Discover which hair types benefit most from keratin treatments and what precautions to take before starting.

Preparing for Keratin Treatment at Home

Gather the essentials: a keratin kit, clarifying shampoo, and tools like a blow dryer and flat iron. Explore affordable kits at Pure Keratin's Store.

Pre-Treatment Hair Care Routine

Clean your hair with clarifying shampoo to remove buildup. Avoid conditioner to help the keratin bond effectively.

Setting Up Your Workspace

Pick a ventilated space, lay down towels to prevent mess, and organize your tools for an efficient process.

Step 1: Applying the Keratin Solution

Divide your hair into sections and apply the solution evenly. Comb through each section to ensure even distribution.

Step 2: Letting the Product Work

Allow the product to sit for 20–30 minutes as per the instructions. Avoid over-applying to prevent a greasy texture.

Step 3: Blow-Drying Your Hair

Dry your hair completely using medium heat. Brush while blow-drying to smooth out your strands.

Step 4: Sealing with a Flat Iron

Use a flat iron heated to 400–450°F. Pass it over small sections 7–10 times to lock in the keratin.

Post-Treatment Hair Care

Avoid washing or tying your hair for 48–72 hours after treatment. Let the keratin fully bond to your hair.

Maintaining Your Keratin-Treated Hair

Use sulfate-free products to prolong the results. Find a range of compatible shampoos at Pure Keratin.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Address uneven texture by reapplying to missed sections. Over-applied? Wash gently to remove excess product.

DIY Keratin Treatment vs Salon Treatment

DIY treatments cost less but require precision. Salon services are pricier but often yield more professional results.

Tips for Best Results

Protect your hair from chlorine and avoid harsh styling to keep it smooth and shiny longer.
