KERATIN TREATMENT     FAQ

Gold uses high quality authentic Brazilian Keratin Treatments.
Keratin is the primary protein found in hair, skin and nails and is a natural substance that aids in returning hair to a healthier, shiny, smooth state. Unlike other treatments and techniques, smoothing with Brazilian Keratin replenishes the hair’s condition without changing or damaging its molecular structure. It is suitable for all hair types and is particularly most effective on highly damaged hair.

 

Q. There are so many different keratin treatments in the market, what makes yours so special?

A.We have trialled and used many keratin formulations over the past 15 years and believe the current products we are using provide the optimal results expected of a Brazilian Keratin treatment.

 

Q. Is the Keratin Gold uses “formaldehyde-free”?

A.Our Brazilian Keratin products do not contain industrially manufactured raw formaldehyde.?Still, we choose not to promote our product as “formaldehyde free.” This is usually a disingenuous marketing ploy, and can be potentially harmful. Any Keratin formula that produces a major volume-reduction in the hair lasting months not days, is a potent salon chemical. It should be treated with serious respect, and handled only by using sensible safety protocols by licensed hair professionals.

 

Q. How long will a Brazilian Keratin smoothing treatment last?

A.Around 3 ~5 months, depending on hair type and condition. The longevity depends on several factors such as, condition of your hair, hair history, take home hair care regime, frequency of shampooing etc.

 

Q. Do Brazilian Keratin treatments work on hair extensions?

A.Yes, as always with hair extensions, care should be taken when using irons. The connection where the extensions are joined to the natural hair shouldn’t be ironed.

 

Q. Approximately how long does a Brazilian Keratin treatment take to do, what is involved?

A.Dependent upon the volume and length of hair, the treatment can take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours to finish. Firstly, the hair’s cuticle layer must be prepared, using an appropriate clarifying shampoo to remove impurities. The Keratin is applied and left on the hair to be processed for 25 to 50 minutes. Then the hair is thoroughly rinsed of the Keratin and a treatment mask is applied for 5 minutes, then rinsed out.
Next, the hair is blow-dried and then ironed with a professional ceramic iron to seal the Keratin and lock in the moisture, leaving the hair with the brilliant shine that Brazilian Keratin treatments are renowned for.

 

Q. How regularly can a QOD Brazilian Keratin Smoothing treatment be performed on the hair?

A.As often as desired as it is a conditioning treatment. If maximum volume reduction is what you are after, then multiple treatments will have a cumulative effect. Often clients request the service after a colour or other harsh processes in order to bring the hair back to a healthier state.

Q. How soon can you wash your hair or tie it back after a QOD Brazilian Keratin treatment?

A.Unlike Keratin treatments of the past, our BKT can be washed the very next day after your service.?If you don’t like the post service “flat ironed” look we can set your hair on large rollers or take a round brush and blow some volume into the roots immediately after it’s finished if you wish.
