Now that you have got your much-awaited Keratin Hair Treatment that makes your hair stunning just as you have always dreamt of is that all?
It may not be the first time for many of you to get the Keratin treatment or Keratin Smoothening treatment.
Now the question is, even after doing everything right yet the result didn't last long. So what went wrong?
You got the treatment done, spent some good amount of money, purchased the Keratin Shampoo, yet the result didn't last long enough as it should, despite all the efforts.
But did you do everything right?
Too many questions, all the same, but nowhere near to the answer, in fact nowhere near to the solution.
We came across many women experiencing this problem, and we found that all were making the same common mistake(s) that ended up resulting in this setback.
Relax now, we got the answer. And that’s what we are going to share here.
With every hair treatment comes along some mandatory Do’s & Don'ts. It’s imperative that you follow these guidelines without any skip in order to keep that stunning, straighter hair for long.
In order to maintain so and even to enhance the lustre of smoothening effect, you need to follow these golden rules,
1. Use Salt Free & Sulphate-Free Shampoo post treatment.
This is the most important step of all. You need to choose your post treatment haircare products wisely.
Why Salt free & Sulphate free shampoo?
Sulfates are surfactants that deplete natural oils from your hair and scalp. Also it destroys the acid mantle that keeps the scalp healthy and free from bacterial infection.
Salt, on the other hand, is gritty and abrasive. Sodium present in these salts, mainly Sodium Chloride salt, acts as a thickening agent in your shampoo or conditioner.
Using salt-based shampoos will dissolve and wash out the keratin coating at a much earlier stage.
Hence, it's wise to do your research and most importantly to understand the meaning and importance of salt-free / sulphate-free shampoo or conditioner.
Additionally, don't opt for any cheap options. Make sure you pick the right one, read the label properly.
Remember, quality comes with a price. So make sure you choose the right one, else you will end up spending much more on repeated treatments whereas you can avoid it by choosing the brand wisely.
This will help you maintain your hair better and let it remain smooth for a more extended period.
2. Don't wash your hair frequently.
It's advised to not wash your hair immediately after the treatment.
Also, the key to maintaining your keratin treatment for longer is to wash your hair less.
3. Wear your hair down.
No ponytails, fancy updos, buns or braids for the first few days. Your hair is sensitive during this time and any way you style your hair might leave kinks or curls in your strands.
4. Do not style hair too much.
High heat melts & strip off the keratin coating from your hair. So be careful when using your straightener, make sure you don't get it too hot.
Additionally, you should use a heat protection cream that shields your hair against heat damage.
5. Use Argan oil and other active ingredients infused products.
The active ingredients are the ultimate Nutrition Boosting elements that helps in improving overall hair health by increasing the hair strength and avoids it from becoming fragile and brittle while leaving it well-nourished and moisturised.
So there you have it.
5 easy tips, very basic yet often ignored tips that you should follow after the keratin treatment.
We hope now, you’re not going to end up with a keratin hair treatment disaster.
Just 'Go easy' on styling or styling products and focus on finding the right shampoo and conditioner.
