Delray Beach Hairdresser : Keratin

A keratin treatment is a smoothing process that infuses your hair with a protein-rich formula, sealing it into the cuticle using heat. This strengthens the hair and creates a sleek, frizz-free finish. At Delray Beach Hairdresser, our stylists use salon-grade keratin systems that are designed to reduce puffiness, add shine, and cut down on styling time without permanently altering your natural texture. The treatment works by filling in gaps along the hair shaft caused by dryness or damage, making your strands smoother, softer, and more manageable.

Not necessarily—it depends on your natural texture and how the treatment is applied. If you have tight curls or waves, a keratin treatment will significantly reduce frizz and may loosen the curl pattern, but it won't make your hair pin-straight unless that's your goal. Our Delray Beach Hairdressers customize the process based on your desired outcome, whether that's softening texture, increasing shine, or achieving a sleek, smooth finish. If you're looking for full straightening, we'll walk you through the best options during your consultation.

Most keratin treatments last between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how often you wash your hair, your hair texture, and your home care routine. Using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner is key to maintaining the treatment's results. At Delray Beach Hairdresser, we'll provide aftercare recommendations to help you extend the benefits of your treatment. With proper care, many of our clients in Palm Beach County enjoy smooth, frizz-free hair well into the third month.

Yes, keratin treatments are generally safe and can even help repair the look and feel of chemically treated hair. In fact, many of our guests book a keratin treatment after color services to restore softness and shine. Our Delray Beach Hairdressers use formulas that are gentle and formulated to protect your color. We'll evaluate your hair condition during the consultation to ensure it's the right fit and tailor the process to preserve both your health and hue.

Before your keratin appointment, it's best to arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products. After your treatment, we recommend waiting 48–72 hours before washing your hair or using ponytail holders or clips. This allows the formula to fully set and deliver the smoothest results. At Delray Beach Hairdresser, we'll walk you through exactly how to care for your hair post-treatment and recommend products to keep it looking its best. Call today to schedule your appointment—we can't wait to smooth things over.
