What to Expect From Your First Keratin Treatment

Comments · 12 Views

Last week I entered my first- ever keratin treatment, and my life was changed ever( or at least for the coming six months). I know it's hyperbolic, but when you have hair like mine — brittle, limp, insolvable to constrain — and all of unforeseen it dries smooth, silky, and candes

First, a quick background on the particular treatment that I got Goldwell Kerasilk is a customizable keratin treatment in Riyadh that's 100 percent formaldehyde-free and uses glyoxylic acid, keratin, and silk proteins to help manage colorful degrees of shape and ringlet. utmost keratin treatments bear that you stay three days before shampooing your hair and come with a laundry list of rules — no put away your hair behind your observance, no legs, no lacings, and especially no ponytails.

It takes a * long * time.As in three to four hours long( but worth every darn nanosecond spent in that salon president). The process goes commodity like this soap( no conditioner); rough-dry hair until its 80 percent dry; apply the treatment working in small sections; let process for 15 twinkles; blow-dry product into hair; flatiron hair in bitsy quarter- inch sections( this takes the longest!); wash hair for five to ten twinkles to insure product is fully out of hair; soap( again); apply keratin sealing serum; blow- sot. Phew!

There will be a weird smell.The treatment has a strange, musty smell( kind of like an old garret) that comes and goes in subtle airs throughout the process. It's not exorbitantly obnoxious, but it surely does not smell good, and you will clearly notice it. In utmost cases the stink will vanish fully by the final shindig, but for some people a veritably faint smell might remain until the coming washing. It's hardly a deal swell for the silky smoothness you get after the fact, but commodity I was happy to have been advised of.

You will start to flake.Midway through shindig number two( after the treatment was applied), I noticed white flakes falling from my head down onto my shoulders. And it continued through the flatiron process as well( it actually got worse). Dandruff is noway a good look, but O'Connor assured me that this a) was not dandruff and b) was fully normal. It was actually redundant product residue unloading off the hair, which tends to be at this stage of the treatment. I'm happy to report the flaking faded after the final wash.

You will be agonized After an excruciatingly long flat ironing process( three hours!), my hair looked as straight and smooth as could be. I was ready to unsnap my mask and walk out, but sorely it was back to the Gomorrah for ten twinkles of irrigating and another shampooing. I cringed as I watched O'Connor's hours of scrupulous straightening wash down the drain.

and also absolutely amazed.I am not relatively sure what I anticipated from the end result. I assumed my hair would be a bit straighter and less limp, but the final shindig completely blew my mind. Using her fritters, O'Connor tried to show me just how easy it would be to term my hairpost-treatment. It was not until I got home, still, and was suitable to give myself the same ten nanosecond salon- good shindig, that I realized what a game- changer this treatment really was.

Before the keratin treatment, washing my hair was a preplanned process, one I would record into my daily docket in order to sculpt out enough time to get all the drying and straightening done. And I was guaranteed a limp mess when I broke out the blow- teetotaler , anyhow of my magazine of ringlet- fighting products. But that is all changed. My blow- teetotaler is now my stylish friend — at least until these smooth, silky results wear off.
