Taking care of your hair is essential to maximizing long-term results. In this article, we’ll share some maintenance and aftercare tips to help you maintain and prolong the benefits of your keratin treatment. Follow these recommendations, and you’ll be sure to keep your hair looking beautiful and revitalized.
1. Avoid hair products containing sulfates:
Sulfates, found in many conventional shampoos and conditioners, can strip your hair of its natural oils and alter the effects of your keratin treatment. Instead, opt for sulfate-free hair products, which gently cleanse without compromising the durability of your keratin treatment.
2. Use products without sodium chloride:
Sodium chloride, also known as salt, can have a negative effect on keratin-treated hair. Look for hair products that are free of sodium chloride, as it helps preserve the structure of the keratin and keeps your hair smooth and shiny.
3. Moisturize your hair regularly:
Even though your keratin treatment greatly improves the hydration of your hair, it is important to maintain this moisture. Use a hydrating hair mask once or twice a week to deeply nourish your hair. Choose products enriched with moisturizing ingredients such as argan oil, coconut oil or aloe vera.
4. Protect your hair from heat:
When using heat tools like hair straighteners or blow dryers, always use a heat protectant to prevent heat damage. Our Horus Hair brand products offer heat protectants that are specially formulated for keratin-treated hair. Apply generously before using any heat tools.
5. Avoid prolonged sea or pool bathing:
Chemicals in sea or pool water, such as chlorine, can alter the effects of the keratin treatment. If you plan on swimming, dampen your hair with clean water before and after, then use a sulfate-free conditioning conditioner to remove residue and moisturize your hair.
6. Don't wash your hair too frequently:
Frequent washing can gradually remove keratin from your hair. Try not to wash your hair more than two to three times a week. Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and gently massage your scalp to remove excess oil without removing keratin.
7. Avoid tight hairstyles:
Tight hairstyles, such as ponytails or tight braids, can put excess tension on your hair, which can lead to keratin breakage. Opt for looser styles and use gentle, metal-free hair accessories to avoid damaging your hair.
8. Do regular touch-ups:
To keep your hair smooth and healthy, consider regular keratin treatment touch-ups. Depending on your individual needs, this may be necessary every three to six months. Use our keratin product kit for easy and effective at-home touch-ups.
