How to take care of your hair after Keratin Therapy?
For the first 72 hours (3 days) after the treatment:
Do not wash your hair for 72 hours
Don’t bend or tie your hair in any ways
Do not cover your head with anything
Use hair straightener occasionally in the morning if your hair curls/ frizzes while sleeping
In case the hair gets wet or absorbs too much moisture, blow dry it quickly and straighten.
Follow this guide for the best results from your treatment.
Do not wash your hair until 3 days after treatment.
Each morning on waking blast dry & re-straighten hair.
If hair becomes wet or damp for any reason blowdry & re-straighten immediately.
On humid /damp days re-dry & straighten hair 2-3 times per day as the extra humidity will weaken the effect of the treatment (ONLY within the first 3 days after application).
Do not wear your hair up for the first 3 days as it will cause indentation marks in your hair. If any marks are caused by sleeping etc re-straighten immediately.
Do not apply any hair products within the 3 day settling period.
Hair colouring can be carried out 2 weeks after the treatment. (Bleach colours are best done 2 weeks before)
Use the shampoos & conditioners recommended by your stylist - incorrect products will remove the keratin blowdry.
Swimming, hot-tubs, saunas & using softened water will remove the treatment effects.
The treatment results & lifespan will depend on your aftercare & lifestyle.
The first treatment will be 70% + effective. It’s advisable to have a repeat treatment 10-12 weeks after the first Brazilian blowdry.
Over time your hair will return to its natural texture. Keratin blow-drys are not a perm & do not change your hair permanently.
It’s recommend to have a Cocochoco masque treatment with a cut & blowdry 6-8 weeks after treatment to enhance treatment results and care for your hair this masque can also be purchased for home use to enhance results and add shine & gloss.
Please ask me about any products - I can provide them all!
To wash your hair and prolong treatment effect you will need to use Cocochoco Professional sulphate free shampoo (Sulphate will wash out keratin from the hair very quickly). Wash your hair as often as you need. After every wash apply Cocochoco professional conditioner, this conditioner is sulphate-free (conditioners with sulphates will damage coating created by melting the keratin product). After washing, blow dry your hair for better effects. Try not to use invasive styling products that contain alcohol. In addition once a week you can use Cocochoco professional hair mask. It makes hair extra smooth, soft, shiny and healthy.
What is Keratin Smoothing Treatment? The Smoothing Therapy line consists of advanced, in-salon treatments that restore and restructure the hair by infusing a special blend of hydrolyzed keratin deep into the cuticle. The hydrolyzed keratin is bonded to the cuticle with heat from a flat iron to relax the hair’s subcuticle layer, resulting in renewed smoothness and shine.
How long does it take? Time should be determined on an individual basis. I recommend an initial consultation with each client to determine hair length, type and texture. As a general rule, please allow a 2-4 hour window for the Keratin Smoothing Treatment.
What results can be expected after the Keratin Smoothing Treatment? The hair will be more manageable and easy to style, and will be resistant to humidity. It will feel noticeably softer and silkier, with added life, shine. Keratin smoothing treatment promises from 70% up to 100% reduce in frizz and curls from the hair. Results on estimate lasting around 12-16 weeks. However everything depends of previous hair condition, how hair will react to the product and if proper aftercare is used (Cocochoco sulphate free shampoo and silicone free conditioner) Keratin treatment is first of all deeply nourishing and repair treatment, it doesn’t damage the hair. Keratin gives fantastic results of straighter, smoother, soft, shiny, healthy looking hair.
Can I colour/ highlight my hair after the treatment? Yes, safety you can colour your hair 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the treatment. For better results we recommend to bleach/ highlight hair 2 weeks before the treatment. And colour/dye the hair 2 weeks after the treatment.
Should my hair be cut before or after the treatment? We recommend that your hair be cut after the treatment, as the hair will have a smoother texture and will lie differently.

What should I do to maintain my treatment results? The best way to maintain your treatment result is with a couple of simple lifestyle adjustments – minimize hair’s exposure to chlorine and other harsh chemicals as well as sodium/sulfate found in the ocean, salt water pools, water softener and human perspiration. You can also maintain your treatment result with Using Cocochoco Professionals aftercare called "Ceramide". Ask me about any products.
