Keratin FAQ: Q: How long does it last? A: Three to six months, depending on the type of shampoo you use (it should be sulfate-free), how frequently you wash your hair, and if you swim or go to the beach a lot.
Q: How long do I have to wait to wash my hair? A: 24 to 72 hours, depending on the formula we use, your hair type, and the specific recommendation of your stylist.
Q: Can I sweat, run, go to the gym, run through the rain, or otherwise get my hair wet inside of the 24 to 72 hour window recommended by my stylist? A: No. (But if it does happen to get wet, do not iron it. Use your blow dryer set to medium heat until it's dry.)
Q: How straight can I expect my hair to be after the keratin treatment? A: We see straightening results of up to 65-75% in most of our guests. Keratin treatments are intended to repair damaged hair not straighten it (it's simply a desirable co-effect). If you would like stick-straight hair, we have other services we can suggest.
Q: Will my hair be as straight after the first wash as when I walked out of the salon? A: No. If you would like it straight again, you'll need to blow-dry and iron it -BUT- the good news is, it should take you considerably less time to do it now.
Q: Is your keratin formaldehyde-free? A: We have a formaldehyde-free version available.
Q: Which brand do you use? A: We use several depending on which is right for your hair. Mainly Copolla, KeraFusion, and 4ever Smooth.
Q: I'm also getting a color, when should I do my keratin? A: We recommend doing your keratin immediately following your color service.
Q: How long does the process take? A: The length of your hair and the density of your hair are huge factors. We suggest allowing yourself two to three hours. Q: My hair is considered extra long (hair longer than shoulder blades/bra strap), how much more will it cost me to have the keratin? A; Not much more, $25-50.
Q: Do I need a special shampoo and conditioner? A: Yes. It must be sulfate-free and salt-free. We can guarantee the results so long as you use the shampoos and conditioners we recommend. |
