Keratin Smoothing Treatment
The Keratin Smoothing Treatment (known also as Brazilian Blowout, Coppola Keratin Treatment or Keratin Complex) is a smoothing method that infuses Keratin deep into your hair cuticle reducing up to ninety-five percent of frizz leaving your hair smooth, shiny and luxurious. The Keratin method temporarily "straightens" your hair as the Keratin is sealed into your hair with a flat iron.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment should be concidered a "longer lasting blow out" for your hair. Although the treatment does not last forever, results typically last up to three months depending on your hair type. Originating in Brazil, the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is suited to be performed on every type of chemically treated hair. The treatment is gentle enough to use on all hair types: color treated, chemically processed, bleached or highlighted. It is ideal for mistreated, unhealthy, and very damaged hair.
This process does not guarantee completely straight hair. It will reduce up to 90 percent of the natural curls and wave depending on texture, if done correctly and reduces the time spent on styling drastically without reducing the natural volume from the hair. The Keratin therapy encases the hair follicle in a healthy bond which promotes healing, blocks humidity and prevents toxins from entering the hair. Keratin treatment is considered life changing. It rejuvenates and revitalizes the hair, giving it a softer, silkier feel that everyone praises.
Have you ever dreamed of having healthy, shiny, lustrous hair? Hair that is softer? Smoother? More manageable? If the answer to these questions is yes, a Keratin Smoothing Treatment might be what you need.
