Why You Might Need a Keratin Treatment 💅♀️
Living in Arizona's heat and sun can make your hair frizzy and hard to handle. A keratin treatment infuses your hair with the protein it has lost, smoothing the cuticle so it stays sleek. If you spend a lot of time flat‑ironing or blow‑drying and still struggle with poofy or wavy strands, keratin can make your routine quicker and your hair shinier.
Before the Treatment: Prep & Consultation 🗓️
Before you sit in the salon chair, you’ll chat with a stylist at Salon Queen Creek about your hair goals. They’ll look at your texture and recommend the right formula. A day or two before, wash with a clarifying shampoo to remove product build‑up. Arrive with clean, dry hair and wear something comfy because you’ll be relaxing for a couple of hours. Don’t worry—you can use your phone or read while you wait.
During the Treatment: What Happens 💇♀️
The actual service takes around two to three hours, depending on your hair length and thickness. Your stylist will apply a keratin‑rich solution to small sections of your hair. Next comes the blow‑dryer to remove moisture and help the product penetrate. Finally, they’ll seal the keratin in using a flat iron. Modern formulas don’t smell strong like older versions, so you can breathe easy. This process bonds the keratin to each strand and creates that smooth, glassy finish.
After the Treatment: Enjoying the Results ✨
Right after you leave the salon, your hair will feel unbelievably soft and look extra shiny. You might notice your curls are looser and your hair dries faster. To make the results last, follow your stylist’s instructions: avoid washing for a few days, don’t tie your hair up tight, and switch to a sulfate‑free shampoo and conditioner. Also, keep your hair out of chlorine and salt water or rinse it immediately after swimming. Most people enjoy their smooth hair for three to six months, so the time you save on styling really adds up.
If you’re ready to tame the frizz and fall in love with your hair again, a keratin treatment could be your secret weapon. The team at Salon Queen Creek can customise the process just for you and guide you through every step. Book a consultation today and see the difference for yourself! 😊
