RELAXER OR REPAIR TREATMENT?

Keratin Treatment is not a relaxer or straightener. It is a "treatment" that penetrates the cuticle and then is sealed with either polymers or silicone base. The reason why so many people think that it is a straightener is because it leaves each strand heavily filled with keratin. Now... this will make sense to you. The more chemically or heat damaged cuticle on the hair, the more it will be filled with the keratin "nanomolecules". Adding weight to the hair and pulling it down. That means that someone whom has gotten a "Japanese, thermal or regular relaxer will have the impression that this is a relaxer. However if the Keratin treatment has been done on "healthy" hair that has no chemicals it just adds incredible shine and smoothness but the natural curl or wave remains ( in other words it won't straighten the hair) and it only last up to two months. This description is based on a person wanting to natural dry or air dry their hair. If you are to blow dry or flat iron your hair after the keratin treatment it will have less longevity. If you use an ingredient such as "Sodium chloride" in your shampoo or get a color service over the keratin treatment it will re-open the cuticle of the hair and once again remove the "nanomolecule" you payed so lovely for. The only way to permanently straighten hair is by chemically restructuring the natural "DNA" or bond formation of the hair. Then reconstructing it to permanently a straight formation so it CAN air dry stick straight. However two weeks after a straightener has been done the keratin treatment is awesome and you will be a happy camper that doesn't have to worry about humidity, blow drying or flat ironing anymore. Keep in mind that the right shampoo will keep your treatment in longer ( up to 4 months)
