Extending The Straight Look With Keratin Treatment Shampoo And Conditioner

By Joanna Walsh


Many curly and wavy haired women and men are leaning towards the use of Keratin treatment for converting their hair temporarily to straight locks. If this hairstyle is to last long though, it must be treated well. This good treatment includes the use of keratin treatment shampoo and conditioner when hair washing becomes necessary. This is why many stylists are recommending that their clients include these hair care items in their collection after having the styling technique applied to their hair.

Straight hair Hair that has been achieved through the use of this modern hair straightening system is temporary and involves the use of a substance known as Keratin and applied heat to keep the hair straight. This substance is what makes up the human hair and fingernails. Manufacturers and Scientists source Keratin from natural resources such as wool.

This hair straightening system is a temporary one though and as such the new hairstyle requires special care if it is to be kept for a long time. One of the ways to extend the life of this hair treatment is to keep it out of water, especially pool or sea water. Water from these two sources will cause a quicker return of waves and curls since chlorine and salt eliminate the straightening solution. This is why hair that has been straightened through this method must be washed with plain water very soon after it has been immersed in these water bodies.

Shampoos and conditioners that are made for use on Keratin treated hair help to prevent a reversal of the straightening. One of the unique things about them is the fact that they do not contain sulfate. Sulfate is a popular shampoo ingredient that strips the hair strands. This stripping action may remove the keratin that has been infused into the hair and cause premature reversal of the treatment.

Another special feature of these hair cleansing products is the fact that sodium does not occur in the ingredient lists. Sodium acts as a thickener of the hair strand and, as such, defeats the purpose of this hair straightening system as the heat application effectively reduces the sizes of the strands. When the thickness of the strands is restored, the curls and waves are more likely to return prematurely. Additionally, the sodium will cause the straightening solution to dissolve, effectively undoing the style.

These hair care products are sulfate and sodium free but there is also another feature that makes them ideal for hair that is styled in this manner. This feature is the inclusion of Keratin on their ingredients list. This special ingredient helps the products to play a supportive role in maintaining the hair style.

It is important to look out for similar features in other hair care products as well. These include hair moisturizers, gels and sprays. The ones that do not include the stripping and thickening agents mentioned are best to help extend the life of the hairstyle. If they are free of style reversing agents and have the style maintaining and supporting ones then they are even better for these styles.

Keeping your recently straightened hair that way for a longer period requires the use of these hair care products. Be sure to look out for the right ingredients as you search the aisles for the products that you plan to use to enhance your new style. Using the right products will enhance your satisfaction as you will find that your hair stays more beautiful for longer.
