It's generally not recommended to oil your hair immediately after a keratin treatment.
Why?
- Keratin treatment seals the hair cuticle: This creates a smooth, sleek surface that helps reduce frizz and improve manageability. Applying oil directly after can interfere with this sealing process, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Oil can weigh down hair: This can make hair appear limp and flat, negating the volume and bounce achieved by the keratin treatment.
- Oil can attract dirt and grime: This can lead to buildup on the hair, making it look dull and lifeless.
When Can I Oil My Hair After Keratin Treatment?
- Wait at least 3 days: This allows the keratin to fully bond to your hair.
- Use a lightweight oil: Choose a product specifically designed for treated hair.
- Apply sparingly: Avoid over-applying, as this can make your hair greasy.
Remember: It's always best to consult with your stylist for personalized advice regarding your specific hair type and treatment.
