Keratin at home!
​
Should I do keratin at home?
​
Keratin treatments have gained popularity in recent years as a way to achieve smooth, shiny, and frizz-free hair. While many people opt to have this treatment done at a salon, it is also possible to do it at home. However, it's important to note that not all keratin treatments are safe for at-home use.
​
If your keratin treatment contains formaldehyde, it can be dangerous to apply it at home by yourself. Formaldehyde can cause severe scalp irritation or even lead to bald patches. Additionally, the fumes released during the treatment are heavy and toxic and may set off your fire alarm. However, there are safe products on the market like L'Abrea Cosmetics Keratin, which is organic, vegan, and formaldehyde-free. They also offer at-home packages for your convenience. Click here

Once you have the right product, you'll need to use the right tools. A flat hot iron that reaches 220°C is necessary for the best results. Some of the best irons available in the market are Cloud9 and Glampulm. Using the right tools is essential to achieving the desired result.
​
It's worth noting that the process of doing keratin at home can be labor-intensive and requires skill and ability, especially when reaching the back of your head. Even if you do not miss a spot, it's not easy to correctly doing it during the ironing process. Therefore, if you're not confident in your ability to do it yourself, it's best to seek the help of a professional.
​
That being said, doing keratin at home can save you money. If you're interested in giving it a try, make sure you follow the instructions carefully and take all necessary precautions. It's also important to understand that at-home results may not be as good as those achieved by a professional, but they can still be satisfactory.
