keratin treatment myself, especially around summer<\/a> when I went to the beach.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
I remember that I was supposed to leave the keratin treatment for 72 hours on my hair, but I never complied with that instruction.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well, while it was a pleasure to have frizz-free hair, it was also unbearable to have such a heavy product on my head for more than 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Besides, since my hair is fine, a couple of hours was enough to get the job done. What do I mean?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The worst thing that could happen if you wash your hair too soon is that your hair may lose the effect of the keratin treatment. <\/span>\nThis may happen if your hair is not too porous and is also thick.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Generally, thicker hair has a hard time holding on to anti-frizz treatments such as keratin.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\nOn the other hand, if you\u2019re a bit luckier and your hair is thinner or more porous, perhaps some product will remain in the hair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You should know that, even if 90% of the keratin is rinsed out after the first wash, there\u2019s still 10% of the keratin that remains in the hair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What to do to avoid losing all the keratin after having washed the hair too early<\/h2>\n
![\"activate](\"https:\/\/botoxcapilar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mujer-seca-su-pelo-con-keratina.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Let’s take advantage of that small percentage of the keratin treatment that will still be in your hair after you’ve rushed to wash it before 24 hours.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The best thing to do is to blow-dry your hair for the next seven hair washes after the keratin treatment. <\/span>\nRemember that the keratin treatment is thermoactive. That way, you\u2019ll have the opportunity, if any, to activate any residue left on your fine hair.<\/p>\n
Don’t give up, and give it a try. You have nothing to lose!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I washed my hair 24 hours after the keratin treatment<\/h2>\n
If you wash your hair after at least 24 hours, you have nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n
As I said at the beginning, times vary depending on the amount of formaldehyde in the hair. However, 24 hours is a proper exposure time for your keratin treatment. It’s likely that the chemicals in the product already penetrated your hair.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nWhen a keratin treatment is well done from start to finish, the result is usually successful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An exception is if your hair is too untamable and the treatment is not properly sealed or flat ironed.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, if your hair is too thick. I especially highlight thick hair because it has a harder time retaining products.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another difference will make or break your treatment regardless of whether you washed it after 24 hours.<\/p>\n The result of a keratin treatment will not be the same if you applied it yourself at home or with a friend as if done by a professional hairdresser. <\/span>\nThe professional stylist has probably done a suitable job by ironing the keratin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
70% of the success of the treatment depends on ironing or sealing the keratin. So, if a professional has applied the keratin, you don’t have to worry about having washed your head too soon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In conclusion, 24 hours or so makes the difference in your keratin treatment.<\/h2>\n
In this article, I told you why you should wait to wash your hair after the treatment<\/strong>,<\/span> especially if your hair is too thick and untamable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
You also know that if you apply the treatment on your own, it won’t be as perfect as at the salon.<\/p>\n
Let’s be honest, it’s difficult to do such a precise job on your own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, remember to blow-dry with heat after every hair wash so you can activate the product.<\/p>\n
This is an excellent way to extend the duration of the keratin treatment<\/a>. Go for it. You\u2019ll see that the treatment will still be there after you wash your hair again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" YOU MAY ALSO BE INTERESTED IN:\u00a0I had the keratin treatment, and I didn\u2019t like it.
