Delray Beach Hair Salon : Keratin

A keratin treatment smooths and strengthens the hair by replenishing the natural keratin protein that your strands lose over time due to styling, color, or environmental stress. It works by sealing the cuticle layer, which reduces frizz, enhances shine, and makes hair easier to manage. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, our keratin treatments are customized to soften waves, reduce volume, or add sleekness depending on your goals. The result is smoother, shinier, and more resilient hair that's less affected by humidity and requires less heat styling. Many of our guests say it's a game changer for their daily routine.

Results typically last between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the products you use at home. Sulfate-free and keratin-safe shampoos are highly recommended to extend the life of your treatment. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, we'll guide you through the right at-home care and provide a personalized maintenance plan. If you want to keep that smooth, frizz-free finish year-round, you can schedule regular keratin appointments every few months. Over time, your hair will become easier to manage with longer-lasting results.

Yes, in fact, keratin can help strengthen and restore the health of hair that's been color-treated or chemically processed. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, we use salon-grade, formaldehyde-free formulas that are safe for most hair types—including those that have been lightened or relaxed. The treatment can even enhance color vibrancy by sealing the cuticle and reducing porosity. Your stylist will assess your hair during the consultation to ensure it's the right service for you and provide any adjustments needed to protect and nourish your specific hair type.

Not necessarily—it depends on your hair's natural texture and the type of keratin treatment we use. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, our goal is not to remove your natural pattern unless that's what you want. Instead, we focus on softening and smoothing the texture so your waves or curls are more relaxed, shiny, and manageable. You'll still have body and movement, just with far less frizz and bulk. If you want a straighter look, we can adjust the technique and finish with a flat iron for a sleeker result.

Before your visit, avoid using heavy styling products or oils, and let your stylist know if you've recently had any chemical services. The treatment starts with a clarifying cleanse to remove buildup and prepare your hair for maximum absorption. Plan for about 2 to 3 hours in the salon depending on your hair's length and thickness. After the service, your stylist at Delray Beach Hair Salon will go over post-care instructions—usually avoiding shampoo for the first 48–72 hours—and recommend the best products to maintain your results.
