It’s highly recommended to arrange an initial consultation with each customer in order to determine their hair type, length and structure as the procedure time depends on the above-mentioned factors.  
  
But you should know for sure that the treatment is quite time-consuming and usually it takes 2-3 hours.  
  
So what exactly does a keratin treatment do? A keratin treatment is a hair-smoothing treatment that softens the texture of your hair and makes it look shiny and healthy. The process usually takes about 1-2 hours depending on hair type. First, they will wash your hair, apply the keratin product on your wet hair and blow-dry it into the hair. Finally, a hairdresser will proceed with flat ironing half inch subsections of hair in 3-12 passes. This stage takes the longest.  
  
After this your hair will be washed and dried again. As a result, you will get smooth and glossy hair. Should I get a keratin treatment? If your hair is thick and unruly and you want to make it more manageable and healthier, then we recommend you to get a keratin treatment. If your hair is straight and thin, it’s not advisable to get this procedure.
