Considered the home of the top keratin hair straightening NYC has to offer, the team at Salon De Louie can often customize this treatment – tweaking it to fit your specific hair care needs.

Depending on your specific needs, each version of the Brazilian keratin treatment use chemicals like formaldehyde when heated, while others are formaldehyde free. Regardless what your preference or that of your hairstylist, the Brazilian keratin treatment works by penetrating deep into the hair follicle and releasing an essential hair protein known as keratin into the porous areas of your hair. This compound will strengthen and improve the overall appearance as well as the health of your hair.

How Does the Keratin Hair Treatment Work?

Depending upon a few different factors, the procedure can vary in the amount of time it takes. Some of these factors include – the specific formula the stylist uses, the texture of your hair, and the amount of hair you have overall. according to the experts at Salon De Louie, home to the top keratin hair straightening NYC has to offer, this process can take anywhere from 2-4 hours – so definitely bring a book and be patient. To start, your hair will be washed, then, depending on the preference of your stylist, they will either apply the keratin treatment to your wet hair and let the formula saturate each strand for about half an hour, or the they will blow-dry your hair first and then apply the treatment. Once that’s done, your stylist will usually go over any coarse strands with a flat iron, on low to medium heat, depending where the treatment needs to be sealed in. The process is now complete!

Similar to Chemical Relaxers?

While many clients often confused the Brazilian Keratin treatment for other chemical relaxers, the fact is that they are very different. To begin, the keratin hair treatment is temporary, and will wash out after a few months, whereas the chemical relaxers are permanent. In addition, many clients dislike chemical relaxers, as they use a main ingredient of sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or guanidine hydroxide – in order to break and restructure the bonds in curly hair so that the hair becomes straight – however, it will also become much weaker. However, when it comes to the keratin treatment, rather than altering the chemical composition of your hair, keratin treatments actually inject the porous parts of your hair with protein, so that it feels smoother.

Is it Safe to Do?

The fact is that there are many old wives’ tales told about keratin hair straightening, and most of them aren’t true. Some older version will release a chemical called formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen – however, there are a number of newer, formaldehyde free versions – which are much safer. While formaldehyde versions aren’t overly dangerous, and they may even be longer-lasting and more effective, many clients prefer to seek out formaldehyde free versions.
