"Keratin treatment" - the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing these two words, write in the comment section below. I also want to know how my family sees and interprets these things.
Keratin treatment is the short form of Brazilian keratin treatment. In other words, we can call this Brazilian blowout because it was invented for the hair of Brazilians, whose hair texture is very thick and unmanageable.
In today’s global world, no matter what kind of hair texture you have. You can do the keratin treatment for them. You can achieve amazing softer, shiny, and bouncy hair for yourself.
In this article, I am going to share with you how you can do the keratin treatment at home and get amazing results.

What Is Keratin Treatment?
Our hair is made of a protein called keratin. It is found in different variations in the hair of different people. Read more about it here → At-Home Keratin Treatment | Preity Prerna
What Is The Need For Keratin Treatment?
Many times this protein shaft is broken down from the middle and you feel rough hair and when you touch it, it feels like a broom, and you can't make any hairstyle.
This is when people do keratin treatment. You normally would go to a parlour which will apply chemicals on their hair. For some time it will feel good, but in the long term, it will damage your hair. Parlour keratin treatment has many side effects.
So, what’s the solution?
Do this keratin treatment at home because it has no side effects. And it only requires ingredients.
You can do this multiple times and even modify it according to your needs and preferences. And you’ll get amazing results every time.
If you have low porosity hair, so you can do this once a month. If you have high porosity hair then you can do it only once in 15 days, not more than that.
How Is A Keratin Treatment Done?
In a salon keratin treatment is done in 4 steps: Head wash, blow dry, keratin protein cream application and ironing.
Head wash and blow dryer are still acceptable, but which cream is used for the application of keratin treatment has a very negative impact as compared to positive.
You feel that I am saying you don't have to do any kind of parlour treatment but believe me, I always tell you there is no need to believe me always. By yourself, listen and understand and then decide.
This cream releases formaldehyde which is a very harmful gas. After that, the ironing will happen to seal the protein, but if you do the heat application repeatedly, believe me, instead of getting amazing results, your hair will get lots of damage which can be permanent.
Here comes a positive interjection about our home remedies, which have no side effects.
There is no kind of liberation of any kind of harmful, toxic, and poisonous gas. It
should be high doses of protein, ultimately it's keratin treatment.
Natural Remedy:
Ingredients:
Substitute:
You can take coconut oil in place of olive oil. But olive oil will make hair smooth. It can penetrate deeply, it can go inside the shaft and provide softness.
Honey has no substitute. If you want, you can use glycerin but it is not an exact substitute for honey.
Many people are confused that honey makes hair white, it's a myth. Honey makes hydrogen peroxide after being oxidized, which is a bleaching agent, that's why everybody gets confused. Later on, when honey produces hydrogen peroxide, it is very little, it even can't bleach, hair is a long way off, so please don't bring any kind of negativity while doing the honey application, just focus on their softness and antioxidant, rest don't pay attention to anything else. |
Preparation
Step 1: We need the protein, so here I am taking 3 egg whites. If you haven't used eggs for the last 1 month, you can use whole eggs with no problem. If you don’t want to use eggs, you can take rice.
If you are using eggs, whisk them until the foam is created.
If you are taking a whole egg, so once you whisk it, it will become foam like a cream which we have to use here.
If you are taking rice, wash it properly and boil it. When the rice is cooked well, then strain the water and let it cool down, and you will use this as a base.
Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon of honey.
Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 4: Mix all these three things properly.
Application:
You have to do the application properly. If you fail to do so, then you won’t get the results.
For the application, neither your hair should be freshly washed nor should be dirty. That's why if you have done a head wash today then you can do the application tomorrow.
After that, you have to sort out your hair properly. I always say never work with tangled hair or else it will get tangled, and here our purpose is that the hair should become softer, shinier, and smoother.
Now, dampen your hair a little bit. If you want you can do it by your hand or if you have spray bottles then do it by that.
When the hair is a little bit wet, after that make the sections and apply this keratin cream starting from the scalp to the tips. Nothing will happen, there are no side effects, and you will get only the best result.
Apply this cream properly to your whole hair, after that tie your hair and wear a shower cap.
The purpose of the shower cap is that it won't let the hair dry, it will keep it wet, while that hair can take all the nutrition.
After 45 minutes you can do the normal shampoo, as you do always, and after that don't do the blow dryer.
You will sort hair by using a broad comb in the natural air, let it dry in normal air, sit down under the fan that is the most you can do, and let your hair dry.
