Guava Latino Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatment at Elysium Hair Brisbane

This smoothing-only treatment is ideal for controlling frizz and achieving smoother, more manageable hair. It will not permanently straighten your hair and is not suitable for curly hair types seeking to maintain their curl pattern or achieve straightening results.

Important Considerations:

• Post-treatment: You won’t be able to wash your hair for 3 days following the treatment, and during this time, avoid hair ties, clips, or tucking behind the ears to prevent kinks or frizz.

• Your hair may appear slightly oily for the first 72 hours, so this is not an ideal treatment right before a major event.

• The treatment requires heat activation for best results, meaning you will still need to blow-dry or straighten your hair to smooth it.

Expected Longevity:

• Results last between 8-12 weeks. However, factors like hair condition, frequency of washing, and the products you use will affect longevity.

• Repeating the treatment every few months will improve the condition of your hair over time.

Hair Colour & Lightening Considerations:

• If you are planning on colouring your hair, particularly lightening it, we recommend doing this before your keratin treatment, as lightening services may shorten its lifespan.

• For permanent or semi-permanent colours, we advise waiting 4 days after your keratin treatment before colouring.

• The smoothing treatment may cause slight lightening or tone changes in your current hair colour.

Who Should Avoid This Service:

• Not suitable for curly hair, as it may alter the natural curl pattern without achieving straightening.

• Not suitable if you've used henna in your hair.

• You may wish to avoid this treatment if you are pregnant or trying to fall pregnant.

Aftercare:

• Use paraben and sulphate-free products to maintain results. Our team will prescribe the appropriate products for you to ensure the longevity of your treatment.

This treatment provides smooth, shiny, and healthy-looking hair, lasting up to 4 months depending on your hair type and aftercare routine. Please note that the service takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours for longer hair.
