First, what is a Keratin Treatment?

Keratin treatment results can last anywhere from 4 weeks to 5 months.

The Keratin ProcessThe length of time it takes to do a keratin treatment depends on the formula your Alpharetta hairstylist is using, how much hair you have and its texture. Most treatments take two to four hours. Your hairstylist will first wash your hair. Then, the hairstylist will either apply the keratin treatment to your wet hair or will blow-dry your hair first and then apply the treatment. It all depends on your hairstylist and your hair needs.

Are Keratin Treatments Safe?
Some versions of the treatment release formaldehyde when heated, but many newer versions are formaldehyde-free.

Your hair will appear healthier because it is healthier after a treatment.
Can I get a Keratin Treatment if I Colored my Hair?
