About the service
What is Brazilian Keratin?

How long does Brazilian Keratin last?+
Most clients enjoy results for up to three months, depending on their hair type, home care routine, and how often they wash their hair. Some clients choose to refresh their treatment every few months, while others enjoy the results for much longer—even up to a year. Every head of hair is different.
When can I wash my hair after Brazilian Keratin?+
We recommend waiting at least three days before washing your hair. This allows the treatment to fully set and helps maximize both the longevity and smoothness of your results.
Should I color my hair before or after Brazilian Keratin?+
We recommend doing your Brazilian Keratin treatment first and waiting at least three days before coloring your hair. Keratin treatments can slightly affect freshly applied hair color, so completing the keratin first helps preserve the desired color result.
Will Brazilian Keratin permanently straighten my curls?+
Brazilian Keratin is intended to reduce frizz and soften texture, not permanently restructure the hair. The degree of smoothing varies by hair and application.
Does Brazilian Keratin eliminate frizz?+
It can significantly reduce frizz and daily styling effort, but results vary with texture, humidity, aftercare, and the condition of the hair.
What home care should I use after Brazilian Keratin?+
Use the Brazilian Keratin-safe home care recommended by your stylist. The wrong cleanser can shorten the life of the smoother, shinier result. We also recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo, as it helps extend the life of your Brazilian Keratin treatment and keeps your hair smoother for longer.
