Is a keratin treatment good for your hair?

Facts about Keratin

A keratin treatment, sometimes called a Brazillian Blowout or Brazilian keratin treatment, is a chemical procedure usually done in a salon that can make hair look straighter for as long as 6 months. It adds intense glossy shine to hair and can reduce frizz.

The process involves getting your hair washed, then having a stylist brush the treatment onto wet hair where it will sit for about 30 minutes.

Some hair stylists prefer to blow dry the hair first and apply the treatment to dry hair. They’ll then flat iron the hair in small sections to seal in the treatment.

Benefits of Keratin Treatment

Keratin smooths cells that overlap to form hair strands, which means more manageable hair and less frizz. This makes for hair that dries with little frizz and has a glossy, healthy look to it. Can reduce the look of split ends by temporarily bonding the hair back together.

Keratin treatments make hair more manageable, especially if your hair is particularly frizzy or thick.

Cons of keratin

Many (but not all) keratin treatments contain formaldehyde, which can be dangerous inhaled

Formaldehyde is what actually makes the hair look straighter.
