How much does it cost to do a keratin treatment?<\/p>\n
This is one of the most common questions that I get by email.<\/p>\n
And the answer is that a keratin treatment can cost between 90 and 250 dollars.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can bet that you are making a scandalous face right now.<\/p>\n And that you are asking how there could be such a difference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s that everything depends on if you do the treatment in a salon or if you decide to do the treatment at home. <\/span>\n Because a keratin treatment is a service.<\/p>\n A service done by a professional with certain products.<\/p>\n And as such, you have to pay the price.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it also depends on where the salon is located. Because the prices are then same at a salon in New York where the stars go as a salon in Buenos Aires. <\/span>\n For example, if we are talking about good salons, in Buenos Aires, a keratin treatment can cost you 70 dollars.<\/p>\n While in New Yok, you can end up paying 150 dollars.<\/p>\n And in Madrid, 200 euros.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, it will depend on the quality of the products.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s not the same going to a salon where they work with well-known keratin brands like Salerm, Alfaparf, or John Frieda, as opposed to going to salons where they work with generic products.<\/p>\n And if in addition to the keratin, they apply other types of products to do a more complete treatment, the price will also increase.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it will also depend on the length of your hair.<\/p>\n Since a professional will have to work a lot more on longer hair than on short hair.<\/p>\n And they will use more product on hair that goes down to a person\u2019s waist as opposed to someone that has short hair.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I can\u2019t give you just one price to do a keratin treatment.<\/p>\n But, I will tell you:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n Before starting to explain to you the basis of the difference in prices between a keratin treatment done at home and one done at a salon, we are going to agree upon one thing.<\/p>\n Since the differences in prices between the keratin treatments depend on the country that we are talking about, from now on, I\u2019m going to use an average price.<\/p>\n Agreed?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The professional that completes a keratin treatment in a salon invests time.<\/p>\n When you do this type of treatment in a salon, you should know that you will be in the salon for between approximately four and five hours. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Yes, just as you read it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keratin implies application time.<\/p>\n But more than anything, it means a long product sealing time that is done by using the flat iron about fifteen times piece by piece. <\/span>\n And when I say piece by piece, they are very small pieces of hair, the smallest possible.<\/p>\n Because this assures that the product, that is nothing more than pure protein that relaxes the hair, restores it manageability and makes it softer without causing permanent damage works correctly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To start, the stylist will wash the hair with a clarifying shampoo<\/a> to open the cuticle of the hair and guarantee that there won\u2019t be any dirty that prevents the keratin from penetrating.<\/p>\n After, they will proceed to dry the hair.<\/p>\n Later, they will apply the keratin piece by piece, distributing it uniformly.<\/p>\n Once the keratin treatment is finished, they will dry the hair with a heat source.<\/p>\n Meaning, with a hair dryer.<\/p>\n As if they were doing a brushing.<\/p>\n After, comes the most arduous work for the hair dresser.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Divide the hair in small sections, very small, and use the flat iron some fifteen times on each of them.<\/p>\n This part of the job is in the end what mostly influences the price of the treatment of doing a keratin treatment in the salon.<\/p>\n Because the stylist will spend more than three hours on their feet using the flat iron and assuring that the product takes the desired effect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is it worth it?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While you think about it, I\u2019ll tell you how much it costs to do a keratin treatment at home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A good producto for doing keratin at home will cost you about 40 dollars.<\/p>\n Whether you have long or short hair.<\/p>\n If you have short hair, enough could be left over to do the treatment again after three or four months.<\/p>\n If you have long hair, you may need to use all of the product.<\/p>\n It will all depend on the length of your hair.<\/p>\n And your patience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because what you can\u2019t skimp on is the time that you invest to achieve the best results. <\/span>\n You should allow at least three hours to flat iron each one of your small pieces of hair.<\/p>\n And also, it can be a bit uncomfortable to flat iron the pieces at the back of your head.<\/p>\n You have to practically be a contortionist.<\/p>\n In addition, you need to use a practically professional flat iron.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because in order for the keratin to penetrate and seal the cuticles of the hair, it needs to stay at 200\u00b0 Celsius during the whole process.