There are days when your hair looks sleek, perfect, and top-notch, and then there are days when your hair looks like it’s just had a frizz attack. On days when your hair is high-maintenance, managing your tresses feels like an extremely tiring job. No matter what you do, these strands just don’t get tamed. To deal with this, several people go with hair taming treatments and other methods that make your hair more manageable, and reduce the hassle of styling everyday. These treatments treat your hair with the use of Keratin, a kind of protein that repairs your hair shaft and maintains its health.
What is Keratin?
Keratin is a kind of protein that makes up several parts of our body, including our skin, hair and nails, and can also be found in some of our internal organs. 95% of our hair is made up of keratin, and treating it with external keratin repairs our tresses and takes care of hair cuticles. Obtained from the wool and feathers of different animals, keratin is used in different hair treatments and products to make our hair look healthier, more nourished.
Hair Taming Treatments:
Hair Taming Treatments are a good option to go with if you’re tired of managing your dry, curly, or frizzy hair on a daily basis. The standard process of this treatment includes applying the treatment on clean, washed hair, blowing it dry, and then sealing it into the hair with a flat iron. Most of the professionals recommend waiting for at least 24 hours before washing your hair after getting the treatment, so that the product settles in and works well. This treatment reduces frizz, and straightens your hair for upto 4-6 months, depending on aftercare and your hair health.
IMPROVES HAIR HEALTH:
Our hair is made up of different kinds of bonds that maintain the texture, health, and shine of it. When these bonds break, our hair gets brittle, dry, and vulnerable. Keratin Treatments temporarily repairs hair bonds, and improves its overall look by reducing breakage and split-ends. These treatments also repair your hair cuticle, the outer layer of your hair, and give your hair a healthier, more managed look.
CUTS-OUT STYLING TIME:
Hair Taming Treatment reduces frizz and flyaways, and improves the texture of your hair. It straightens your hair for up to several months, which makes it easier to style your hair and cut out the trouble of prepping your hair everyday.
STRAIGHTENS YOUR HAIR:
Curly hair, glamorous as it is, is very difficult to manage compared to straight hair. Maintaining curly hair needs a lot of time and care, and people with already hectic routines prefer to have hair that requires zero to low maintenance. Keratin treatment, in this regard, is considered an optimal solution, as it smooths and straightens your hair for an extended period of time, keeping it more manageable.
REDUCED HEAT STYLING:
Since keratin treatments improve the texture of your hair, you don’t have the need to straighten your hair everyday. This prevents your hair from the damage that comes with heat-styling, and keeps your hair from drying out by retaining the moisture.
PROLONGED RESULTS:
The results of keratin treatments can last up to 6 months, if properly taken care of. Keratin treated hair needs products that are sulfate-free and has keratin as the key ingredient so that the results could last long. Using harsh-chemical free products improves the hair health overall, meanwhile prolonging the results of the treatment.
Vegan Hair Treatments:
Keratin Treatments are really helpful in managing dry, damaged hair for months, but what would a vegan do? No matter how beneficial a keratin treatment is, the fact remains that a vegan would not prefer a keratin treatment. Therefore, to cater to the needs of our vegan fellows, GK Hair has introduced Vegan Hair Treatments in the UAE, The Best Coco and The Best Acai.
