How non-permanent or keratin straightening works
Non-permanent / Keratin hair straightening is a popular hair styling treatment that can give you smooth and sleek locks for months at a time. But how does it actually work? The key ingredient in this treatment is, of course, keratin smoothing.
Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in your hair, nails and skin. When applied to the hair, it penetrates the cortex, or inner layer, of the hair shaft. This helps to fill in gaps in the cuticle, which gives the hair a smoother and shinier appearance.
In addition, keratin treatments often contain other ingredients like oils and polymers that further help to protect and strengthen the hair.
When applied correctly, keratin treatments can leave you with shinier, healthier-looking hair that is easier to style.
Keratin/non-permanent straightening is a great introduction to permanent straightening. It is recommended for clients who are wanting to defrizz, who are wanting to quicken the styling process of their hair or who are unsure of making the big leap into permanent straightening.
The treatment works by infusing keratin into the hair shaft. Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in your hair, nails, and skin.
It helps to strengthen and protect your strands from damage. When your hair is exposed to heat, chemicals, or other stresses, the keratin can be depleted, leading to frizzy, dry, or brittle hair. The keratin treatment replenishes the keratin in your hair, helping to repair damage and prevent future damage.
The treatment can last anywhere from three to five months, depending on how often you wash your hair and how well you take care of it. If you want to extend the life of your treatment, you can use the prescribed sulphate-free shampoos and avoid swimming in both chlorine and salt water and ensure that you have been guided on how to maintain your colour.
Our chemical hair straightening treatment is formaldehyde-free
Most people are aware of the potential damage that chemicals can do to their hair. Formaldehyde, in particular, was a key ingredient for some time in the non-permanent straightening systems. It is a substance that is often found in hair straightening products and has been linked to health problems such as respiratory irritation and cancer. This type of straightening system has been banned in Australia and is not in any of the products that we use at Strut Hair and Beauty.
Our hair straightening treatment is completely formaldehyde-free, making it a safer option for those looking to achieve straight, smooth hair. In addition to being free of harmful chemicals, our treatment is also much gentler on the hair, leaving it feeling softer and smoother after just one application. So if you’re looking for a safe and effective way to straighten your hair, our non-permanent treatment is a perfect choice.
Permanent straightening technology
The permanent straightening rebonding technology is not new technology, but it has been developed and improved astronomically over the past years. This now new technology both protects and conditions the hair during the chemical process.
Permanent straightening is not for the light-hearted or one of those services you do on a whim. Permanent straightening is a big commitment, not one that can be reversed. At Strut Hair and Beauty, we discuss and explain the commitment around this service. For all of our clients who have chosen this path are very grateful and would not turn back. And, be prepared for a long day. This service generally takes 5 – 7hrs.
If you are looking for a better way to achieve straight, sleek hair, then look no further than the Permanent straightening rebonding technology used by our expert team at Strut Hair and Beauty.
CHEMICAL HAIR STRAIGHTENING
The permanent straightening process works by breaking the bonds that are curly and permanently reforming them to be straight. This involves several processes, where the hair is chemically softened, then moisture treated and a neutralising creme is used to reform the bonds permanently.
The neutralisation cream helps to close the bonds in your hair, giving you straighter, healthier-looking hair. This technology is revolutionising the way people straighten their hair and is quickly becoming the new standard for salon professionals.
Condition and integrity of the hair is our priority at Strut Hair and Beauty. Throughout this whole process, we apply several strengthening and moisture treatments to the hair to ensure that the condition of the hair is at its best.
At Strut Hair and Beauty, we will guide you through the preparation process for both services. This will include when to colour your hair before and after each service, what products should be used before and after the service to ensure the best results on the day, and to guide you on the maintenance and commitment of each service.
For perfectly straight, natural and safe hair, book a consultation or call the team at Strut Hair and Beauty on (07) 5443 5605.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is keratin straightening and how does it work?
Keratin straightening is a smoothing treatment that infuses hair with keratin, a protein naturally found in hair. The formula seals into the hair using heat, reducing frizz, softening texture and adding shine. It doesn’t permanently alter the hair’s structure but creates a more manageable, sleek finish that gradually fades over time with washing.
How long does keratin straightening last?
Keratin treatments typically last between 8 to 16 weeks, depending on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the products you use. Using sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner helps extend the results. Over time, the hair gradually returns to its original texture without a harsh grow-out line, making it a low-commitment smoothing option.
Can you colour your hair after a keratin treatment?
Yes, but timing matters. It’s usually best to colour your hair before a keratin treatment, as the smoothing process can slightly alter tone or fade freshly applied colour. If you need to colour after, wait at least 1–2 weeks to allow the keratin to fully set and always use colour-safe, sulphate-free products afterwards.
