Keratin Smoothing Treatment & Our Products
by Whittney Christner on May 13, 2010

WELCOME BACK!!!

This week I would like to discuss the benefits of the Keratin Smoothing Treatment, and some of our products that can not only be incorporated into your daily regimen, but are safe to use with the treatment.

First Things First: Q’s & A’s

Are you familiar with the Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
Have you considered getting a Keratin Smoothing Treatment for yourself or a loved one?
Are you one of the millions who have experienced a Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
Regardless which question best suits you, the following answers are sure to help.
(note: In salon I use the Coppola Keratin Smoothing Complex…know that treatment facts/results vary with different brands)

Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment: The original in-salon service that infuses natural keratin deep into the cuticle of the hair. This revolutionary treatment eliminates up to 95% of frizz, and curl. While instantly adding shine, it conditions your hair leaving it silky to the touch. Results last anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on the condition of the hair.

While leaving your hair smoother and straighter, this treatment builds a natural barrier of keratin around the hair that prevents harm from environmental toxins; and it cuts your blow-dry time in half. Did I mention that humidity will no longer determine what kind of hair day you will have?!
(This treatment is safe and gentle enough to use on chemically processed, color treated, or bleached & highlighted hair)

If you are considering investing in a Keratin Smoothing Treatment and would like further information; the following are steps you should take to get the most out of your experience.

Ask your stylist what Keratin Smoothing Treatment they use. Are they certified?
Also ask for a list of any pre/post treatment requirements(e.g. when can you wash your hair, can you use accessories: hair bands,clips,elastics)
Set up a twenty to thirty minute client/stylist consultation to determine the condition of your hair, process time, and cost.
Check your calendar…remember to take into consideration all facts, and set a logical date so that you can have a great and relaxing experience

Those of you who have already experienced the Keratin Smoothing Treatment, you know it is GREAT!!!
You also know, that with this treatment you are limited to the types of products you can use. Salons that carry this type of treatment usually carry products designed for the treatment. However, it can be quite the hassle to go to the salon every time you need to restock. Plus, with the keratin treatment in high demand, salons sometimes sell out of treatment related products before they get their next shipment. With brand selection limited in salon, it can be more beneficial to shop online for a wide variety.

With that said, I would like to share with you our treatment friendly products from SiestaStyles for purchase at the click of a button….

Kerastase: Specifique Bain Clarifiant Long Lasting Shampoo
Moroccan Oil Treatment
Alfa Parf by Milano: Midollo De Bamboo Recharge Mask
Kenra: Moisturizing Deep Penetrating Conditioner
Joico: Silk Result Straight Smooth Blow-dry Creme
Joico: Silk Result Instant Smooth Flat Iron Protector
Pureology: Incharge Plus Flex/Firm Hold Hair Spray
The benefits you receive from any of these products are amazing. For instance, Moroccan Oil plays a big role in keeping your new do properly moisturized…It is a natural product that has no damaging ingredients. Every Keratin Treatment client of mine doesn’t walk out the door with out a bottle of Moroccan Oil. Kerastase is the only product brand other than treatment brands, that have shampoos that are okay to use. Keratin Smoothing Treatments have key ingredients that make them prone to weakening if you don’t use the proper shampoo. Whether these products be all natural or infused with keratin itself, as a professional hair stylist, it is safe for me to say the products listed work hand in hand wonderfully with the Keratin Smoothing Treatment.
