Keratin Treatments

Goodbye fly a ways and bad hair days!
By: Don Stacy Patronelli

Keratin Treatments have been a worldwide hype in the salon industry, not to mention for women and men alike who suffer from downright unmanageable hair! So what's the big deal with them? Who's a good candidate for this service? Well, let's understand the what's and the how's of a typical keratin treatment:

Keratin is a family of fibrous structural proteins that is the key structural component of hair. In fact, healthy hair contains approximately 90% of keratin. Most Keratin treatments use nanomolecular keratin which penetrates and fills damaged parts of the hair. This revolutionary process gives you amazing and instant results that eliminate frizz, reduces curl, adds silkiness and shine, dramatically reduces styling time, and can even help heal damaged hair.

The formulas keep improving, and more and more treatments are coming into the market. With so many options around these days, how do you know which treatment to choose? Luckily at DsParada, we stick to our high standards and carry only the finest – and our talented stylists can use their expertise to decide which option will work the best for your hair type and lifestyle, so you can achieve the most optimal results!  Here is a breakdown of what we offer:

The Brand: Keratin Complex by Coppola

Keratin Complex has changed the beauty industry – starting with their signature smoothing therapy and continuing with a complete range of products and styling tools. Since their launch in 2007, Keratin Complex has led the way with innovative technology and amazing results. At DsParada, we are always looking to bring the best quality products and services to our clients, especially when it comes to using safe ingredients. So we are proud to offer Keratin Complex,  as it was the first OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliant Keratin treatment brand. What does this mean? A lot of smoothing treatments on the market release harmful gases, such as Formaldehyde.  OSHA is responsible for issuing workplace health and safety regulations and performed independent air safety tests on Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy. Results showed that exposure levels were 87% lower than the OSHA limit. Their treatments and products are specially formulated to contain natural keratin protein; which rebuilds, restores, and rejuvenates all types of hair. No wonder Keratin Complex is now the leading smoothing system in the world, and we are happy to provide it!

Breakdown:

The aftercare from receiving a keratin treatment is quick and painless. Do not wash your hair for at least 3 days (72 hours) after the service, and avoid putting your hair up, tucking behind your ears, head bands, bobby pins, and overall any moisture / wetness to your new hair. To preserve and extend your treatment, use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner following your 3 day no-wetness interval. Our stylists can help you pick out a Shampoo and Conditioner that would be perfect for your hair type and will work with your treatment, also.

All the treatments we provide can be used on previously colored and or bleached hair, and you can still continue your hair coloring routine at DsParada without worrying about further damage to your hair.

In summary, these treatments are a great investment to put into yourself- whether your hair is frizzy, curly, wavy, damaged, course - or all of the above, a keratin treatment can truly help you and your hair styling needs.
