Chemical formula and heat work together to strengthen the hair shaft and lead to silky hair
- Stylists apply a keratin formula to hair and then seal it with a very hot flat-iron. The heat from the iron, along with other chemicals in the keratin formula, activates a smoothing effect.

Keratin Treatments: Microscopic Mane Maintenance
Learn
more about what’s going on beneath the surface of your strands during
this treatment with Groupon’s examination of keratin treatments.
Keratin
is the molecular building block of human beauty—without this fibrous
protein, humans wouldn’t have nails hard enough to polish, tooth enamel
sturdy enough to withstand weekly brushings, or hair lush enough to
style. Within each strand of hair, chains of keratin can be arranged in
different molecular patterns, and this variation is what gives each head
of hair its unique texture. For those who find their hair’s unique
texture a pain to deal with every morning, those keratin bonds can be
chemically rearranged with popular salon treatments from Brazilian
Blowout or Keratin Complex.
Stylists apply a keratin-rich
solution that finds its way into each hair’s second layer, where it can
chemically reprogram hair from an unruly, cigarette-smoking strand into a
well-behaved member of the scalp’s society. The heat of a flat-iron
straightens hair after the serum’s application so that as the keratin
molecules fuse to each strand, they’ll do so in the right position.
Methylene glycol or formalin—which release formaldehyde under
heat—typically function as the glue bonding the molecules during and
after treatment. The result of all this chemistry is a straighter and
smoother look that can last for two months or longer, and, although any
heat-based treatment can be taxing on hair, its fortifying effects tend
to leave hair glossier and more voluminous than other relaxers do. So
although frizz disappears, waves or loose curls can continue to cascade
across the shoulders.
