What to Expect From a Keratin Hair Treatment
Keratin Hair Treatment: What to Expect From Your Consultation to The Final Result
If your hair is prone to frizz, difficult to manage or takes far too long to style, a keratin hair treatment could make a real difference to your everyday routine.
At Hair & The Hound Salon in Twickenham, our stylists regularly carry out professional hair smoothing treatments for clients who want smoother, shinier and more manageable hair without having to spend hours blow-drying and styling it at home.
You may have heard these treatments called a Brazilian blow dry, permanent blow dry, keratin treatment or hair smoothing treatment. While the names can vary, the important thing is choosing a treatment that is suitable for your hair, your lifestyle and the result you actually want.
If you ready to transform your hair, please book a consultation by calling 0203 474 0882 or book online.
What happens during a keratin treatment consultation?
A good keratin treatment starts before the products are applied.
Your stylist will take the time to talk through your hair, what you would like to achieve and how you normally look after it. They can assess your hair's condition, texture and previous colour or chemical services before recommending the most appropriate treatment. This is particularly important because no two heads of hair are the same. Some clients want to dramatically reduce frizz and make their hair much easier to manage, while others are looking for smoother, shinier hair while retaining some of their natural movement.
Rather than simply choosing a treatment from a menu, your stylist can talk you through what to expect and help you understand how the finished result should look and feel.
Watch our consultation Reel to see how we guide clients through the process and explain the treatment step by step.
Can a Brazilian blow dry make hair completely straight?
This is one of the most common questions clients ask, and the answer depends on your hair and the treatment selected. Keratin and smoothing treatments are designed to improve manageability, reduce frizz and create a smoother finish. They can also make blow-drying and styling considerably easier. The finished result will depend on your natural hair texture, condition and the effect you are looking for.
If you have curly, wavy, coarse or frizz-prone hair, your stylist can discuss whether you are looking to maintain some of your natural movement or achieve a smoother, straighter finish. This is another reason why a professional consultation matters. Your stylist can give you a realistic idea of what the treatment can achieve rather than promising the same result for every client.
What happens during a keratin hair treatment?
Once you and your stylist have agreed on the right approach, the treatment itself is carried out in stages.
Your hair is prepared before the smoothing product is applied. Your stylist works carefully through the hair, ensuring it is treated appropriately before the product is processed and the hair is blow-dried and styled. The treatment is then sealed into the hair using heat. The exact process can vary according to the product and your individual hair, which is why having the treatment carried out by an experienced professional is so important.
Your stylist will explain what they are doing as they go, so you are not left wondering what happens next.
