Hair keratin is made of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Keratin is the key structural protein that makes the hair, skin, and outer layers of your skin. It is what gives you straight and strong hair. However, the protein is weaker in curly and textured hair.
The keratin treatment improves the texture and quality of hair, making it smoother and shinier. Harsh shampoo use, frequent blow-drying and straightening, and hair colouring can deplete the keratin protein, resulting in hair damage. This protein is replenished in every strand of the hair during the keratin treatment, making it more lustrous. Your hair will be frizz-free, straight, and more manageable after keratin treatment.
Why change your shampoo post-keratin ?
Harsh shampoos containing sulfates in the formula can remove the keratin treatment from the hair or provide uneven results. To avoid this, maintain the health of your hair, beginning with changing your shampoo to meet your new hair needs.
Sodium Chloride and Sulfate-Free Shampoos
Since sulfates are harsh lathering agents that prematurely strip the hair, sodium works to dissolve keratin. Using sulfate and sodium chloride-free shampoos helps retain the keratin treatment. Keratin Beauty has a range of organic shampoos for keratin-treated hair.
Rejuvenate your hair after keratin treatment.
Argan oil offers outstanding healing properties for damaged hair. It makes hair more resistant to the heat and chemicals used in the keratin treatment process. Using a shampoo containing Argan oil keeps hair moisturized and protects the keratin protein.
Excessive hair fall
Very often, due to the chemicals and heat used on your hair during the keratin treatment, the hair texture might change, leading to excessive hair fall. Using a keratin shampoo and Panthenol helps hold water molecules with hair proteins, promoting hair reconstruction.
Chemical-free Shampoos
As the keratin treatment can be stressful on your hair, using a chemical-free, organic, or natural shampoo will help relax your scalp and hair. Ingredients like citrus, almond oil, rosemary, and jojoba oil are good post-treatment. Keratin Beauty features hair care products that help restore damaged hair while conditioning and strengthening it.
Now that you know the importance of shampoo for keratin-treated hair, let us discuss the other ways to maximize your keratin treatment for long-lasting results.
Keep your hair dry.
Following a Keratin hair care treatment, avoid wetting your hair for three days. However, the duration changes with various keratin treatments. Remember to consult your hairstylist about the appropriate action following the keratin process.
Post-Keratin Care Tips
Avoid over-washing your hair.
Don't wash your hair every day. Depending on your hair and the type of keratin treatment, you may have an oily scalp for the next few days. In this case, take a mild shampoo for keratin-treated hair and refrain from harsh shampoos for a minimum of three months. If you can go days without washing your hair and still have it looking clean, invest in a good shower cap for keeping water out.
Let your hair down.
During the first few days post keratin treatment, refrain from tying hair up or tucking it behind the ears. Your hair is at its most vulnerable point, and tying it may result in hair breakage or uneven results.
Use a Silk Pillowcase
Using a silk pillowcase can reduce friction and hair frizz, help smooth hair, and make it less prone to damage. On the other hand, a cotton pillowcase creates friction and frizzy hair.
Blow-Dry Your Hair After Working Out
For the first three days after keratin treatment, your hair must be completely dry and sweat-free. To maximize the treatment's effects, consider blow-drying any wet hair after a workout.
Get a shower filter
Consider installing a shower filter to remove harsh minerals from the water to prevent your hair from losing its keratin treatment. It is a good idea to wake up every morning looking like you just left a salon with little to no effort. To obtain long-lasting results and prevent future hair damage, you must take the best care of your treated hair. Therefore, it's essential to moisturize the hair and keep it free of chemicals.
