Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Keratin Conditioning (Long Hair).

Most clients enjoy smoother hair for three to six months. Longevity depends on hair porosity, maintenance, and chosen products. Using sulfate-free shampoos and limiting heat styling prolongs results; periodic touch-ups at the salon refresh the treatment.

Yes. Keratin Conditioning is generally safe for color-treated long hair. It often enhances color shine and reduces fading, but timing matters. Bring your color history to the appointment so we can recommend whether to color before or after treatment.

Avoid heavy oils, styling products, or deep conditioners for 48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with dry, unstyled hair when possible; we provide a professional cleanse and consultation to tailor the treatment to your long hair's condition.

Keratin Conditioning smooths and relaxes curl pattern but is not a permanent straightener. Curly hair will become more manageable with reduced volume and frizz; the straightening effect depends on your natural texture and the specific keratin formula used.

Most formulas require 48 to 72 hours before washing, tying, or getting hair wet to fully set the keratin. Follow your stylist's timing instructions exactly and use recommended sulfate-free products afterward to extend the treatment's lifespan.

Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, avoid clarifying products, and limit excessive heat styling. Rinse after swimming and protect hair from chlorine and saltwater. Schedule touch-ups every three to six months and maintain regular trims to keep long ends healthy.
