Keratin Hair Care

For the first few days after your keratin treatment, avoid clipping your hair or pulling it back and tying it as this may cause it to kink. Instead, you will need to keep your hair down for a day or two.

Once your hair is dry, flat iron your blow-dried hair so that it looks even smoother.
