Brazilian keratin treatments have gained popularity for transforming frizzy, unmanageable hair into smooth, sleek locks. However, several myths and misconceptions often deter people from trying these treatments. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths about Brazilian keratin treatments and clarify how they can safely benefit your hair.
Myth 1: Keratin Treatments Damage Your Hair
Fact: Many believe keratin treatments are harsh and damaging, but this isn’t the case with reputable brands like Marcia Teixeira. These treatments, including the new Muse, are formaldehyde-free and work by filling gaps in the hair cuticle with keratin, strengthening and protecting the hair rather than damaging it.
Myth 2: Keratin Treatments Are Only for Straight Hair
Fact: Keratin treatments are not just for achieving pin-straight hair. Marcia Teixeira’s treatments are designed to reduce frizz and smooth hair texture, making it more manageable regardless of your natural hair type—whether curly, wavy, or straight.
Myth 3: Keratin Treatments Require High Maintenance
Fact: While there are some simple guidelines, like using sulfate-free shampoos and avoiding hair washing for 72 hours post-treatment, keratin-treated hair actually requires less daily styling effort. The reduced drying time and increased manageability often outweigh the minimal upkeep needed.
Myth 4: Keratin Treatments Are Only for Long Hair
Fact: Keratin treatments work effectively on all hair lengths, including short hair. They smooth and enhance hair’s appearance, making them suitable for anyone dealing with frizz or unruly hair.
Caring for Keratin-Treated Hair
To get the most from your keratin treatment, follow these simple tips:
- Use Sulfate-Free Products: These help preserve the keratin in your hair.
- Minimize Heat Styling: Although keratin strengthens hair, excessive heat can still cause damage, so use heat protectants.
- Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water: Both can degrade the keratin, so protect your hair when swimming.
