More about permanent straighteners and Micro Keratin
In the past, stylist had very limited choices to help their clients manage their hair at home. Permanent straighteners we meant to be used to remove unwanted curls not to remove frizz. Since Permanent straighteners have been made popular, we are now beginning to notice the damage caused by straighteners.
Keratin treatments do not damage/alter or change the molecular structure of the hair in any way. They coat the hair on the outside locking and sealing any colour underneath it, protecting the hair. Permanent straighteners however, change the molecular structure causing the damages. Yes, The keratin treatment will wash away after a some months but at least it wouldn’t leave the hair dry and damaged.

Can a Keratin be done to hair that was straightened 3 weeks ago?

Hi Geraldine,
Yes it can be done but we recommend that your stylist assess the condition of the hair first. If the hair is feeling dry and brittle then, do not attempt it. Keratin treatments require a 230 degrees heat temperature to seal the treatment in. This may cause the hair to break as it may be too hot for a fragile condition of hair.
