yes , washing is the first step.Because the keratin will be on your hair afterwords,you will not need to wash it and don't worry it's not stickky or stinky it smells good. I'm talking about my experience.The keratin that was used on my hair was strong but it didn't stink. go to www.myshoutsofjoy.com the owner of that salon is very very good and I'm not kidding
Your hair should be colored before a BK treatment. Because the hair is sealed off during the BK treatment the color might not be able to penetrate into the cuticle. And if the color is hash on the hair, like box color or bleach, it will strip the hair of the BK treatment. It is best to wait until the BK treatment wears off in about two to four months.
As with any chemical treatment it is always recommended to seek your doctors approval before using a keratin treatment. In the case of Sobe Sexy Keratin Smoothing Therapy which is an amino nutritive carbocisteine keratin treatment labs results indicate that there is no toxicity or harmful fumes so pregnant women should not have any problems having the treatment performed. However, as an additional precaution professionals should always perform a test on a a strand of hair to ensure the customer does not present any alergic reaction or sensitivity to the treatment.
Depending on the type of keratin treatment used, you should be able to color hair following a treatment. Keratin is the main type of protein that is found in hair. Protein is what give hair its strength, and also gives color something to bond to. It is often a good idea to do a protein treatment both before and after a coloring service to keep your hair strong and healthy and to help your color to last.
i use a keratin based leave in conditioner sometimes and i haven't seen any change in my hair color. If you do a keratin straightening treatment i don't think it should change your hair color either, I've seen before after pics of people with the keratin treatment and it didn't do anything to their hair. It does cause some heat damage and that might change your hair color though...
Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a hair straightening process that uses a keratin-based solution to temporarily smooth and straighten the hair. The treatment works by infusing the hair with keratin, a protein that helps to repair and strengthen the hair shaft. Heat is then applied to seal the keratin into the hair, resulting in smooth, frizz-free, and straight hair.
Bella U Salon in the Toys R Us plaza on pine ridge/airport, EXCELLENT job, i've gotten the treatment done at another salon before and the results were no where near as good as what I received at Bella U, Marcie is the stylist who did mine, she is excellent!
Wait three or four days after getting your keratin treatment before washing your hair. That's generally the amount of time it takes the keratin to penetrate and really starts working on your hair. Wash your hair any sooner, and you'll lose the effect of the treatment.
you basically just spent all that money for nothing.
It depends on your hair type & the temperature its treated with the keratin. I had kinky frizzy hair & the keratin home treatment made it pin straight and it will barely hold a curl. Talk to a stylist with experience in keratin before you do anything to your hair.
It is good for you because the Keratin is a vital protein for your hair. It leaves your hair luscious and shiny, and without Keratin, your hair will disintegrate.It is bad for you because the formaldehyde is a harmful chemical that causes fumes, and after 4 months, your hair will be worse than it was before you had the treatment, and because you can get cancer.Actually, the answers above are both right. I know that you may be skeptical of whether or not you should get the Keratin Treatment. The truth is, some Keratin Treatments are safe while others are not. The Brazilian Keratin Treatments (BK T) has an ingredient, formaldehyde, which is a very harmful cancer causing agent.However, some Keratin Treatments don't have formaldehyde at all, but if it doesn't, your hair will be back to normal after just 1 wash.Some brands use the harmful formaldehyde in their Keratin Treatments, because it helps keep your hair straight even longer than if it didn't include the formaldehyde. That way, they can increase the price. The problem is, some brands (like BK T) that use formaldehyde, claim that you will get smooth, silky hair using Keratin (which is a very vital nutrient for your hair). The thing is, BK T's product wouldn't have been nearly as effective if the ingredient formaldehyde wasn't included.However, Keratin Treatments WITHOUT THE FORMALDEHYDE DO EXIST! Keratin is really good for your hair, so Keratin Treatments would be good to use for your hair. Just make sure that when you get it done, check the label to see if it includes formaldehyde. If it includes formaldehyde, don't do it! The long term affects would just be bad. After 4 months, your hair will end up worse that it was before you got the treatment, and you can get cancer.IF YOU DECIDE TO GET THE KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT DONE, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE LABEL FOR THESE INGREDIENTS!: Formaldehyde, Formalin, Aldehyde, AldehydeIF ANY OF THOSE INGREDIENTS WERE MENTIONED ON THE BOTTLE, EITHER DON'T DO THE TREATMENT, WEAR A MASK, OR CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TRY HOLDING YOUR BREATH.
I know you can treat your hair after a perm but not a treatment on before a perm because you will irritate your scalp because of the scratching but if you do treat your hair before give it at least 48 hours to set .
after for best results and softness
