Brazilian keratin treatment revives dry and fuzzy hair, makes it look much stronger, healthier and under control. It will take you an hour and a half or two to get your perfect "keratin hair". If the hair is long and thick the treatment will last longer. The hairdresser washes and partially dries hair, before hair keratin preparation starts. Keratin penetrates into your hair with blow drying and the most important thing is to iron hair on high temperature. If you are not good with flat iron, better leave it to experts.
With right care, effects of treatment can last up to 9 months. Most women do it even after 4 months. First warning is not to wash hair in the next 3 days. Fix it with flat iron few times and be patient. After you wash it for the first time you will see your hair at its best. Shampoos must be without sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) and free sulfates, because that will retain the keratin in the hair. Swimming at pools or in sea is not the best choice, need to avoid chlorine and brine. But, if your hair gets wet by accident in the first 3 days, it is necessary to dry it and use flat iron with low or medium heat. Color your hair few days before treatment, or on the same day, but never after. Need to wait at least 2 or 3 weeks.
Brazilian keratin hair treatment is good for ironed or chemically treated hair. For the best results don't tie hair, nor wear clasps, headbands, ribbons. Free your hair. Scarves and hats are allowed after few weeks. It depends on the individual, but most women renew treatment after 4 months, some even earlier. In first days after getting "keratin braids" don't use varnish, foam or gel. New hairstyle that includes cutting your hair should be done after treatment. Women with virgin hair don't get the best results, but those with dull, dry, brittle, damaged hair are usually trilled. Big fans of Brazilian keratin hair treatment are people with curly, frizzy, wavy, unmanageable hair.
If you are allergic to keratin this is not treatment for you. Best thing is to test yourself. Some hairdressers ask for customer to do a 24 hour patch test, to be sure, because side effects can be severe. Formaldehyde, present in some keratin treatments, is dangerous toxin. Be very careful if you are doing treatment by yourself. If you are not sure you're fit for the job, leave it for the hands of expert.
