What do you do when your hair just doesn’t behave in the way you want it to? The hair industry has come to the rescue, giving hairdressers a new product to work with—keratin treatments. Nicole Davenport of Peninsula in Beverly Hills says she has seen this new keratin treatment give remarkable results for curly or “fly-away” hair.
The treatment coats the hair shaft and thus gives fine, wispy hair more strength and makes the strands stay straight. It makes naturally curly, strong hair more controllable and also stay straight once it’s styled. The immediate results are very impressive: “It takes your breath away!” Nicole says.
The results can last from one-and-a-half months to five months with the first treatment. Coarse hair can need a second treatment in six weeks while on fine hair the results might last for five months. But each treatment lasts longer, and the hair gets healthier. The appointment for the application takes two or three hours, and the hair can’t be washed for three days afterward. Depending on where you live and how long your hair is the cost can be from $350 to $600. But Nicole says the results are worth the effort and the money; in fact she says, “If it’s your life dream to have shiny, straight, healthy hair, this is really the way to go.”
Harold Leighton describes this product as the hottest item among beauty editors this season. He recommends the product “Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy” by Coppola.
“You must have read about it in a magazine or seen a friend’s hair that has just had the service—do not be skeptical about the idea of having your hair smoothed out,” he says. A professional can smooth out your hair easily; then taking care of your hair at home after a salon service becomes simple. This service can last up to five months.
“For the record, my CPA had her hair smoothed last November and she is still enjoying the benefits in April! But don’t assume your hair will look the same as someone else’s. Remember, all heads of hair behave and react in different ways; no two heads are alike,” Leighton says.
The treatment should be applied, and after the first wash—in three days—you go back to your salon to have your haircut of choice. Leighton also mentions that Coppola has a product called “Infusion” that increases the longevity of the treatment. “No more worry that ‘my hair is going to break’ like it did so many years ago from chemical straighteners and relaxers. Work with your hairdresser and ask all the questions before you have any service done. It’s the best way to guarantee optimum results,” he adds.
Leighton sees this new keratin hair treatment as a wonderful development that will be around for a long time.
