Keratin Treatment FAQ
q Is it normal to feel scalp tingling during keratin treatment?
a Mild tingling can occur, but sharp pain, intense burning, or swelling during the process is not a normal response and should be reported to your stylist immediately.
q How long should I wait before washing my hair after keratin?
a Most professionals recommend waiting at least 72 hours before getting your hair wet to allow the treatment to bond properly with the hair shaft.
q Can I use any shampoo after a keratin treatment?
a You should use sulphate-free and chloride-free shampoos because harsher formulas can strip the keratin layer and shorten the life of the treatment.
q Why does my hair look oily after a keratin treatment?
a Heavy product application or high porosity hair can sometimes lead to a greasy look that often settles after the first few washes and proper styling.
q Is keratin treatment safe for coloured hair?
a It can be safe if planned correctly, but the combination may alter colour or increase dryness, so a professional consultation beforehand is strongly advised.
q My frizz returned in a month. Is the treatment ineffective?
a Often the issue is related to maintenance habits, product choice, or the initial condition of the hair, rather than a failure of the service itself.
q When should I avoid getting a keratin treatment?
a You should avoid it if you have untreated scalp wounds, a recent history of severe allergic reactions, or if you are pregnant and have not consulted your doctor.
q Can I do another keratin treatment if the first one did not work?
a Not always; repeating the treatment on compromised hair can increase damage, so it is wise to reassess your hair health and aftercare routine first.
