The Remedy for Frizz-free, Silky Hair: Keratin Treatment

In the pursuit of silky, smooth hair, keratin treatments have become a popular solution for those dealing with frizz and unruly locks. Studio 571 Hair Artisans leads the pack, offering a variety of keratin treatments tailored to meet different needs and preferences.

What is a Keratin Treatment?

A keratin treatment is a chemical process designed to smooth and shine frizzy hair. Unlike permanent straightening chemical relaxers, keratin treatments are temporary and typically last anywhere from weeks to several months. These treatments work by permeating the hair with keratin, a vital protein that strengthens and revitalizes hair strands. By smoothing down the hair cuticle and sealing it, keratin treatments effectively combat frizz and breakage, resulting in healthier-looking locks.

The Process

During a keratin treatment session, which typically lasts between two to four hours, your stylist will apply the treatment to either wet or dry hair, depending on the chosen formula and the client's specific hair needs. The treatment is heat-activated, and a flat iron is often used to seal in the product, ensuring long-lasting results.

How Does it Differ from Chemical Relaxers?

Unlike chemical relaxers, which permanently alter the hair's chemical composition to achieve straightness, keratin treatments work by infusing the hair with protein, leaving it smoother and more manageable. Chemical relaxers weaken the hair over time, while keratin treatments enhance its health and vitality.

What You Need to Know

One of the primary concerns surrounding keratin treatments is the presence of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. While many newer treatments are formaldehyde-free, it's essential to inquire about the ingredients and potential risks before treatment. Formaldehyde-free alternatives last just as long and provides a safer option for those seeking frizz control without compromising their health.

At Studio 571, all of our keratin treatments are enriched in amino acids, natural proteins, oils and minerals. No formaldehydes or derivatives are in our keratins. Natural keratins tend to leave the hair a lot silkier as well as reducing styling time since the cuticles are shut and don't hold on to water as easily.

After your keratin treatment opt for brand name sodium chloride shampoos, this will ensure your treatment is maintained and lasts the full 4-6 months. We recommend avoiding chlorinated pools and the salty ocean water as that can affect longevity as well. When choosing keratin treatment you are making an investment on your hair! Remember to treat it as such post-treatment.

Who Should Consider a Keratin Treatment?

Keratin treatments are suitable for most hair types, including dyed hair, as they pose minimal risk of damage. Those wishing for smoother, straighter hair may get these results from keratin treatment. However, pregnant women and individuals with severely damaged or brittle hair should consult with their hairstylist before proceeding with the treatment.

At Studio 571, we offer premium Keratin treatments like the MK Hair Rejuvenating, Magic Sleek, and Malina Mineral-Based, offering lasting effects of 4 to 6 months, transforming your hair with salon-quality care.  

But here's the cherry on top: we bring the salon experience right to your doorstep with our take-home options, featuring the ever-popular MK Hair Botox. So why wait? Treat yourself to the pampering and rejuvenation you deserve, all from the comfort of your own space.
