It is generally recommended to avoid tying your hair for at least 24 hours after a keratin treatment. This allows the treatment to fully set and prevents any creases or marks from forming in your hair.
Here's why it's important:
- The treatment needs time to bond to your hair: Keratin treatments work by coating your hair strands with a protein-rich solution. This solution needs time to dry and solidify, forming a protective layer around your hair.
- Tying your hair can disrupt the process: Tying your hair too soon can cause the treatment to set unevenly, leading to creases or marks in your hair. This can affect the overall look and feel of your hair.
Instead of tying your hair, try these alternatives:
- Use a loose headband: This will keep your hair out of your face without putting any pressure on your hair strands.
- Let your hair air dry: This will allow the treatment to set naturally.
- Use a silk or satin scarf: This will prevent friction and breakage, helping to maintain the smooth and sleek results of the treatment.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your keratin treatment is successful and your hair looks its best.
