Achieving smooth, shiny, and frizz-free hair is a dream for many, and keratin treatments are a fantastic solution to make that dream a reality. Whether you're dealing with dull, dry, or unmanageable hair, understanding the steps to a perfect keratin treatment can help you get salon-quality results at home. In this guide, we'll walk you through each step of the process using GK Hair's The Best Keratin Professional Hair Kit, ensuring you achieve the best keratin treatment in the comfort of your own home.
Step 1: Hair Cleansing
The first step to a perfect keratin treatment is thoroughly cleansing your hair. Start with GK Hair's pH+ Shampoo from The Best Keratin Professional Hair Kit. This shampoo is designed to remove any impurities and buildup from your hair, ensuring it's perfectly clean. It's important to skip the conditioner in this wash to allow the shampoo to shift your hair's pH from acidic to alkaline. This change helps the hair cuticles swell, promoting better absorption of the keratin treatment.
Step 2: Application of Keratin Mask
After your hair is thoroughly cleansed and completely dry, it's time to apply the keratin mask. Using The Best Keratin Treatment from GK Hair, divide your hair into small sections to ensure even application. Apply the keratin treatment evenly from roots to ends, making sure each strand is coated. This meticulous application is crucial for achieving smooth, frizz-free hair. Allow the product to penetrate deeply, setting the foundation for long-lasting results.
Step 3: Let Your Hair Set In
After applying the keratin mask, it's crucial to let your hair set in. Allow the treatment to sit for 20 to 30 minutes, giving the keratin time to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft. This period allows the hair to undergo an oxidation process, which is essential for locking in the treatment. Once the time is up, rinse your hair thoroughly with cold water and gently squeeze out any excess water with a towel.

Step 4: Blow Dry and Flat Iron
After rinsing out the keratin treatment, the next step is to blow-dry your hair. Use a high-quality blow dryer to ensure your hair is completely dry. Once dry, divide your hair into small sections and use a flat iron to seal in the treatment. Set the flat iron to a high temperature (usually around 450°F or 230°C) and run it over each section multiple times. This heat helps the keratin to bond more effectively, leaving your hair smooth and shiny.
Step 5: Post Treatment Care
Post-treatment care is essential to maintain the results of your keratin treatment. Avoid washing your hair or tying it up for the first 48-72 hours. When it's time for your first wash, use sulfate and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners, like GK Hair's Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. These products help extend the longevity of the treatment. Additionally, avoid using hair oils and hard water, as they can break down the keratin layer and diminish the treatment's effects.
