Keratin Treatment in Mission, BC: Who It’s For + Aftercare That Works
The Quick Answer
"A Keratin treatment is a semi-permanent hair smoothing service that infuses hair with high-quality protein to eliminate frizz and reduce styling time by up to 50%. It is ideal for anyone in Mission with wavy, curly, or unruly hair."
How Keratin Works
Think of Keratin as a "top coat" for your hair. It fills in the porous gaps in your hair cuticle that cause frizz. This process is heat-activated, sealing the protein into the hair shaft for a finish that is incredibly shiny and soft.Is It Right For You?
Keratin is versatile. If you want to keep your curls but lose the frizz, we can customize the application. If you want a sleeker, straighter look, we can achieve that too. During your consultation in our Mission studio, we’ll assess your hair's health to ensure it's the right fit for you.The 72-Hour Rule
The post-treatment period is critical. For the first three days, you must avoid washing your hair or even putting it behind your ears. This allows the Keratin to fully set.Long-Term Aftercare
To get the most out of your investment (which can last up to 4-5 months in Mission), you must use sulfate-free shampoos. Sulfates are "strippers" that will wash your treatment right down the drain. We carry specialized Keratin-safe products in-salon to help you maintain that silkiness.The Mission Essential Checklist

Expert Insights
Q. How long does a Keratin treatment last?
With proper care, it lasts between 4 and 5 months.
Q. Can I color my hair after Keratin?
We recommend coloring your hair before the treatment or waiting at least 2 weeks after.
