Heat from blow dryers and flat irons should not be applied to the hair for two days following treatment
• May cause allergic reactions in some clients
• It must be left on the hair for several hours, which means that it can’t be washed or rinsed out like other types of dyes and treatments. Are there any alternative ways? No, not really.

The most natural version of a keratin treatment is through eggs and mayonnaise.

Wrap your hair with a towel and leave it on for about 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse out and shampoo as normal.
Do not use this more than once every two weeks as it can dry out the hair and cause breakage.
