IS GLOBAL KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?

 Absolutely perfect treatment for all women living in the Top End who are wanting to reduce the amount of time blow drying and styling their hair in a hot bathroom or bedroom before heading out the door! The treatment is ideal for anyone who struggles with frizzy, curly, difficult to manage hair and are looking for a low-maintenance hair solution.

WHAT IS KERATIN?

Keratin is a protein and major component in skin, hair and nails. Hair is mainly made up of keratin-associated proteins. The Keratin acts both as an external protective protein in the cuticle (outer layers of hair) and as an internal structural protein in the cortex (inner core of hair).

WHY DOES YOUR HAIR NEED KERATIN?

Keratin in hair is depleted when the hair is damaged physically, chemically or from external factors such as the sun, saltwater, chlorine, air conditioning and we cannot forget SWEAT, which is pretty hard to avoid here in the Top End. Keratin loss exposes the hair’s cortex and makes hair more susceptible to damage like dead and split ends and frizzing. Replenishing this lost keratin helps to restore the hair strands, making them smooth and whole again.

WHAT IS THE GK TREATMENT?

The hair taming treatment works by binding a liquid version of keratin combined with a chemical preservative to the hair, blow drying it into the hair, and then flat ironing the strand straight into position. This process helps prevent humidity from penetrating the hair and therefore locking out frizz. If your hair is super curly please be aware that a keratin treatment won’t completely straighten your hair, but it will soften the curls and make your hair easier to style and work with. Keratin treatment is a semi-permanent solution that will keep your hair smooth and more manageable for up to four months.

CAN THE GK TREATMENT BE DONE ON DAMAGED HAIR?                                                 

Yes, it can be applied on ANY previous chemical treatment, coloured, highlighted, bleached or virgin hair.

IS IT BEST TO APPLY THE GK TREATMENT BEFORE OR AFTER COLOURING?
For optimal results, colour/highlighting processes should be done before applying the GK treatment. We recommend waiting 2 weeks after the treatment application to apply colour/highlights.

 WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO WASH MY HAIR?
We recommend that you wait because it takes 48 hours for the keratin to form a stronger bond to the hair cortex. If hair is washed right after the treatment, some or most of the keratin may wash out and the results of the application will not last.

What you should avoid during the first 48 hours?
Do not wet hair, add moisture, or sweat. Do not tie hair up in pony tail, braids, use hair clips, bobby pins or wear a hat. Do not tuck hair behind the ears.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY HAIR GETS WET DURING THE FIRST 48 HOURS?
Blow dry the section of hair as soon as possible and/or use a flat iron to re-seal the cuticle.

HOW LONG DOES THE GK TREATMENT LAST?
The GK treatment will last about 3-5 months depending on the hair type and maintenance.
