FAQS

Can I tie my hair up after a keratin treatment?

It’s best to avoid tying your hair up immediately after a keratin treatment . The reason is that the keratin needs time to set, and any pressure or bending of the hair could create unwanted creases or marks. Generally, we recommend leaving your hair down for at least 48 to 72 hours. This will ensure the treatment sets properly, leading to smoother results. 

How long before I can wash my hair after a keratin treatment?

After a keratin treatment, it’s essential to wait before washing your hair. The recommended waiting time is 72 hours. This waiting period allows the keratin to fully bond with the hair, ensuring the treatment’s effectiveness and longevity. During this time, avoid getting your hair wet or exposing it to excessive moisture

Can I still colour my hair after a keratin treatment?

Yes, you can still colour your hair after a keratin treatment, but there are a few things to consider. It’s generally recommended to wait at least a week after a keratin treatment before applying hair colour. This waiting period helps ensure the keratin treatment has fully set and won’t interfere with the hair colour. If you’re planning to colour your hair before a keratin treatment, it’s best to do so at least a week in advance. 

How long will a keratin treatment last?

The longevity of a keratin treatment varies based on several factors, including hair type, aftercare, and lifestyle. Typically, a keratin treatment can last a few months. To maximise the treatment’s lifespan, use the Hydra Silk Range, avoid chlorine and saltwater, and minimize heat styling. Proper aftercare is key to maintaining the treatment’s results. 

How often can I get a keratin treatment?

Keratin treatments can be done every few months, but it’s important not to overdo it. The recommended frequency is every 3-6 months, depending on how quickly your hair grows and how well you maintain the treatment. Too frequent treatments can lead to product build-up and may affect hair health. Consult with a professional hairdresser to determine the optimal frequency for your hair type and goals
