If you're worried about frizzy hair or want to seal in your new color, a keratin smoothing treatment may be a solution. You may have heard variations of this treatment referred to as the Brazilian Blowout or Cezanne. In a matter of hours, this provides thorough smoothing and sealing that can last up to six months. If you’re considering getting this done, here’s a guide to what you need to know about it.

What Is the Keratin Smoothing Treatment?

Keratin is the same type of protein your hair is made of. Once applied to the hair, it penetrates porous areas in the shaft, smoothing out and sealing each individual strand. This makes the hair lie flatter and straighter.

The protein content of this treatment also gives hair a lustrous finish and silky feel for the smoothest, healthiest natural hair. It will tame frizz with results that last around three to six months. By sealing the shaft of the hair, keratin also locks in any dye, making your color stay brighter and last longer. This treatment is popular for those with a coarse hair texture who want to loosen or eliminate their natural curl.

What Will Happen During My Appointment?

When you arrive for your treatment, your hair will first be washed to remove any lingering oils and products coating the strands. Then the keratin product will be applied to your hair from the roots to the tips. Afterward, the specialist will dry your hair to help it absorb the formula. They may also use a flat iron to create a straight, silky appearance and seal in the keratin. The process may take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on your hair length and amount.