<\/p>\n In addition, you should add in the cost of a clarifying shampoo that you will use at the start of the treatment to get rid of the residue of other products that could still be in your hair.<\/p>\n This shampoo can cost between 8 and 20 dollars depending on the brand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In conclusion:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition, if your hair is not that long, it could actually cost you thirty dollars since the product could last to do another treatment again in three months.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll ask you again, is it worth paying for the keratin treatment in a salon?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a stylist, I always say yes.<\/p>\n Because we are controlling the products.<\/p>\n Products that also, if you don\u2019t understand them well, you run the risk of being swindled.<\/p>\n What is that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nowadays you can find an uncountable amount of offers for Keratin on Amazon or other similar sales platforms. <\/span>\n But not all products are good.<\/p>\n Not all of them are free of formol, a substance that can become a carcinogen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, your flat iron may not be the best to assure the best results.<\/p>\n Apart from that, using the flat iron involves knowledge.<\/p>\n Although most people don\u2019t think of it like that.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t use the flat iron correctly you run the risk of burning your hair and splitting the ends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like I always say, in the end, you are the one that decides.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But if you are looking for a treatment that will recover the health of your hair.<\/p>\n Nourish it\u2026<\/p>\n Give it shine \u2026<\/p>\n Moisturize it \u2026<\/p>\n I\u2019m one of those that thinks that it is best to pay for a keratin treatment in the salon.<\/p>\n Especially for those people that waste a lot of time during the day using the flat iron so that their straight hair looks perfect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No.<\/p>\n What makes a keratin treatment more expensive is not a product.<\/p>\n The price includes all the products that you will use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But if your ends are too split and broken, it could be that you need to trim your ends<\/a> so that the treatment looks better in the end.<\/p>\n Trimming the ends can cost between fifteen and twenty dollars.<\/p>\n And if a professional advises you to trim to your ends so that the keratin ends up perfect, my advice is that you listen to them. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n I know these are hard times.<\/p>\n But I\u2019m going to ask you a question.<\/p>\n When you go to a restaurant and you ask for a pizza, do you take the mozzarella home so that your pizza can be less expensive?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With hair salon treatments, it\u2019s the same thing.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t skimp if you want a professional to give you a guarantee of their work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now you are a happy girl with straight, silky, frizz-free hair.<\/p>\n But start to prepare yourself.<\/p>\n Because keratin doesn\u2019t last forever<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because the internal structure of your hair doesn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you can always extend its effects if you know how to care for it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you have spent a good amount of money on the treatment, it\u2019s best to care for it so that it lasts longer, don\u2019t you think? <\/span>\n Just imagine that with a few specific methods of care, you can manage to extend the life of your keratin treatment for a few months.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other hand, if you continue with your usual habits you may have to apply the treatment again after less time.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why now I\u2019ll tell you a few tips to be able to lengthen the effects of the treatment on your hair.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter if your scalp itches.<\/p>\n Or if you feel like a thousand lice are running around in your hair.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t wash it.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get it wet.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t go swimming.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t leave your house if it is raining. At least, if you don\u2019t have an umbrella with you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keratin is malleable even after the first twenty-four hours.<\/p>\n If you pull your hair back or you pin it back with clips, the only thing that you will achieve is leaving marks on your hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying that you should stop all physical activity forever, but at least for the first few days after applying the keratin.<\/p>\n After, caring for your hair in the sun seems obvious to me, and also, something that is easy to do. Simply use a hat or a handkerchief and you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sulfates are a chemical ingredient that most shampoos that we usually use have.<\/p>\n The only thing that this ingredient does is speed up the fading of the keratin, so the ideal would be to always avoid sulfates when possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n
