It\u2019s not normal and it shouldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, it sometimes happens. Like it happened to Natalia.<\/p>\n<p>The question is, Why?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why Natalia\u2019s hair fell out after doing a keratin treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Most of the time that your hair falls out after doing a hair treatment, it has to do with two reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1-<\/strong> The treatment applied was of poor quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2-<\/strong> The treatment was applied poorly and damaged the hair and\/or scalp<\/p>\n<p>The third reason would be a combination of the two previous ones. A poor-quality treatment was applied and at the same time, it was poorly applied.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I talked an infinite amount of times about the dangers of using products of doubtful quality.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately in this case, the most secure option is to use brand-name products.<\/p>\n<p>Always use brand-name products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffabef;color:#000000\">&nbsp;When someone goes to a salon to do a keratin treatment or whatever other one, you have to check what product they use on the hair. If the product that they offer doesn\u2019t have a brand then it\u2019s best to look for another salon. &nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>Why do some salons use generic brand products?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Salons use generic Brand products to cut costs and be able to offer more affordable treatments. That way, they sell more and everyone is happy.<\/p>\n<p>Why do you think that the same treatment in some salons is offered for 300 dollars and in others it\u2019s offered at 50 dollars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to tell you why.<\/p>\n<p>Because it\u2019s not the same treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The one that costs 300 dollars in general is a <a href=\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/en\/formaldehyde-free-keratin-treatment-straighten-your-hair-without-the-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">good quality treatment<\/a>. They use brand-name products and it is done by professionals that have done the treatment hundreds and hundreds of times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then, there is the treatment that is offered for 50 dollars. <span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffb5e8;color:#000000\">&nbsp;To offer the treatment at this ridiculous price, they use the worst-quality products possible. Products that I don\u2019t recommend even to my worst enemy (luckily, I don\u2019t have enemies to recommend these products to).&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the best case, using generic brand products will have no consequences. The results are what you hoped for and everyone is happy. But Natalia didn\u2019t have the same luck.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the second message that she sent me, she said that she had done a keratin straightening treatment, but that she didn\u2019t know what products they used in her hair.<\/p>\n<p>When I ask people, \u201cWhat brand of product did they use on their hair,\u201d and they don\u2019t know the answer, that\u2019s not a good sign. I can almost 100% say that they used a generic brand product on their hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The treatment that Natalia did, from what she told me, they gave her on sale.<\/p>\n<p>On sale?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is no such thing as a keratin treatment that\u2019s on sale.<\/p>\n<p>You should know that keratin treatments are expensive.<\/p>\n<p>The products that are used to do it are expensive and the application process is so delicate that a professional that is trained on the subject has to do it. That\u2019s why there is no way that this hair treatment can be cheap like they offer in some salons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The second reason that hair treatments fail and cause hair loss is poor application<\/h2>\n<p>This is much more common than what people think. For some reason, the idea spread that doing a keratin treatment was as easy as hard boiling an egg. That couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffabef;color:#000000\">&nbsp;Doing a keratin straightening treatment is not easy. I\u2019m not saying that you need to have a university degree to apply keratin, but it\u2019s also not simple.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since people think that doing keratin is easy, then they do it by themselves and they do something even worse.<\/p>\n<p>They go to salons where people work without experience in applying these types of treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Between applying keratin with a stylist that has no experience and applying it yourself, there really is no difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the best case, doing a treatment with an inexperienced person doesn\u2019t have negative consequences. But a lot of the times, falling into the hands of a novice has negative consequences. Like what happened to Natalia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyone could think that Natalia had bad luck. She had bad luck because she not only went to a salon with novice stylists, but on top of that, they used horrible quality products on her hair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, she didn\u2019t have bad luck. Because we can\u2019t pretend that a <em>\u201cpseudo hair stylists\u201d <\/em>or a stylist that plays with the health of people, uses high-quality products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What happens when you use poor-quality products and on top of that, they are applied by bad stylists?<\/h2>\n<p>The consequences of these straightening treatments show up little by little.