Keratin Smoothing Hair Treatment in Oswego
We ask a lot of our hair, and our expectations are high. We all want the healthy, silky locks featured in beauty magazines, on Pinterest and in the movies. In order to achieve these beauty goals for our tresses, our hair is subjected to regular color treatments, high heat straighteners, blow-dryers as well as new and varying products. Before too long, some of these strategies just won’t achieve the desired effect any longer and our hair may begin to look dry, frizzy and seemingly untamable. Repeated coloring, perming and heat application can cause excessive keratin breakdown leading to brittle and broken hair. If you have frizzy, dry unhealthy locks, if your hair seems to have a ‘mind of its own’ (and sleek and shiny isn’t what it’s thinking about) a keratin hair treatment in Oswego may be just the thing for you.
At Cutting Crew Hair Salon, we offer keratin treatments for those who want semi-permanent straightening for more manageable hair. It may be time for you to drop by our hair salon to see what we can do for you. Here at Cutting Crew Hair Salon we offer a variety of hair smoothing treatments, including full keratin and keratin express.
What is a Keratin Hair Treatment?
Keratin is a natural, fibrous protein found in hair. It is also an important building block in skin and fingernails. This key protein provides strength and structure to each strand of hair. Over time, this protein may break down. This is especially true when the hair is overtreated and damaged by heat and chemicals. A keratin hair treatment is an advanced salon service that adds keratin to the hair cuticle and seals it in. This process helps to achieve smoother, more manageable hair with results that can last for months.
Because keratin treatments do make use of strong chemicals, we recommend working with a professional stylist to achieve the best and safest results for your hair. We at Cutting Crew Hair Salon use only the best products for our clients. We are a Paul Mitchell Focus salon, meaning we use these professional products for most of our treatments and services. Furthermore, our stylists are trained professionals, experts in style and up-to-date on the latest trends.
How Does a Keratin Treatment Work?
A keratin treatment is the application of a chemical combination, including keratin, that coats the pores and seals the cuticle of each strand of hair. The treatment is applied to wet hair and is left to process for about an hour and a half. Next the heat from a flatiron or blow-drier will be used to seal the treatment. The result is smoother, healthier appearing hair.
Aftercare and Maintenance for Keratin Treated Hair:
After a keratin hair treatment it is important to understand how to care for your hair to maintain your results. Do not wash your hair for 72 hours post treatment. A ponytail or bun is also a big ‘no’ before your first hair wash. The treatment is still processing in your hair for the first 72 hours. A hair tie may lock a crease into the hair. Once you have washed your hair you may return to your usual hair routines and styles. Although, now may also be a good time to pick up a few new habits and additions to your hair routine to baby your hair.
The following are a few things to consider adding to your hair care routine.
- Silk scrunchies
- Delayed washing
- Sulfate-free products
- Hair masks
- Regular trims
The professionals at Cutting Crew Hair Salon are prepared to guide you through the keratin hair treatment process and care post treatment. Be sure to ask our stylists what recommendations they have for your hair type and they will be able to provide you with suggestions for a hair care routine just for you.
Let’s say it again: We ask a lot of our hair. If your hair is beginning to show signs of damage, it’s time to give your hair a keratin boost. The stylists at Cutting Crew Hair Salon are able to provide the professional results you desire at an affordable price.
