Keratin is a popular hair treatment that can help reduce frizz and straighten hair. If you’re thinking about getting keratin applied to your hair, it’s important to know how to do it correctly. In this tutorial, we’ll show you step-by-step how to apply keratin to your hair for the best results.
Before applying keratin to your hair, make sure you have all the necessary materials. You’ll need a clarifying shampoo, liquid keratin, a hair straightener, a comb, a towel, gloves, and a hair mask. It’s also important that your hair is clean and dry before starting the process.
The clarifying shampoo is important because it helps to remove any residue that may interfere with the keratin. Wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo, rinse it well, and dry it with a towel.
Put on the gloves and apply the liquid keratin to your hair with a comb, making sure to cover all of your hair. It’s important not to apply too much keratin to your hair, as this can make your hair look greasy. Once you’ve applied the keratin, let it absorb into your hair for a few minutes.
Use a towel to dry your hair and then begin straightening it in sections. The hair straightener should be at a temperature of around 230°C. Run the straightener over each section of hair several times to ensure that the keratin is fully absorbed into the hair.
After you have finished straightening all of your hair, apply a hair mask and leave it on for a few minutes. Then rinse your hair with cold water to seal the keratin into the hair.
Remember that it is important to avoid getting your hair wet for at least 72 hours after the keratin application to ensure that the keratin is properly absorbed into the hair.
