Ask you stylist for more details on how to optimize the longevity of your Keratin Taming System
What brand of Keratin Taming System do you use?
We use GKhair Keratin Taming System (www.gkhair.com)
Is the Keratin Taming System formaldehyde free?
Yes, our Keratin Taming System is formaldehyde and aldehyde free.
Will the Keratin Taming System straighten my hair?
Our Keratin Taming System is not a hair straightener. It does not reform the hair like Chemical
Relaxers or Japanese Straigteners, it coats and bonds to the hair with pure Keratin Protein which not
only fixes damage but also reduces frizz dramatically and reduces your blow dry time by half. By
sealing the hair cuticle the Keratin Taming System will reduce the wave/curl of your hair but it will not
straighten your hair. The Keratin Taming System is not a permanent change to the hair, over time its
effects fade away and you natural hair texture will return.
How long does the treatment take in the salon?
Depending on the thickness and length of your hair, your Keratin Taming System will require
approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete.
What is your price for the Keratin Taming System?
Our price is $500 and up (depending on your hair thickness and length) for our Keratin Taming
System.
When can I get color/highlights?
We recommend that you either get you color/highlights the same day as your Keratin Taming System
or wait two weeks after your Keratin Taming System before getting color/highlights. This makes both
you Keratin and color/highlights last longer.
Is Keratin Healthy for my hair?
Yes, our Keratin Taming System actually improves the health of your hair. It is a keratin based hair
treatment that smoothes the hair. It can also help recondition the hair and restores shine. The
treatment does not alter the hair structure or damage the hair like Chemical Relaxer or Japanese
Straightener.
What does Keratin do to the hair?
Our Keratin Taming System bonds to the hair with pure protein Keratin, filling in damage and cracks
that come from stresses to the hair like coloring, highlighting, bleaching, blow drying, flat ironing,
wind, sun, etc. This make your hair more healthy, shiny, less frizzy, reduces your split ends and cuts
your blow dry time by half.
Why do I have to wait to wash my hair?
We recommend waiting so to allow the keratin to be sealed into the hair cuticle. If the hair is washed
immediately after the treatment, the keratin will wash out. We recommend to wait 48 hours.
What shampoo and conditioner should be used after the Keratin Hair Taming System?
It must be a Sulfate free and Sodium Chloride free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfate and Sodium
Chloride washes out the keratin faster. We recommend Smart Solution Shampoo (12oz. for $17.95)
and Conditioner (8oz. for $20.95)
Can styling products be used during the first 2 days?
No. Styling products can only be used after the first wash.
If I want to get my hair done again, do I have to redo the whole head or can I just have a touch up?
There are no touch ups with the Keratin Hair Taming System. You will get the treatment done again
from the roots to ends. Remember it repairs your hair more every time.
Can I get the treatment done while pregnant or nursing?
No.
Can I go swimming in a pool or sea?
Yes but sea water and chlorine reduce the life span of the treatment. Sea water, which is salt water
(and salt is Sodium Chloride), and chlorine can strip the keratin out of the hair quicker than normal
water. When swimming in a pool or ocean, it is recommended that you use a silicone based product
so that chlorine or salt water beads off your hair. Alternatively use conditioner or sunscreen.
What’s the difference between relaxers/Japanese straightening and the Keratin Hair Taming System?
The Keratin Hair Taming System is a keratin based hair treatment that smoothes the hair. It can also
help recondition the hair and restores shine. The treatment does not alter the hair structure. Relaxers
and Japanese straighteners work on breaking and rearranging the internal bonds of the hair. Once
these processes have been done the hair is permanently altered. The new growth of the Japanese
straightening will always be curly, but the previously straightened hair will never revert back to its
original state.
Can I get the treatment done on a monthly basis?
Yes you may have it as often as you would like.
