It nourishes with keratin protein, making hair healthier, shinier, and adds a protective layer that seals cuticles and guards against damage.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159552867\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does a keratin treatment take at the salon?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A keratin treatment can take upward of 2 hours to complete. This process involves applying keratin and sealing it into your hair using heat. Some salons wash out the product before heat, while others do it with the treatment still in.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159552868\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you care for your hair after a keratin treatment?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You should avoid getting your hair wet for at least 48 hours so your hair can settle. Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, and avoid swimming pools, saltwater, and bleaching. With proper aftercare, results can last up to 4 months.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159552869\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will a keratin treatment work on curly or wavy hair?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Keratin treatments work on all hair types but are especially beneficial for frizzy or damaged hair. Wavy hair will become naturally straighter, while curls will be more defined. All hair types experience smoother, shinier results.<\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766159552870\">\n<h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can keratin treatments affect coloured hair?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Keratin treatments can fade semi-permanent colours, such as pink tones. If you have semi-permanent or fantasy colours, expect some loss of vibrancy after the treatment.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently calculated that I\u2019ve spent around 26 days (!) of my life straightening my hair which, let me tell you, is not time well-spent.
