9 Gentle Ways to Prevent Hair Fall After a Keratin Treatment

1. Stay Hydrated Inside & Out

Drinking plenty of water helps keep your hair shaft plump and resilient. Since water makes up part of your hair’s structure, staying hydrated is key to reducing breakage and encouraging healthy regrowth after a keratin treatment.

2. Nourish with a Balanced Diet

Feeding your hair from within works wonders. Nutrients like vitamin D, iron, biotin, zinc, niacin, and antioxidants help support healthy strands. Think eggs, leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and colorful fruits.

3. Avoid Brushing Wet Hair

Hair is most fragile when wet. Wait until it's fully dry before combing, and use a wide-tooth comb if needed to gently detangle without tugging or causing more shedding.

4. Prioritize Stress Relief

Stress can trigger (or worsen) hair fall. Caring for your mind is caring for your hair. Gentle movement, yoga, a warm bath, or a bedtime ritual—whatever calms you—can make a real difference.

5. Let Your Hair Take a Break

Be gentle, especially right after your treatment. Avoid returning to the salon for additional chemical styling or tight hairstyles too soon—your hair needs time to recover.

6. Ease Off the Chemicals

Gentle is best. Avoid harsh shampoos with sulfates or stripping ingredients. Opt for mild, sulfate-free cleansers that preserve moisture and shield fragile strands.

7. Nurture with Oils or Serums

A weekly ritual of massaging rosemary oil (mixed with a carrier like argan or almond oil) into the scalp can help soothe and support hair health. A lightweight serum can also help seal in moisture and shine as your hair heals.

8. Supplement Support (As Needed)

Supplements with biotin, zinc, iron, or vitamin B12 may gently support regrowth—but always check with a healthcare provider first before starting anything new.

9. Be Patient—Hair Can Rebound

If keratin treatments have weakened your hair’s internal bonds, growth may take time. Experts say hair can gradually recover strength over several months with tender care and proper nutrition.
