Keratin Treatment: A Game-Changer For My Hair!

Hello lovely readers! Today, I’m going to whisk you away on a journey through my recent foray into the world of Keratin treatments. For as long as I can recall, my hair’s been this wild cascade of curls. Sometimes, I’ve been its fiercest critic, and at others, its proudest champion, letting those curls bounce around, only occasionally taming them with a straightener.

A few weeks ago, inspired by a need for change, I opted for a stylish short haircut. Gone were the days of battling my long, curly locks. However, as I glimpsed myself with sleek, straight hair post-cut, it dawned on me: this was a look I could adore! The chat with my stylist pivoted to Keratin treatments and, after a week of contemplation, I took the plunge.

Navigating the maze of treatments available, I sought out the crème de la crème of salons in my town. Armed with research, I tackled concerns about formaldehyde and potential harm. Knowledge, after all, is empowering.

At its heart, a Keratin treatment is a saviour for those of us plagued by frizz and rebellious curls. It won’t magically convert curls to straight locks, but it will bless you with silky, smooth, and more manageable hair. Want poker-straight tresses? You might still have to reach for that flat iron.

The process itself is straightforward. Post a thorough wash, a rich Keratin cream kisses your hair. After a blow dry, each strand experiences the gentle glide of a straightener multiple times. The key is patience: for 72 hours, your hair should remain untouched by moisture and hair accessories. When the great ‘first wash’ finally happens, the metamorphosis is complete.

On The Investment:

Shelling out ₹22,000 (approximating $300) might feel like a big leap, but remember, when it comes to your tresses, quality is paramount. Opt for a reputable salon, even if it requires a bit of budgeting and patience. Your hair is worth that premium touch!

Addressing Keratin Myths:

• My Hair’s Untouched: On the contrary! Post-treatment, my hair feels like silk, the curls are softer, and frizz? It’s history.
• The Formaldehyde Fear: Let’s face it, we encounter harmful elements daily. A transparent chat with your stylist about the ingredients can lay many fears to rest.
• Hair Fall Horrors: Hair fall can be a result of myriad reasons. Always gauge based on your overall haircare routine. For me? No alarming hair fall. In fact, with the short hairstyle, I’ve seen reduced hair fall.
• Unnatural Appearance: This isn’t a straightening ritual. It enhances your hair’s natural beauty. As it grows, it just mingles seamlessly with my newly-acquired waves.

The newfound freedom? It’s marvellous! While I occasionally yearn for my curls, the reduced styling time is a dream. If, like me, you’re in a season of hair exploration, give Keratin a whirl. Trust me, you’ll be smitten!
