Keratin is a protein that is naturally found in hair, nails, and skin. The keratin solution used in the treatment is designed to coat the hair shaft and create a protective layer that helps to smooth out the hair. The flat iron is used to seal in the keratin and create a straight, sleek finish.

Keratin smoothing treatment can make hair smoother, softer, and more manageable. It can also reduce frizz, add shine, and make hair less prone to breakage. The effects can last for several months, depending on how well you care for your hair and how often you wash it.

Keratin smoothing treatment involves the use of chemicals and heat, which can be damaging to hair if not done properly. Some people may experience scalp irritation, hair breakage, or allergic reactions to the keratin solution. It is important to choose a reputable salon and an experienced stylist who knows how to perform the treatment safely.

After the treatment, it is important to avoid washing your hair for 48-72 hours to allow the keratin to fully set. You should also avoid using hair products that contain sulfates, as they can strip away the keratin and make your hair frizzy again. Regular trims and deep conditioning treatments can help to maintain the health of your hair and prolong the effects of the keratin treatment.

The cost of keratin smoothing treatment can vary depending on the salon and the length of your hair. It can range from $150 to $500 or more.
