Information About Keratin Treatment Shampoo And Conditioner

By Shawn Hunter


Keratin is a type of protein that occurs naturally in human hair. It is the building block of hair, and as such, determines its characteristics. The frizzing and curling is as a result of the bonds in keratin. Curled or frizzed hair is sometimes undesirable and people want to have it straightened to improve looks. That is why keratin treatment shampoo and conditioner was invented.

The working mechanisms of keratin shampoos and conditioners involve breaking bonds in hair to straighten and beautify it. However, the effect is short-lived, it may last for a while, but the original properties are regained after some time. With proper care though, most products produce effects that can last over two months.

Many manufacturers have entered the production of keratin products because of the huge market. That has led to many products being sold around the world. Some products are good while others can do more damage than good. To be sure, it is best to consult a stylist about the brand to use. Reading client reviews is also a good way of knowing what to expect before trying a certain product out.

The length of time the application process takes varies depending on how long the hair is. However, most sessions last more than an hour. The first step involves cleaning the hair thoroughly using a suitable shampoo. Once well cleaned, it is blow dried before the chemical is applied. The application process has to be done section by section by use of hands. After that, time is allowed for the product to act on the hair. One has to sit and wait for a up to a half an hour.

The chemical can only be treated in using a hot iron after it is blow dried. The iron that is used for treating in the chemical is normally at over 450 degrees. For that reason, treating in cannot be done for a long time to avoid running into the possibility of burning. Once treated, three days must be waited before washing or styling the head.

The process results in shinier, straighter, and smoother hair. Although there is no proving evidence, some manufacturers argue that the hair is also healthier. Such hair makes one look more beautiful and they have to spend less time doing their hair. In essence, time needed to prepare in the morning is cut by half.

Since the effects do not last forever, it takes proper upkeep for them to last longer. If badly maintained, one may have to redo the whole process in less than a month. Proper upkeep involves regular washing, combing, and application of hair conditioner among many others. Lifestyle can also influence the length of time the effects can last before they wear out.

Most products differ in aspects such as suitability, size, availability, cost, and strength. There is always no guarantee that a product that worked well on one person will work the same way on another. Stylists can offer some advice on what product brand to use. Alternatively reviews made by clients can be helpful too.
