KERATIN TREAMENTS
Breaking the Myth behind Formaldehyde
The fuss about Formaldehyde in the hair straightening and/or smoothening processes is getting out of control. I use only the safest products on my clients hair to protect them, myself and my co-workers.
When I first learned of keratin relaxing and smoothing treatments, I could not wait to get my hands on it. I have very curly, full volume, slightly frizzy hair. The keratin products has been a wonder solution system for me. I can now wear my hair straight and shiny, as well as curly without the frizz. Now I minimally blow dry and then thermal straighten or curl my hair. The ease is great and the time spent styling is so much less for a beautiful result.
This kind of product restores your hair by pushing keratin back into the shaft. This is something we lose with age or the elements in the environment. This product actually restores the luster and sheen that has been taken. You can use this treatment on color treated hair from light to the darkest of hair color ranging on hair types such as very unmanageable to soft fine quality. Women, men and children alike have come to love this product.
I can custom any style with this method on fringe or bang area, front angle of frame, sides, back or bottom of hair, on whatever parts you have the most trouble styling. Others want the whole head done because it to difficult to style.
Some ask if it will leave their hair to flat and straight laying close to their head. First of all, this IS NOT A Japanese STRAIGHTENING SYSTEM.
This system leaves your hair without frizz, your hair back to its youthful state. If fullness is what you want to keep as part of the finished product, I can achieve that by the approach I will take to customize.
Services can be performed on children, ranging between ages 10 to 17 but I will need the parents’ consent to perform this procedure. Parents come to me
My male clients desire the treatment as well because they want to achieve certain styles that simply look a lot “cooler” with straightened and relaxed portions of hair. If their hair is extremely wavy and curly, they would usually cut their hair very short to control the wide sides or Bozo effect of hair growing outwards instead of downwards. With keratin treatments, they can achieve certain styles their natural hair just won’t allow.
The formulas come in different levels of strength. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, is how I determine what level I would choose -- which leads to the forbidden word formaldehyde. The amount used in the products I use are kept at a very low level. You need this product or its natural version aldehyde to make these treatments work. There are so many products we wear such as clothing and use everyday such as lipsticks, hair products that has formaldehyde in it. To get more real deal information on this, I want to encourage you to go to www.formaldehydefacts.org . Come in and talk to me as part of a consultation so I can dispel any fears you might have in regards to this.
What you can expect upon receiving a treatment from me is great results and a process that is very relaxing.
The after care is no SHAMPOOING OR GETTING HAIR WET FOR 72 HOURS. If you do manage to get your hair wet by mistake, you simply dry it right away. Also if you wake up and your hair is messed from a bed head situation you can very easily iron it in place. You cannot put bands or barrettes in the hair for the first 72 hours. After the 72 hours are up you can wash and style as usual and see and live with your new healthier looking hair. The shampoo and conditioner must be salt free. During swimming months, if you should get salt water on your hair, you just immediately rinse your hair with cold water as soon as you get out of the water to remove any lingering salt that might remain in the hair shaft.
Come and be a part of the success stories I have witnessed for my clients who now have alternatives for their unruly hair. You don’t have to feel stuck in a style any longer like I had always felt as a young girl. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment to help you help yourself to achieve a fashionable, beautiful, trendy and shiny hairstyle that you always dreamed of.
