Tips from Ambika Makeup Studio

Keratin treatments are a popular choice for achieving smooth, frizz-free hair with a glossy finish. However, maintaining the results of a keratin treatment requires proper aftercare. At Ambika Makeup Studio, we provide expert advice and solutions to help you keep your keratin-treated hair looking its best. Here are our top tips for caring for your hair post-treatment:

1. Wait Before Washing

After receiving a keratin treatment, it’s crucial to wait at least 72 hours before washing your hair. This allows the keratin to fully penetrate the hair shaft, ensuring long-lasting results. During this period, avoid any moisture, including sweating from exercise or exposure to rain.

2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoos and Conditioners

To preserve the integrity of your keratin treatment, switch to sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Sulfates can strip the hair of its natural oils and the keratin coating, leading to dryness and reduced effectiveness of the treatment. Opt for gentle, nourishing products that are specifically formulated for keratin-treated hair.

3. Limit Heat Styling

While keratin treatments help reduce the need for heat styling, it’s still important to use heat tools sparingly. Excessive heat can damage your hair and diminish the benefits of the treatment. If you do use heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from high temperatures.

4. Avoid Saltwater and Chlorine

Saltwater and chlorine can be harsh on keratin-treated hair, leading to dryness and frizz. If you plan to swim in the ocean or a pool, protect your hair by wearing a swim cap or applying a leave-in conditioner beforehand. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water to remove any residue.

5. Brush Gently

Keratin-treated hair is more manageable and less prone to tangling, but it’s still important to brush gently to avoid breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.

6. Keep Your Hair Hydrated

Keratin-treated hair can still benefit from regular hydration. Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week to keep your hair moisturized and soft. Look for products that are rich in keratin, argan oil, or other nourishing ingredients.

7. Regular Touch-Ups

To maintain the smooth and frizz-free results of your keratin treatment, consider scheduling regular touch-ups every 3-4 months. This helps to refresh the treatment and keep your hair looking sleek and healthy.
