What a keratin treatment actually does
Keratin smoothing treatments deposit smoothing actives that help realign the cuticle so hair reflects more light, resists puffing in humidity, and air-dries closer to polished than frazzled. It is not the same as a relaxer—expect smoother texture and easier styling, not permanent straightening unless your natural pattern is already very loose.
Keratin vs Brazilian Blowout at Salon Envy®
Both categories target frizz and cuticle smoothing with different formulas and processing styles. Your stylist chooses based on curl density, damage history, and how straight you want daily results to be. We prioritize integrity: if lightening or color correction should happen first, we say so clearly.
Pricing, timing, and maintenance
Keratin smoothing typically starts around $200+ and scales with length and thickness. Appointments commonly run a few hours including application, processing, and blow-dry finish. Sulfate-free shampoo, cooler water, and gentle heat habits extend results—especially during Texas summer.
