Keratin Treatment services are a niche part of the hair industry. The financial benefits of this type of service can be very rewarding. However, Keratin Treatment services are incredibly technical and instructions must be followed explicitly. Maly’s@ManocoBlue proudly offers 3 Keratin Treatment service brands, Cezanne, Kerapod, and GK (Global Keratin). Each brand offers multiple options for straightening services. In addition, all 3 brands are formaldehyde-free, which is one of the most important factors considered when a client chooses a Keratin Treatment service.

For those considering getting into Keratin Treatment, we’ve answered some important questions regarding this advanced service:

Why Formaldehyde-Free Keratin Treatments Matter

All three brands offered by Maly’s@ManocoBlue are 100% formaldehyde-free—a critical consideration for client safety. Formaldehyde is a harmful chemical that causes adverse effects on personal health. Formaldehyde can cause:

Eye, nose, and throat irritation (even at low levels).
Long-term exposure risks include, coughing, choking, and respiratory issues.
Sever exposure can lead to chemical burns and significant respiratory damage

Choosing non-toxic keratin treatments ensures a safer salon environment for clients and stylists alike.

Keratin Treatment FAQ

What Is a Keratin Treatment?

A keratin treatment is a professional hair smoothing service that applies a keratin-rich solution to the hair, sealing it in with heat to reduce frizz, smooth texture, and enhance shine. It strengthens and aligns the hair shaft with added protein.

How Long Does a Keratin Treatment Last?

A keratin treatment typically lasts 3 to 6 months, this may vary based on hair type, product quality, and aftercare. Higher quality treatments and aftercare products may see longer-lasting results. Clients with fine or damaged hair may see results fade more quickly than clients with thicker, healthy hair.

Proper aftercare is essential to prolong results:

Use sulfate-free shampoos
Avoid frequent washing
Protect hair from chlorine and heat.

How Much Does a Keratin Treatment Cost?

Pricing factors for Keratin Treatments:

Hair length and density: Longer and thicker hair requires more product and time, leading to a higher cost.
Salon location: Salons in urban areas or high-end locations may charge more.
Salon reputation: Well-known or high-end salons often have higher prices.
Stylist experience: More experienced stylists may charge higher rates.
Product used: alons may use different brands or proprietary formulas, which may impact the cost.

On average expect a Keratin Treatment to cost between $200 to $600.

Can Keratin Treatments Damage Hair?

While keratin treatments can improve hair appearance, risks include:

Heat damage: Keratin treatments involve high heat to seal the keratin onto the hair, which can damage the hair's structure and lead to breakage.
Chemical irritation: Some keratin treatments contain chemicals, such as formaldehyde, which can be irritating to the scalp and damage the hair.
Altered hair structure: Keratin treatments alter the hair's natural protein balance, which can make the hair more brittle and prone to damage.
Overuse: Frequent keratin treatments can cumulatively damage the hair.

How to Minimize Damage

To minimize the potential damage of Keratin Treatment, consider the following information when deciding to receive this service:

Choose a reputable salon: Ensure the salon has experience with keratin treatments and uses high-quality products.
Ask about Ingredients: Opt for treatments that are formaldehyde-free or contain low levels of chemicals.
Use heat protectants: Avoid heat styling for several days after the treatment and use heat protectant products when necessary.
Use sulfate/silicone-free products: Use sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoos and conditioners to keep the hair hydrated and healthy.
Limit treatments to 1–2 times per year: For healthy hair avoid receiving keratin hair treatments more than once or twice a year.

Can I Color My Hair After a Keratin Treatment?

Yes—but with some considerations:

Wait at least two weeks before coloring: It is recommended to wait at least two weeks after the keratin hair treatment before coloring your hair. This allows the keratin to fully bond with your hair and prevents the color from stripping it away.
Choose ammonia-free or demi-permanent dyes: Avoid using harsh, ammonia-based colors on hair that has recently undergone a keratin treatment. Opt for gentler, semi-permanent or demi-permanent colors that are less damaging.
Color may appear darker or more vibrant after treatment: Keratin treatments can alter the color of your hair, making it appear darker or more vibrant. This may affect the final results of the color. It is advisable to consult with a professional stylist to determine the best color for your treated hair.
Additional Tips:
Consider coloring before the keratin treatment to maintain original color
Inform your stylist about keratin treatment before applying hair color
Carefully follow after-care instructions
Avoid frequent washing for the first few weeks after color service

Post-Keratin Sleep & Aftercare Tips

Does Sleeping Require Extra Care?

Yes. To ensure lasting treatment results:

Sleep on your back: For the first 3 days, avoid sleeping on your side or stomach, as this can cause creases and frizz.
Use silk/satin pillowcases: These fabrics reduce friction, which can damage hair and disrupt the keratin treatment.
Keep your hair down: For the first 72 hours avoid tying your hair up or using clips, as this can create creases and disrupt the smooth finish of the treatment.
Don’t get hair wet: For the first 72 hours, avoid washing, swimming, or getting caught in the rain.
Skip styling products: Let your hair fully absorb the treatment before adding any products.
Stay cool: Avoid sleeping in a hot, stuffy room, as this can cause sweating, which can negatively affect the keratin treatment.
