Keratin treatments are one of the most popular services at TNF Salon, and for good reason. They dramatically reduce frizz, cut down styling time, and leave your hair looking glossy and smooth for months. But what exactly happens during a keratin treatment? Let's break it down.
What Is a Keratin Treatment?
Keratin is a natural protein found in your hair. Over time, heat styling, chemical processes, and environmental factors deplete this protein, leaving hair dry, frizzy, and difficult to manage. A keratin treatment infuses the hair shaft with this protein, smoothing the cuticle and restoring its natural structure.
The Process
Your hair is first washed with a clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup. The keratin solution is then applied section by section and left to absorb fully into the hair. A flat iron seals the treatment into each strand with heat, and finally your hair is blow-dried to reveal the smooth, shiny result. The entire process takes 3–4 hours depending on hair length and thickness.
How Long Does It Last?
Most clients enjoy smooth, frizz-free hair for 3–5 months. Results vary based on hair type, the products used, and how well you follow the aftercare instructions.
Aftercare Tips
Wait 72 hours before washing your hair, and use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner going forward. Avoid tying your hair or using clips for the first three days, and minimise heat styling to extend the treatment's life.
