Today, one of the most popular hair straightening methods is keratinization. And for this, most of the fair sex need to know the features of hair care after the procedure.

HOW DOES IT WORK

The  keratin contained in the product penetrates deep into the hair and envelops it around it. When exposed to high temperatures, keratin is sealed and creates a strong sheath for each hair, which protects it from external irritants.

Thanks to the special substances included in the composition, the hair acquires a glossy shine, smoothness and perfect evenness. The duration of the procedure is from 2 to 3 hours, after which the hair can be washed on the same day. The effect lasts for three months.
