Keratin Straightening Treatmeants



Keratin is a tough natural protein found in hair skin and nails. The fibrous structure of keratin is what maintains the integrity of hair and skin. After perms and hair coloring, the hair is naturally damaged. The chemicals used in hair treatments degrade Keratin proteins. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a DTC spa that uses natural colorings and treatments. However, professionals use the powerful chemicals that damage hair. A keratin hair treatment can restore a hair's natural luster.

Even regular blow drying will fray hair and cause split ends. For the treatment, aldehyde is used to help the hair absorb the protein. Aldehyde is a relative to formaldehyde so it is interesting that another chemical is used to repair chemical. There is a Japanese alternative used at a Greenwood village spa uses thermal reconditioning to make permanently straightened air. Keratin treatments stop the hair from frizzing so it will stay in any form it is ironed into. The keratin treatments stop the hair from looking strange at first, however it is not permanent.

Without heat, the keratin will not be absorbed into the hair. The reason the DTC spa uses this kind of treatment to repair the hair without changing the structure of hair bonds. After treatment the hair is more manageable, according to Greenwood village spa stylists.

Once the treatment is applied, the hair needs to be blown until it is completely dry. The straightening process uses a hot flat iron to seal the keratin into the hair. After 72 hours, the hair should be washed with a sodium free shampoo solution. Then the treatment is complete and the customer should have soft hair ready for styling.

The solution is toxic, so if any eye or throat irritation occurs you may need to wear a mask or discontinue. The Brazilian style is easier to apply to any hair, and interestingly enough damaged hair is the easiest to straighten because it has lost some integrity.
