Based in Westport, CT, Studio D Salon & Boutique provides Keratin Treatment services, which are a popular salon treatment that helps to smooth and straighten frizzy or curly hair, reduce frizz and flyaways, and add shine and manageability. Keratin is essential for your hair, the treatments dive into the hair follicle and inject porous areas with keratin, an important hair protein.

Here is an overview of the keratin treatment process:

  1. Consultation: The first step is a consultation with a professional hairstylist who specializes in keratin treatments. During this consultation, you can discuss your hair type, desired results, and any concerns or questions you may have. The stylist will assess your hair condition and determine if a keratin treatment is suitable for you.

  2. Hair Preparation: Before the treatment, your hair will be washed with a clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup, oils, and impurities. This step ensures that the keratin treatment can penetrate the hair effectively.

  3. Application: The stylist will divide your hair into sections and apply the keratin treatment solution to each section, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. The treatment is typically applied with a brush or comb, ensuring even distribution. It's important to note that the solution contains keratin protein, along with other ingredients that may vary depending on the brand and type of treatment.

  4. Processing Time: Once the keratin treatment solution is applied, it needs time to penetrate the hair shaft and work its magic. The stylist will let the treatment sit on your hair for a specific period, usually around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the brand and the desired results.

  5. Heat Application: Heat is an essential step in the keratin treatment process as it helps to activate and seal in the treatment. The stylist will use a flat iron set at a specific temperature to straighten and seal the hair strands. This step allows the keratin to bond with the hair cuticles, resulting in smoother and more manageable hair.

  6. Cooling and Rinse: After the heat application, your hair will be left to cool down before rinsing. Some treatments require a cooling period of around 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, the stylist will rinse your hair with water to remove any excess treatment residue.

  7. Blow-Drying and Styling: After rinsing, the stylist will blow-dry your hair using a round brush to achieve a smooth and polished finish. They may also use a flat iron or other styling tools if needed to further enhance the straightening effect and create the desired style.

  8. Aftercare Instructions: The stylist will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your keratin treatment. This may include avoiding washing your hair for a specific period (typically 24-72 hours), using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and minimizing exposure to humidity and moisture.
