Hair care tips after keratin treatment after three days
- Within 72 hours after the procedure, you can return to your usual hair care routine. To preserve the effect of keratin straightening for as long as possible, you should use sulphate-free shampoos. Compared to conventional products, they have a milder formula that cleanses the hair more delicately. These shampoos also help to preserve colour, reduce the risk of allergic reactions, and are made from environmentally friendly ingredients.
It's also important to use masks for care. They provide not only a visual effect, but also deeply care for the hair, remove dryness and make the strands shinier and softer.

A few additional recommendations for care of hair after keratin treatment
To ensure that straightened hair doesn’t lose its shine, elasticity and softness, it is recommended to go to the pool in a rubber protective cap. Minimise chlorine exposure to your curls. If you love the sea, you should also rinse your hair thoroughly afterwards to wash away any salt residue.
- You can dye your hair no earlier than two weeks after the procedure. Choose the colour according to the recommendations of your hairdresser.
- Do you like ponytails and other hairstyles? Use silk or satin elastic bands to avoid injuring the hair cuticle. But it's best to give preference to lose hair instead of tight buns or braids.
Remember to protect your hair from the sun and temperature changes. In hot weather, wear hats or panamas. You can also use sprays with UV filters. They protect against aggressive environmental factors and the harmful effects of sunlight. Wear hats in winter.
