Keratin Straightening Rebonding System
While curls and beachy waves are a classic and beautiful hairstyle, having straight, glossy tresses can create a dramatic change to transform your look. However, using heat tools to straighten hair daily can be time-consuming and potentially damage your hair.
A keratin straightening rebonding system is a great way to create long-lasting straight hair with the benefit of deep conditioning to nourish your hair and create a frizz-free look without the need for heat. Learn the benefits of a keratin straightening system and how to help it last for months.
What Does a Keratin Straightening Rebonding System Do?
Designed for those with curly or wavy hair, a keratin straightening system is a long-lasting treatment that leaves your hair sleek, frizz-free and shiny for four to six months.
It works by penetrating the porous layers of the hair strands to safely reshape the overlapping hair cells on each strand. This creates less frizz and more manageable glossy hair. A keratin treatment can also temporarily reduce the look of split ends by rebonding the broken ends together.
Depending on your specific hair goals, a stylist will create a customised blend of deeply conditioning formulas and moisture-rich ingredients to create your desired look.
The Benefits of Keratin Straightening Rebonding Technology
Repeatedly straightening your hair with a flat iron can damage and dry out your strands, leaving your hair dull and frizzy. A salon keratin treatment is an effective, semi-permanent way to tame wavy or curly hair for a sleek, straight look.
Some of the additional benefits you can expect from a keratin straightening and rebonding treatment include the following:
- It helps with hair growth
- Long-lasting results
- More manageable hair
- Rebonding and optimal conditioning formulas ensure long-lasting smooth, shiny hair
- Straightens curly hair without the need for heat tools
- Keratin treatment ensures the bonds are closed and the hair cuticle is sealed to repair damaged hair from heat styling
How to Maintain a Keratin Straightening Rebonding Treatment
Although keratin straightening rebonding technology reshapes your strands, the effect isn’t permanent. Most keratin straightening treatments deliver results that last for approximately six months, but to prolong the life of your treatment; you need to follow a careful maintenance routine.
Hold Off On Washing After a Treatment
Waiting three to four days after a treatment to wash or wet your hair to ensure the bonds are fully set. However, wait times can vary depending on the brand of straightening product used. If you are unsure of the exact wait time, ask your stylist.
Invest in Proper Shampoo and Conditioner
Sulphates and sodium chloride strip your hair of the active ingredients in the keratin treatment. Invest in sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, and only wash your hair once or twice per week to keep your look silky smooth.
Use a dry shampoo to soak up excess oil if your hair gets greasy between washes.
Don’t Wear Updos
Your new straight ‘do is the most vulnerable for the three days following a keratin treatment. While the keratin complex ensures safe rebonding, your strands are still fragile and easy to reshape. Avoid wearing your hair in updo styles like ponytails or top knots, and don’t tuck your hair behind your ears. This can prevent indentations from disrupting your sleek new look.
What to Know Before Getting a Keratin Treatment
The straightening rebonding technology provides optimal deep conditioning and long-lasting straightening results, but there are a few things to consider before getting treatment.
Not Recommended for Those Who Are Pregnant
Many hair treatments, like dyeing or highlighting, are not recommended for pregnant women. The same goes for a keratin treatment. Although keratin is safe, the effect of the active treatment ingredients has not been studied on pregnant women and fetuses.
Several Chemicals Are Used in the Treatment
Chemicals such as formaldehyde are used in some keratin treatment brands to help preserve the keratin derived from the nails, skin, and hair of animals. Formaldehyde and the other compounds found in keratin treatments could lead to side effects if not administered in a well-ventilated area.
