What is a Keratin Smoothing Treatment? The Pros and Cons of Getting One

Do you have frizzy, unmanageable hair? Are you looking for a way to tame your locks and make them more manageable?


If so, you may be considering getting a keratin smoothing treatment. This is a popular hair service that many people choose to get done in order to achieve sleeker, shinier hair.


But what is a keratin smoothing treatment, exactly? And do the pros outweigh the cons of getting one? Keep reading to find out!


A keratin smoothing treatment is a type of hair service that helps to smooth the hair. The treatment works by infusing keratin, which is a protein, into the hair shaft.


This helps to fill in any gaps or damage in the hair, resulting in sleeker, shinier locks.


There are many different types of keratin smoothing treatments on the market today, so it's important to do your research and find one that is right for you and your hair type, and consult with your professional hair stylist.


One of the biggest pros of getting a keratin smoothing treatment is that it can help to make your hair more manageable.


If you have frizzy, unruly hair, a keratin treatment can help to tame it and make it easier to style. Keratin treatments can also last for several months, so you won't have to worry about your hair frizzing up or becoming unmanageable again for a while.



Another benefit of keratin smoothing treatments is that they can help to protect your hair from damage. The keratin protein can help prevent breakage and split ends.


Keratin treatments can also help to protect your hair from heat damage, so if you use heat styling tools frequently, this may be a good option for you.


The most obviously downside to a keratin smoothing treatment is that the treatments can be expensive initially. Depending on the type of treatment you choose and the length of your hair, a keratin treatment can cost anywhere from $100 to $600. Whilst, this may seem like a lot to outlay, keep in mind the results do last up to 4 months and the results can definitely be worth it!


Another thing to consider, is that keratin treatments may not be right for everyone. If you have very fine or thin hair, they can actually make your hair look and feel worse. This is because the keratin can weigh down your hair, making it appear flat and lifeless.


So, if you're considering a keratin treatment, be sure to consult with a professional to see if it's right for you.


Keratin smoothing treatments can be a great way to achieve sleeker, shinier and healthier looking hair.


There are however, some potential drawbacks that you should be aware of before you decide to get one.


This is why we encourage booking a free consultation with one of our professionals to figure out whether this treatment is best for you and your hair.