<\/p>\n<p>First, the hair seems pasty or straw-like as if someone had thrown a boat of glue on our head. But this is just the beginning of the nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, the hair starts to break and fall out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s starts out with just a bit. At first, it\u2019s just a few hairs while we shower. And some when we brush our hair. Not much different from normal hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But in a few days, things start to get worse. The few hairs we have turn into full chunks. Full chunks come out of our heads as if it were a horror movie.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not a movie.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the cruel truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bathroom becomes overrun with hair that not that long ago was in your head.<\/p>\n<p>Natalia told me that every day she checked her hair in the mirror and every time it had less volume.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was afraid of ending up bald.<\/p>\n<p>She told me.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I had less and finer hair. Little by little my scalp started to show. It was despairing.<\/p>\n<p>How long will my hair fall out for? If I continue, will I end up bald?<br \/>\nShe thought.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Could Natalia finally stop her hair loss?<\/p>\n<p>In her desperation, Natalia started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/biotin-hair-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taking Biotin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One afternoon I searched on Google, <em>\u201cHow to stop hair loss.\u201d<\/em> Many sites recommended biotin. I brought myself to test it out. I was taking biotin for a month.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing happened. My hair kept falling out. And to make things worse, Biotin hurt my stomach.<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffb5e8;color:#000000\">&nbsp;Finally, I did something that I should have done in the first place. I talked to a dermatologist.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I didn\u2019t do it at first because I was embarrassed. And scared.<\/p>\n<p>Scared of what the dermatologist was going to tell me. Maybe he would say that there was no solution. Maybe he would say that I was going to end up bald from doing a straightening treatment. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t bring myself to talk to a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But now it was a matter of life or death. So, I decided to visit a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p>What did the doctor tell me?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is hair loss permanent after a straightening treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing the doctor said was that hair loss after a straightening treatment was completely normal.<\/p>\n<p>She told me that I wasn\u2019t the first person that came in with that problem, which relaxed me a lot. I thought I was the only person in the world that this had happened to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The doctor explained to me that a lot of time\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Prevent-Hair-Loss-Due-to-Stress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hair falls out due to stress<\/a><u>.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>It can be stress at the emotional level, but also stress at a physical level. That\u2019s something that I already knew.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#ffb5e8;color:#000000\">&nbsp;What I didn\u2019t know is that hair treatments like keratin can also cause stress. It\u2019s a different stress because it starts at the roots of the hair. &nbsp;<\/span>\n<p>The most important thing that the doctor explained was that this type of hair loss isn\u2019t permanent.<\/p>\n<p>The difference from other types of hair loss like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pattern_hair_loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pattern hair loss<\/a>, is the that the hair loss produced after a keratin treatment isn\u2019t permanent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that the hair that falls out we aren\u2019t going to get back. But it doesn\u2019t mean that new hair won\u2019t grow.<\/p>\n<p>What happens is that obviously, the hair falls out much faster than what it grows. Hair falls out in a few instances. However, it can take months for it to grow back to an appreciable volume.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, you have to understand that we are losing long hairs. The ones that give us a lot of the volume in our hair. For new hairs to reach the same length, you have to wait months, even years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the important thing is that you won\u2019t end up bald. Your hair is growing.<\/p>\n<p>So, you\u2019ll have to be patient, my friend Natalia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusions and what happened to Natalia\u2019s hair?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15798\" src=\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shampoo-para-no-arruinar-el-alisado.jpg\" alt=\"and hair loss\" width=\"250\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shampoo-para-no-arruinar-el-alisado.jpg 250w, https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shampoo-para-no-arruinar-el-alisado-174x300.jpg 174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 14px;\">After the straightening treatment, it is convenient to change the shampoo for a sulfate-free one, like <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/shampooSheaMoisture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shea Moisture, check price on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seemed interesting that Natalia herself hold us how her hair was today.<\/p>\n<p>Is it still falling out?<\/p>\n<p>Could she stop it from falling out?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the first message Natalia sent, about a year has passed more or less.
