How a keratin treatment at home works
A keratin treatment at home gives you the smoothing, frizz-free result of a salon treatment without the salon price. You wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo, apply the keratin section by section, blow-dry, then seal it with a flat iron. Our step-by-step guide walks you through every stage.

What's in the kit
- Clarifying (purifying) shampoo - cleans the hair deeply so the keratin can bond.
- Keratin treatment - formaldehyde-free, in 0%, 5% or 8% strength.
- Aftercare conditioner - keeps hair soft and helps the result last.
What you need at home
A blow dryer, a flat iron, a fine-tooth comb, hair clips, gloves and an application brush. Work in a well-ventilated room and follow the timing in your kit's instructions.
