Brazilian keratin treatments – what is it

It is a common misunderstanding that keratin treatments straighten hair. Here’s a simpler explanation of what a keratin treatment does, how it works, and why Mel’s Hair Salon provides a safe, quality service.

Keratin treatments: What they do and what they don’t
  • What it is: A keratin treatment (also known as Brazilian or Brazilian keratin treatment) is a semi-permanent hair treatment that repairs, softens, and smooths the hair.
  • What it is not: A keratin treatment does not permanently straighten hair. If your hair becomes pin-straight, it was likely due to a different or mixed chemical treatment.
  • How it works: Keratin is a protein that is naturally found in your hair but is depleted by things like heat, chemical dyes, and daily styling. A keratin treatment replaces this protein, which helps to eliminate frizz, add shine, and make hair more manageable.
  • For all hair types: All hair types can benefit from this treatment. For those with naturally curly hair, it will eliminate frizz but not remove the curl.

What to know before you book
  • Not permanent: Keratin treatments are not permanent; they wash out gradually over 3 to 6 months. To make the results last longer, you must use sulfate-free aftercare products.
  • Reduced styling time: By eliminating frizz, a keratin treatment can significantly reduce the amount of time you spend blow-drying and styling your hair.
