Do you need a Keratin smoothing treatment?

Of course, you do!

Keratin smoothing treatments can be an incredible way to give hair more manageability, shine, and overall health.

Keratin treatments….

What are they?

Who can benefit from them?

Why would I need one?

Let’s start with the science of Keratin…. what even is keratin?

Keratin is a protein and the major component in hair, skin, and nails; in fact, hair is mainly comprised of keratin-associated proteins. Keratin acts both as an external protective protein in the cuticle (the outer layers of a hair strand) and as an internal structural protein in the cortex (the inner core of the hair that helps determine its strength).

Damaged Hair

Keratin depletes when hair is damaged. Damage created physically from heat tools or improper brushing, chemically during color and texture services, and/or from environmental factors, such as the sun. This keratin loss exposes the hair’s cortex, leaving it vulnerable to additional damage, which can cause porous spots to develop. I like to describe this as potholes on a road. Replenishing lost keratin helps correct porosity and smooth the hair’s surface. It restores strength and elasticity—giving the hair a more youthful, healthy appearance.

At Vivid Salon we perform many different types of Keratin Treatments from Keratin Complex. We decide on the brands we like to represent in our salon for a multitude of reasons based on our salon values in education and overall hair health. Keratin Complex revolutionized the beauty industry in 2007 when a group of industry innovators discovered a new way to care for your hair by merging proven keratin science with cutting-edge technology. The innovative technology that Keratin Complex provides in their keratin treatments, binds keratin to the hair. This helps prevent humidity from penetrating the hair, thus locking out frizz. Who doesn’t love a frizz-free hair day, am I right????

At this point, you are probably wondering “Do I need a Keratin treatment?” Most of the time the answer is yes!! These treatments are not just for curly hair. Anyone who fights frizz has a hard time blow-drying their hair, or just wants to reduce curl can benefit! Each of the many different treatments offered increases manageability, repairs damage, and leaves the hair noticeably softer with a luminous shine!

How to Complete a Keratin Treatment from Start to Finish.

Vivid Salon offers different types of Keratin Treatments.

Express Blowout is an option that I like to start my guests with. This color-locking, speedy smoothing solution is an express service that delivers polished, more manageable hair with results that last up to 8 weeks. EBO takes 15 additional minutes for application when added to a color service or just 1 hour when used as a standalone service.

Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment is a longer-lasting version of the Express Blowout. Gives the same color-locking benefits while also providing more curl and frizz reduction for a longer time frame. Potentially up to 5 months.

Keratin Complex also provides many other types of treatments including Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde, Maximum Keratin Smoothing Treatment, and a Personalized Blowout System. They even have a Curl Enhancing treatment! Can you see why we love this brand?

Spring is the perfect time to schedule a treatment for yourself. Are you interested in experiencing a Keratin Treatment? Well you are in luck. Add on a Express Keratin Blowout treatment with any color service for half off. You heard that right….. HALF OFF!

Most of our clients love taking advantage of this offer, especially considering time is scarce for most of us busy career individuals or stay-at-home mommas who are trying to balance family life with our personal care. Adding an EBO to your color service takes additional 15-30 minutes depending on the density of the hair.

Not a color client (yet)? Don’t worry, these treatments aren’t just for individuals who receive color. Anyone can experience a keratin treatment!
