Imagine running your fingers through your hair; it feels smooth like silk. With the right care at a professional hair treatment salon, this is absolutely achievable.
By repairing damage, sealing in moisture, and protecting against daily stress, expert treatments can transform dull, frizzy strands into hair that shines with health and beauty.
But factors are holding you back from having that beautiful, silky hair.
Pollution, heat styling, and harsh chemicals slowly strip away hair’s natural strength, leaving it brittle and unmanageable.
While shampoos and conditioners on your bathroom shelf only work on the surface, salon keratin treatments go deeper, using advanced, science-based keratin treatments to give you the hair you’ve always wanted.
At Glemz Aesthetic Hair & Beauty Studio, our hair treatment experts understand your concerns and help you overcome them with our professional, science-backed keratin treatment in Laverton, VIC.
How long does the treatment last? What are the pros and cons? And who should avoid keratin treatment?
We’ll cover all these burning questions in this blog.
What is Keratin Treatment & Science behind it
Keratin is the protein your hair is made of, a key component to keep your hair smooth, strong and shiny.
Over time, heat, pollution, and harsh chemical-loaded shampoos/conditioners leave your hair weak and frizzy. A salon keratin treatment puts that protein back where it belongs.
Keratin-rich formula is applied and then sealed in with heat to repair, protect, and smooth every strand.
After treatment…
You get the hair that resists humidity, feels softer, and shines brighter. The results last for months if proper care is taken.
Pros & Cons Of Keratin Hair Treatment
Like any professional service, keratin hair treatment has its strengths and limitations. Knowing both helps you make an informed choice before going for hair treatment.
Pros:
- Smooths and tames frizz for a polished look
- Adds shine and a healthy appearance
- Makes hair easier to style and manage
- Protects hair from humidity
- Results can last several weeks to months
Cons:
- It can be costly compared to regular treatments
- Not suitable for all hair or scalp conditions
- Some formulas may contain strong chemicals (At Glemz, we use a balanced keratin formula)
- A professional application is essential for safety and results

How Long Does Keratin Treatment Last
In most cases, a keratin treatment at a hair salon lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine.
Using sulphate-free shampoos, avoiding excessive heat, and following your stylist’s maintenance tips can help extend its life.
The better you care for your hair post-treatment, the longer it will keep that salon-fresh shine and softness, making your investment worth every strand.
Post-treatment Care For Hair
Follow these tips to keep that smooth, silky, and glossy finish in hair after treatment:
- Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner
- Avoid washing hair for the first 48–72 hours
- Limit heat styling; always use a heat protectant
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction
- Protect hair from chlorine and saltwater with a swim cap or protective serum
- Schedule touch-ups or nourishing treatments as recommended by your stylist
Who Should Avoid Keratin Treatment?
While keratin treatments can give amazing results in the long run, the same treatment might not be for everyone. Consider skipping it if you fall into these categories:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women (due to possible chemical exposure)
- Individuals with extremely fine or fragile hair that may not handle heat well
- Those with certain scalp conditions or open wounds
- People sensitive or allergic to keratin treatment ingredients
- Anyone looking for a permanent straightening solution (keratin is temporary)
