The treatment is structured with hydrolyzed keratin, that is the chemically decomposed molecule in units compatible with the keratin structure of the hair.
Following the procedure, the hair stylist will be able to guarantee smooth and soft hair for two or three months.
The risk is that in the products used during the session there is a too high percentage of formaldehyde which causes damage to health and does not guarantee the desired result.
In the market there are different types of keratin treatments for professional hair, each of which is combined with the various types of hair and is more or less effective, which is why before receiving this treatment it is important to know any risks that can bring the results close to zero.
