What is Keratin Hair Straightening and how does it wok?
It's getting popular for Keratin hair straighteners in Singapore. I searched online and found an article about Keratin. It is a protein found naturally in our hair. It can fill in gaps in the hair cuticle that are cracked, dry, or damaged. It is mixed with varying levels of formaldehyde, and applied to the hair, and then sealed in with the heat of a flat iron. The formaldehyde helps hold the keratin molecules together, which straightens your hair and keeps it that way.
Say NO to Frizzy Hair. Look at the wow result!
How does it work?
Hair's natural levels of protein decrease with age, causing a frizzy, dull texture. The treatment redeposits keratin, a type of protein, which fills in the ridges of curls to unwind them, offering the look of a fresh salon blowout every day. Conditioners like coconut oil add softness and shine.
How long it takes?
The treatment takes about two hours. A specially trained stylist applies the formula, then seals it into the cuticle with heat, using a blow-dryer and a flatiron.
But what if I don't want stick-straight strands?
It's up to you how sleek you get. Depending on your hair texture and goals, your stylist will instruct you to wash out the treatment after 24, 48, or 72 hours for the fullest effect. The longer you leave it on, the silkier and smoother your hair will be.
Will it damage my hair?
Traditional chemical straighteners often contain lye, which breaks the natural curl bonds. That can mean dry strands and fuzzy roots when new hair grows in. This doesn't alter those bonds and gradually washes out, fading after three to four months.
Can I shampoo as usual?
To max out the life of the keratin treatment, use a sodium chloride-free shampoo (check the ingredients list).
How much does it cost -- and where can I get it?
The treatment starts at about $250-300 (UP $500), depending on your location. I had mine done @ SilkCut Salon , hair cut + hair treatment + shampoo + conditioner > $368
Now, my hair is shinier and longer than it looks.
