Keratin treatments are the fairy godmother of hair transformations—banishing frizz, taming unruly strands, and giving you that sleek, smooth finish you’ve always dreamed of. But let’s face it, these hair treatments aren’t exactly pocket-friendly. If you’re going to invest in a keratin treatment, you’ll want it to last as long as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled the 10 best hair tips to help you make your keratin treatment go the distance. So, grab your glass slipper and let’s dive in!

Swimming is great for your health, but not so much for your keratin-treated hair. Chlorine and saltwater are like double agents—ready to strip away your treatment’s smoothness and leave your hair feeling dull and rough.

If you can’t resist a swim, coat your hair with a leave-in conditioner or oil as a protective barrier. Better yet, rock a swim cap (a stylish one, of course).

Leaving your keratin-treated hair to air dry might sound harmless, but it can do more damage than good. Wet hair swells and frizzes, making your once-smooth hair look like a lion’s mane.

So, reach for your hairdryer and blow-dry your hair in a downward motion. Trust us, it’s worth the few extra minutes to keep your hair sleek and smooth.

Even if your keratin treatment promises zero downtime, it’s best to give it a little extra TLC by holding off on washing for 24-48 hours. This waiting period allows the treatment to settle into your hair, ensuring long-lasting smoothness and shine. Your hair will thank you for it!

Before you reach for that shampoo, apply a pre-shampoo treatment to protect your hair. This extra step helps shield your hair from being stripped of the keratin treatment’s active ingredients. It’s like an insurance policy for your hair’s smoothness!

Top Pick:
Epres Bond Repair Treatment—This pre-shampoo treatment not only seals and protects your hair from damage but also repairs it from deep within, making your keratin treatment last longer. Just spray it onto dry hair before you shampoo, leave it on for 10 minutes, and shampoo as per normal.

Skipping conditioner to save time is a big no-no! Conditioner keeps your hair hydrated, smooth, and protected. So, after every wash, remember to condition your hair from mid-lengths to ends. Your hair will be softer, shinier, and more manageable.

Keratin treatments are packed with proteins that strengthen your hair, but too much protein can cause it to feel hard and brittle. Alternate between protein-rich repair products and hydration-focused products weekly to keep your hair healthy and balanced.

Top Pick:
Use Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask on alternate weeks. This mask provides deep hydration without adding extra protein. Mix in a few drops of Moroccanoil Treatment for added smoothness and shine.

Scalp care shampoos are fantastic for a healthy scalp, but they tend to strip away keratin treatments faster than a bad habit. Give your hair some time to enjoy its new smooth texture before reintroducing scalp-focused products. Wait at least two weeks before using them again.

After washing and conditioning your hair, apply a leave-in moisturizer or serum on damp hair before blow-drying. This helps lock in moisture, protect your strands from heat, and keep your hair silky smooth. Think of it as sunscreen for your hair—protecting and enhancing its beauty daily.

Don’t let your hair go thirsty! Monthly in-salon moisturizing treatments are a fantastic way to give your keratin-treated hair the deep hydration it craves. These intensive treatments infuse moisture into your hair, keeping it soft, smooth, and resilient. Your stylist can customize the treatment to address any specific needs, such as dry ends or frizz control, ensuring your keratin treatment stays flawless for longer.

Why wait for your next salon visit when you can recreate that professional smoothness at home? Follow this 3-step routine recommended by Chez Vous and keep your hair looking like a million bucks:

Cleanse: Wet your hair and gently cleanse with Advante Duo Shampoo. Think of it as a reset button for your hair—wiping away dirt and build-up without stripping away your keratin treatment. Plus: it helps to repair your hair bonds too!

Repair: After squeezing out excess water, mist Epres Bond Repair Treatment onto your hair. This step is like giving your hair a much-needed “hug”—repairing any damage without making it stiff or crunchy. No need to rinse it off—let the goodness soak in!

Hydrate: Emulsify Advante Duo Treatment in your palms and apply it evenly. Use a gentle downward “combing” motion (not the “let’s rush through this” type!) and let it sit for 5 minutes. Your hair will thank you for this deep hydration boost. Then, rinse thoroughly.

Stick to this routine with every wash, and watch your hair go from just good to absolutely gorgeous—because your keratin-treated hair deserves nothing but the best!

To maintain flawless results, avoid bending your hair post-smoothing treatment—it could leave unwanted dents. Why take the risk?
