What if your daugter asks for a keratin straightening treamtent as a birthday gift?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I’m sure we’re not the only moms whose daughters want their hair straightened.<\/p>\n And surely, you’re not the only mom who’s been simply shocked by the request.<\/p>\n What happened to your little girl who just yesterday was\u00a0 playing with Barbies?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, your little girl is turning into a young lady. That’s all.<\/p>\n But are you worried that keratin treatments aren’t safe for your little girl?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I assure you there’s nothing to worry about. Keratin treatments are a safe treatment for 12 year-old girls, adolescents, and women. <\/span>\n This treatment has been shown to be safe for a long. That being said, you should make sure that keratin treatment you choose doesn’t contain formaldehyde.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ll tell you why later, but first let you tell me about Angelica, one of my clients and the mother of a 12-year-old girl.<\/p>\n One day she arrived at the salon, as she did every other month. But this time she came in with her daughter, a playful 12-year-old girl named Bel\u00e9n.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She came forward and whispered something in my ear, but I couldn’t hear her.<\/p>\n She then glanced at the ceiling, her daughter, back to the ceiling…<\/p>\n Was she having a seizure? Finally I just asked her what on earth was bothering her.<\/p>\n Finally, and almost intears, she burst out, “You have to help me! I told Bel\u00e9n that keratin is dangerous for her hair!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then it was my turn to glance back and forth between Angelica’s desperate face and Bel\u00e9n’s earnest one.<\/p>\n I invited them both to take a seat, so I could explain what was involved in a keratin treatment.<\/p>\n Are you tired of your daughter begging for a keratin straightening treatment?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If so, keep reading to learn all you need to know to make the best decision for you and your daughter.<\/p>\n Today we’re going to discuss:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n First of all, I want to make one thing clear: although keratin straightening treamtent can be done on minors, I’m not saying all mothers should let their daughters do so.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Whenever someone is considering a hair treatment -especially a minor- it’s imporant to do two consults.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And of course, never let her do a keratin straigtening treatment at home. Or worse, unsupervised at a friend’s house.<\/p>\n Want to know why?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First of all, because only a professional can tell if the products contain formaldehyde<\/a> or not.<\/p>\n Many times formadydye appears under different names on different products.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keratin, which by itself does not contain formaldehyde, is simply a harmless protien. Your hair and nails naturally contain keratin.<\/p>\n Secondly, because the sealing process can be just as imporant as choosing the right product. In order for the keratin to penetrate the hair fiber, it needs to be sealed with a flat iron.<\/p>\n The flat iron needs to be at the correct temperature. The stlyleist also need to know how to seal the hair, as leaving the flat iron on a few seconds longer than necessary can damage the hair, and even lave burn marks. And even burn and damage it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I your daughter is getting a kertatin straightening treatment done by a professional, rest assured that it’s complerly safe. <\/span>\n If possible, choose a professional recommended by friends or family.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know that keratin treatments are safe, it’s also important to know what what hair types it works best with.<\/p>\n One factor to consider is if your daughter has very fine or course hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Becuase that can make the difference between a keratin treatment being recommended… or not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your daughter has very fine hair, I don’t recommended a keratin treatment. Nor do I recommended one if she has thin hair.<\/p>\n Not only does this treatment have very little effect on fine hair, it can weaken the strands and even cause breakage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, if she has course hair, she’s a good candidate for the treatment.<\/p>\n Does your daugher straighten her hair with a flat iron practically every day<\/a>?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In that case, I would reccomended keratin straightening, so she wouldn’t need to straighten her hair all the time And to reduce heat damage. <\/span>\n Keratin strengthens the hair, and make it almost completly straight when dry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additionally, if your daughter complains about frizz<\/a> the keratin treatment will eliminate it.<\/p>\n Another factor to consider is if your daughter loses many hair strands throughout the day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If that’s the case, it’s important to consult with a dermatologist, who may be able to diagnose the cause, before considering a keratin treatment.<\/p>\n The keratin can help prevent hair loss. Like I mentioned before, hair is composed of keratin, as well as vitamins, metals, melanin, and water. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Any dag in the hair structure can cause brittle hair that breaks easily.<\/p>\n When your daughter gets a keratin treatment, the proteins in the product temporarily adhere to the hair fiber and fill any gaps, which strengthens the strand.<\/p>\n The protects the hair form additional damange and normal wear and tear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the treatment, caring for your daughter’s hair can be a challenge, as the texture is constantly changing as it grows.<\/p>\n But for the best -and safest- results, you also need to explain some things to your daughter. After all, you’re the one that’d going to paying for it, and no one wants to waste money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She will have to sit still in the stylist's chair for two to three hours while the stylist applies the treatment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This can feel like an eternity for a young girl,so make sure she brings her phone to the appointment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If that’s the case, ask the stylist to ventilate the salon to minimize the odor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n
