The term *keratin treatment* is often synonymous with pin-straight hair in the minds of many. It was perhaps more so in years past, but the professional keratin services of today are a far more refined affair. These modern treatments are not intended to alter your appearance; they are an investment in making your hair as healthy as it can be.
Here at Salon Herdis, our philosophy is that you cannot have beautiful hair without first having healthy hair. We put a lot of stock in the professional work of Keratin Complex for that reason. No matter if your hair is straight, wavy, curly or has been color treated, we have a service on hand to fortify and smooth it while respecting its natural texture.
So if you have been under the impression that keratin is only for those after perfectly straight locks, consider looking at it from a different angle.
The Nature of a Keratin Treatment
Structurally, hair is composed of keratin, the protein that provides each strand with resilience and strength. But between heat styling, the sun, environmental factors and even the simple act of brushing, that protein can become depleted over time. You are left with hair that is rough and porous, and more likely to break.
A professional keratin treatment puts that back where it belongs. Using a proprietary mix of conditioning agents and keratin, we seal the cuticle to leave the hair shinier, smoother and better able to stand up to humidity. Chemical and heat services will eventually take their toll on the hair cuticle. Regular professional conditioning is what helps put the manageability back into your routine and masks the damage.
It Is Not Just About Going Straight
There is a common notion that keratin will do away with your curls. The truth is rather more appealing than that.
With the right Keratin service, your stylist can keep your natural movement in place while putting an end to frizz and improving the overall condition of the hair. Have some nice waves? All the better. Want to put less time in front of the blow dryer in the morning? Even better.
We like to say keratin works with your texture, not against it. Your hair will be softer and simpler to style but still have the character that is all its own. More often than not, our guests will tell you the difference is not so much in the mirror as it is in the way the hair feels.
Tailored to Your Hair Goals
Since no two heads of hair are alike, we provide a range of options at Salon Herdis.
Max Straight
If a sleek, polished look is what you are after with very little daily effort, Keratin Complex Max Straight is the answer. It offers long-term frizz control and takes down the curl and wave for the smoothest finish.
Personalized Blowout
Not everyone is in the market for straight hair. That is the appeal of the Personalized Blowout.
Your stylist will put together a result based on what you want to achieve, be it tamer texture or simply less frizz. In a way, it is custom haircare as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Curly Keratin
Textured hair requires its own kind of attention.
Rather than flatten out a curl, the Curly Keratin is meant to support it. It gives you definition and bounce while making the hair more predictable and pliable to style. It is not uncommon for our guests to say they have put in less effort to keep their curls fresh and diffused over the course of the week.
Keratin Express
For a quick pick me up, Keratin Express is the answer. In a shorter service time it imparts the same kind of smoothing and conditioning one would expect, with results good for several weeks. We consider it an ideal way to get acquainted with keratin if this is a first time for you, or for a seasonal reset prior to a holiday or some other occasion.
Color and Keratin in One Day?
We are frequently asked if one has to forgo healthy hair in order to have a great color job. The short answer is no.
With the professional services from Keratin Complex, your stylist can recommend that we do both on the day of your color appointment. You will be able to walk out of the salon with smoother, more manageable hair and a nice shine to boot. For those with demanding schedules – be they parents or working professionals – combining the two makes it far simpler to look after your hair.
Results Built for Your Lifestyle
A deep conditioning session may only see you through a couple of shampoos, but a proper home care routine will let the benefits of a professional keratin service run for weeks, in some cases months. Depending on what is called for by your haircare regimen, we are seeing results hold for as long as five months.
Our clients will tell you there is a marked difference:
- Softer texture and better manageability
- A good deal of shine
- Less frizz to contend with, even when the New England summer gets humid
- Quicker blow drys and styling
In fact, many remark that keratin is one of the few things at the salon that gives them some of their morning back.
Our Confidence in Keratin Complex
We do not bring just any brand into Salon Herdis; we are deliberate in our choices and look for partners who value performance and innovation. Keratin Complex has been at the forefront of smoothing treatments for over twenty years now, continually honing its formulas. Their systems are for the professional only, ensuring trained stylists can produce dependable work.
Our team is well versed in these methods so that what we do for you is never a matter of simply putting product on your head. It is a personalized approach to the long term health of your hair.
Healthy Hair Is Always in Style
There is no rule that says hair must be straight to be beautiful. It is about how vibrant and confident you feel. A keratin treatment does not change who you are, it merely takes away the impediments to enjoying your hair on a daily basis. You get the manageability and shine without fighting your natural texture.
If you have been mulling over a keratin treatment, now is as good a time as any. We are running a promotion for 20% off all Keratin Complex services here at Salon Herdis through August.
Come in and let us show you the difference. Whether it is a Max Straight, Curly Keratin, a Personalized Blowout or the Express, we will find what suits your goals and your life. After all, we think the best hair is not about being on trend, but in making an investment in something that lets your natural beauty come through every day.
