\"first<\/p>\n

Did you do a keratin straightening treatment?<\/p>\n

Do you want your hair to look amazing for longer?<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to tell you exactly how to care for your hair after a keratin treatment. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first days after a keratin are fundamental.<\/p>\n

Anything that you do bad can ruin the treatment. During these first days we have to be very careful with our hair.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the first thing that I\u2019m going to tell you is how to care for your hai during the first 48-72 hours <\/strong><\/span>after doing the keratin treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another key so that keratin lasts longer is the shampoo that we use to wash your hair.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the best shampoo for hair with keratin?<\/p>\n

What should shampoo not have?<\/p>\n

We are going to talk about all of this today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

5\u00a0ways to care for your hair after keratin<\/h2>\n

\"Sleeping<\/p>\n

(So that your hair doesn\u2019t end up like this)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wash your get your hair wet<\/h3>\n

\"Do<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s suppose that you have done a keratin treatment.<\/p>\n

You are in love with the results.<\/p>\n

Your hair looks perfectly straight and without frizz like is hasn\u2019t looked in years.<\/p>\n

You get home and you hop in the shower to wash off the sweat.<\/p>\n

First mistake.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keratin treatments shouldn\u2019t get wet<\/a> for 48 to 72 hours.<\/p>\n

There are many brands of keratin. In general, if you use a professional quality keratin it should come with instructions for use. In these instructions you should say how long you should wait to wash your hair after doing a treatment. <\/strong><\/span>This is something that you have to ask the hair stylist that is applying the treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tie up your hair, or stretch it or bend it<\/h3>\n

\"after<\/p>\n

In those first days you also can\u2019t tie up your hair with bows, clips, pigtails or ponytails or anything else. If you tie up your hair, you run the risk of marking it. And you don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t do physical exercise that makes you sweat<\/h3>\n

\"it<\/p>\n

Another thing that seems obvious, but some people look it over is the topic of doing physical exercise. In the first days after doing the treatment, avoid doing any type of physical activity that creates sweat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>If you sweat, your hair will get wet. Like we said. Like we said before, we can\u2019t run that risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expose your hair to the sun<\/h3>\n

\"Do<\/p>\n

During the first few days, don\u2019t expose your hair to the son. If because of forces of God you have to be in the sun, you can cover your hair with a handkerchief. But if it\u2019s possible avoid the sun during the first two or three days after doing the keratin treatment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t touch or stroke your hair<\/h3>\n

\"nor<\/p>\n

Many people are used to walking around touching their hair all the time. <\/strong><\/span>They are watching television and they are stroking their hair as if it were their pet. They are reading and at the same time playing with a chunk of hair. If you have that bad habit, I ask nicely that you don\u2019t do it for at least the first few days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember that the first hours of the treatment are the most delicate and you have to pay more attention so that you don\u2019t ruin the treatment.<\/p>\n

I always say the same thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just for a few days to then later enjoy straight and shiny hair<\/a> for various months. The effort during the first few days is worth it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After getting through the first few days, we can relax a bit. But not that much. Choosing correct washing products is key so that the effects of the treatment remain intact for longer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What shampoo to use after the keratin treatment<\/h2>\n

\"what<\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t pay enough attention to the shampoo or conditioner. They simply buy the cheapest one or the one that has the most attractive bottle.<\/p>\n

This strategy is okay for hair that hasn\u2019t gone through a keratin treatment. But using just any shampoo on hair with keratin is the same as throwing the money you spent on the treatment<\/a> into the trash.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because if you use any shampoo or conditioner from the supermarket on your hair with keratin, surely you will end up ruining your hair in a few days.<\/p>\n

What shampoo should you use then?<\/p>\n

\"after<\/p>\n

The ideal is to use a sulfate-free shampoo.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve talked about sulfate-free shampoos so many times that I\u2019ve lost count.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shampoos are made with many chemical ingredients. One of those chemical ingredients is called sulfates.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about sulfates is that it is found in most shampoos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A few years ago, I ended up running into and old friend from high school all over the place. Everywhere I went I ran into her.<\/p>\n

