Keratin Treatments
WHAT IS A KERATIN TREATMENT
Hair relies on keratin to give it strength and form and if your natural keratin levels are low, your hair can appear dry, brittle, frizzy, dehydrated and damaged, which is where the man-made treatment comes in...
A keratin treatment forms a coating over the hair to mimic smoothness and shine. But despite the name, keratin isn't the main ingredient. Hair cannot accept more than around one percent extra keratin in a treatment without losing the moisture-protein balance. This balance is essential for the hair to retain its strength, suppleness and malleability and therefore use other sources of protein to repair the hair.
IS THIS TREATMENT SAFE FOR MY HAIR?
Yes absolutely! Fabriq & Nanokeratin are infused with advanced proteins to transform and repair all hair types and conditions; often referred to as 'Botox' for the hair these treatments contain all-natural premium plant based hydrating and moisturizing ingredients which are 100% vegan and cruelty free, and provide long term protection for your hair, repairing from the inside-out.
Actively used throughout Nationwide groups around the world, you can be confident Fabriq & Nanokeratin DO NOT contain any harsh ingredients or formaldehyde and DO NOT release any chemical off-gases.
WHICH HAIR TYPES SUIT THIS TREATMENT?
Essentially anyone who doesn't enjoy their hairs natural shape and movement, or condition and texture are ideal candidates for this treatment. Effective for rejuvenating ALL types of frizzy, damaged, unhealthy, dry, dull, mistreated hair.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT POST TREATMENT
You can expect healthier, stronger, glossy smooth hair that will look and feel amazing. Your hair will be easier to manage and style, reducing blow-drying time in half. Plus, if you like to heat style your hair you can get away with doing so far less often with this treatment in tow. You can walk around on damp or humid days without worrying that your hair will frizz up as your hair will hold its style. Think of it as having a great hair day everyday!
The results are immediate, there’s no downtime, and you can wash and style your hair the same day.
CAN I STILL CREATE STYLES
These systems allow for complete versatility of style - so you can create a super sleek and straight style or you can go for a more voluminous bouncy blow-dry finish - maybe even curls. Whatever your choice of style your hair will be much more manageable and will cause you so much less stress!
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT WITH COLOURED OR HIGHLIGHTED HAIR?
Absolutely yes! The treatment will improve the health of coloured or highlighted hair. I recommend that you have at least a 10-14 day gap between your treatment and colour/highlights service to avoid aggravating your hair. Please be aware this treatment can lighten certain hair colours, especially toners, however if you have any concerns please contact me.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF MY HAIR IS DAMAGED?
Yes these treatments are infused with high quality proteins and natural plant based ingredients that focus on repairing and strengthening broken cuticles, which create hair that's smoother, healthier and less prone to frizzing up.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF I HAVE SHORT HAIR?
Yes, the hair has to be at least two inches long or more for the straightening part of the process.
CAN I HAVE A TREATMENT IF I HAVE HAIR EXTENSIONS?
‘Real hair’ extensions can be treated, however I advise against treatment for other extensions as they are specially treated by the manufacturer and very different to your real hair. Extensions must be removed before treatment and fitted again at least 7 days post treatment.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF MY HAIR HAS BEEN RELAXED OR CHEMICALLY STRAIGHTENED?
Yes but I would wait at least two weeks.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF I'M PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
Absolutely, these treatments are built on conditioners and proteins and are safe to use, but if you have any concerns please consult your GP.
CAN I GO SWIMMING AFTER HAVING THE TREATMENT?
Yes, however the longevity of the treatment will be affected by continuous exposure to chlorine and/or sea water. You should use a professional sulfate free shampoo and use a quality conditioner after swimming regardless of whether you have a treatment or not. I recommend Philip Kingsley Swimcap hair mask before swimming.
CAN I USE ANY SHAMPOO POST TREATMENT?
No. You must use a professional sulfate free shampoo post treatment. I can recommend suitable shampoos and conditioners to suit different hair types.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Between 2.5 and 3.5 hours from start to finish, depending on the length and thickness of the hair
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS
Not that I am aware; however if you have any concerns please contact me
DOES THIS TREATMENT CONTAIN FORMALDEHYDE?
No, these treatments are free from formaldehyde and do NOT release any chemical off-gases.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED THE TREATMENT?
It does require re-doing approximately every 4 to 5 months depending on the individual’s hair type and preferences. The shiny glossy lightweight result at the end of the treatment will remain until the treatment naturally breaks down.
HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT LAST
Results will last between 3-4 months, depending on your hair type, condition and routine, on some occasions even longer. Regular treatments will produce progressive visible results as the hair becomes stronger and healthier.
RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS TREATMENT
These treatments are not suitable for: Hair treated with Henna; if you suffer from any scalp conditions such as scalp mycosis, psoriasis, and folliculitis.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A TREATMENT AT HOME?
It’s very simple, a table for my equipment and a chair for you to sit in comfortably, also a workable shower, as part of the treatment process involves me rinsing your hair... that's it!
