Thinking about getting a keratin treatment? Whether you're hoping to tame frizz, smooth out your curls, or just make your morning routine a little easier, keratin can be a game-changer. But before you book your appointment, it's important to understand what the treatment does—and how to care for your hair afterward to get the best results.

At Venelle Salon & Spa, we specialize in keratin treatments that are safe, effective, and tailored to your unique hair type. Here’s what you should know before (and after) you sit in our chair.

What is a Keratin Treatment, Exactly?

Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in your hair, skin, and nails. Over time, things like heat styling, coloring, and environmental stress can break down that protein, leaving hair dry, frizzy, or damaged.

A keratin treatment works by infusing your hair with this protein, sealing it into the strands using heat. The result? Smoother, shinier, stronger hair with reduced frizz and more manageability.

Is It Right for You?

Keratin is incredibly versatile. It works beautifully on:

• Wavy or curly hair that’s prone to frizz

• Color-treated or highlighted hair that needs strengthening

• Thick, coarse hair that’s hard to manage

• Even fine hair—when done with the right formula and technique

✨ Not sure if it’s the right fit? Schedule a consultation with one of our stylists at Venelle—we’ll assess your hair and recommend the best treatment plan for you.

What to Know Before Your Treatment

• Avoid heavy styling products in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Skip shampooing the day of—we’ll take care of the prep at the salon.

• Block off a couple hours—keratin treatments take time, but the results are worth it.

• Ask about formaldehyde-free options if you’re sensitive. At Venelle, we offer gentle, high-quality formulas for a safer experience.

Post-Treatment Care: Keep That Hair Looking Gorgeous

Once your hair is smooth and frizz-free, you’ll want to make it last! Here’s how:

💦 Wait before washing: Avoid shampooing your hair for at least 72 hours after the treatment (unless you’ve received an express version).
🛏️ Sleep smart: Use a silk pillowcase or wrap your hair to avoid creasing while you sleep.
🧴 Use sulfate-free products: Harsh detergents can strip the keratin. We carry salon-recommended shampoos and conditioners that are safe for treated hair.
🔥 Minimize heat styling: You won’t need it much, anyway—your hair will already be smoother and easier to manage!

Can You Still Wear Your Curls?

Absolutely! Keratin doesn’t mean pin-straight hair unless that’s the goal. Depending on your natural texture and the formula used, you can keep your waves or curls—just with way less frizz and a lot more shine.

When to Come Back

Most keratin treatments last about 3–5 months, depending on your hair type and how you care for it. We recommend a touch-up as soon as you start to notice more frizz returning or curl pattern shifting back.