I was in the supermarket doing my shopping and I ran into her. I was walking down the street with my kids and I saw her. I was on the metro and I saw her. Sulfates in your shampoo are like this classmate of mine. They are always there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can imagine, sulfates and keratin treatments<\/a>\u00a0don\u2019t get along well.<\/p>\n

What sulfates do is make the keratin fade. Sulfates are going to get rid of the shine and the silkiness that the keratin treatment had given to your hair.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that if you use a shampoo with sulfates that the keratin is going to disappear from your hair like magic. But it is true that sulfates erase the effects of the treatment much more quickly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luckily and thank heavens that since a few years ago, you can find sulfate-free shampoos. This is really good news if you have done a keratin treatment.<\/p>\n

If in the worst case scenario it is impossible for you to get sulfate-free shampoo, there is another alternative.<\/p>\n

Shampoos for dyed hair.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which sulfate-free shampoo to choose<\/h3>\n

\"ideal<\/p>\n

Sulfate-free shampoos aren\u2019t chosen by brand. You choose them based on availability. I\u2019m trying to say that if someone would want a common shampoo\u00a0 with sulfates, the options are endless. It\u2019s not the same with sulfate-free shampoo.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t as many options available. Especially if you don\u2019t live in a big city. So you\u2019ll have to choose according to what\u2019s available.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Check Shea Moisture Shampoo on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whenever people ask me about sulfate-free shampoos, I recommend Shea Moisture. The quality is impressive. You will see a difference from the first use. So if you are able to find this, you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using the flat iron and hair dryer after keratin<\/h2>\n

\"avoid<\/p>\n

Anything in excess is bad.<\/p>\n

Eating a lot is bad.<\/p>\n

Drinking a lot is bad.<\/p>\n

Abusing your keratin treated hair with heat is bad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That last point is up for debate.<\/p>\n

Some hair stylists recommend completely avoiding flat irons and hair dryers after this type of treatment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other hair stylists recommend the opposite. They recommend using heat because keratin is thermoactive<\/a>. What does thermoactive mean?<\/p>\n

That it is activated with heat. Every time that you apply heat to your hair it recovers its shine and smoothness.<\/p>\n

\"thermoactive<\/p>\n

I recommend a middle point. You can use the flat iron and the hair dyer, if and when it\u2019s in moderation.  If your idea is to use the flat iron or hair dryer every day, then you will ruin the keratin in a short amount of time.  <\/span>\n

As much as some hair stylists don\u2019t agree with this, heat tools wear out the treatment. Especially when you use poor quality heat tools like what most people have.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t have a professional hair dryer in their house. They also don\u2019t have a professional flat iron<\/a>. Non-professional tools don\u2019t have a heat regulator. This makes it so that without realizing, we apply a lot more heat to our hair than what it really needs.<\/p>\n

My advice is to use the hair dryer and the flat iron only when necessary. There are other ways of drying your hair without<\/a> a hair dryer for example. It takes a bit loner but this way, the keratin will last longer and you won\u2019t ruin the beautiful hair that God gave you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swimming and keratin<\/h2>\n

\"in<\/p>\n

Many people that swim ask me if it is a good idea to do keratin.<\/p>\n

You can do keratin if you want. But you have to know that the effects are going to last less time than in a person that doesn\u2019t swim. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The water in swimming pools has chlorine<\/a>. Chlorine and keratin don\u2019t get along well. It\u2019s along the same lines as what we talked about in respect to sulfate shampoos.<\/p>\n

So, if you swim, think twice before doing keratin. I\u2019ll say it again if it isn\u2019t clear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that you can\u2019t do keratin. You won\u2019t be committing any sins if you do it. But you have to know that the effects won\u2019t last as long as you would like.<\/p>\n
