About the Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Keratin is a type of protein containing high levels of the amino acid Cystine. This special amino acid is responsible for making hair super tough and extremely elastic. Keratin is a classic example of a sulphur containing, cross linking biopolymer. It is the main structure building protein in our hair and nails.

The small size of the Keratin biopolymer molecules is what enable them to penetrate inside the hair cuticle and into the inner hair shaft, helping to improve the quality of the hair from the inside. The Keratin fills in the gaps between the cuticle and the inner hair shaft and becomes sealed into the hair’s inner structure by a high heat flat iron. The Keratin biopolymer works with other ingredients in the product to help eliminate frizz and add strength and elasticity.

The Do’s and Don'ts during the four days after your treatment include:

• DO wear hair down all the time.
• DO use a blow dryer if the hair becomes wet during the initial four day development period following the Brazilian Keratin Treatment
• DO us a flat iron to re-straighten areas where needed.
• DO use a silk scarf to preserve the straightness of the hair during the four day development period.



• DON’T wash the hair for four days so that the treatment can develop fully.
• DON’T tie the hair into a pony tail or braid. Either can create unwanted dents, waves, or curls.
• DON’T use hair clips, hair bands or bobby pins, since these can affect the straightness of the hair.
• DON’T Sweat excessively. Avoid working out and/or swimming during the four day development period.
• DON’T put your hair behind your ears or use glasses to hold it back.
