Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment

What is it? It is a revolutionary process that softens, shines, reconditions and makes the hair healthy. It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. The results are smooth, silky hair.

The Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment is excellent on all types of chemically treated hair. i.e.: bleached, hi-lights, coloured, permed, relaxed or previously straightened. It is excellent for eliminating curly or frizzy hair, blocking humidity, and for repairing damaged, unhealthy, dull, and mistreated hair.

The Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment is made up of "Keratin" - approximately 88% of our hair is keratin - and the Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment comes in a natural liquid form that gently blends with your own hair. It brings to your hair what it is lacking and what it has lost over the years. The smaller keratin molecules penetrate the hair cortex improving and repairing the quality of the hair from the inside. The added strength, elasticity and moisture result in the smooth, soft, shiny and straightened effect. Formulated to use on all hair types, there are no harsh chemicals to open and close the hair cuticle in an effort to straighten it, "breaking the bonds" of the hair shaft. A perfect time to have the Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment is directly after colouring or chemically treating your hair. The colour will be sealed in leaving your hair vibrant and extending the life of the colour. The Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment can be safely used on children 12 years and older, teens and adults.

Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment is not permanent - it naturally fades out of your hair and your wave or curl will return. Hair will stay soft, shiny and healthy looking for six months or more. The more you repeat the treatment the better condition your hair becomes. Your hair becomes more manageable, will require less time for blow-drying and results with a flat iron are excellent.
