Blame it on social media’s recent obsession with “glass hair” and “liquid hair,” but lately everyone has been chasing ultra-glossy, high-shine hair. If you’re a stylist with clients who have been coveting this trending look, Keratin Complex is definitely one professional haircare brand that needs to be on your radar.
For anyone unfamiliar with Keratin Complex, the brand is highly regarded as a global leader in keratin and an innovator in the hair smoothing industry. Among many other incredible innovations, they are responsible for creating the Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment, a first-of-its kind smoothing treatment that pioneered the way to achieving healthy, smooth, and frizz-free hair. Whether it’s enhancing curls, smoothing damaged hair, or eliminating frizz, Keratin Complex’s suite of keratin treatments, professional hair color, and at-home products are here to help stylists give their clients the beautiful, silky hair of their dreams.
The Importance of Keratin in Our Hair
A major component of hair, keratin is a structural and protective protein that is responsible for preventing breakage, frizz, and heat damage. Over time, hair loses its natural keratin due to various factors such as aging, chemical services, overuse of styling tools, and environmental stressors, like the sun. Once keratin depletes and hair becomes damaged, it needs help to get repaired and to boost its natural structure, which is why keratin treatments can be extremely beneficial.
As each of Keratin Complex’s products are powered by the brand’s proprietary Signature Keratin, they are able to repair damaged hair from the inside out, resulting in stronger, smoother, and healthier strands. Their groundbreaking technology binds keratin to hair, which helps to prevent humidity from penetrating the hair. By doing so, it ultimately locks out frizz, ensuring that the hair looks and feels much sleeker.
A Keratin Complex Treatment for Every Hair Texture
When it comes to their full portfolio of keratin smoothing treatments, Keratin Complex understands that there isn’t a “one size fits all approach.” Keeping in mind that everyone has a unique hair fabric, they have developed custom keratin treatments designed for different hair textures. Each treatment works to make hair healthier by eliminating frizz, repairing damage, increasing styling manageability, and restoring shine and softness, while addressing individual hair needs.
Below take a closer look at the custom keratin smoothing treatments that Keratin Complex has available to stylists:
- The Signature Smoother (NKST): This award-winning, signature smoothing solution delivers stronger, smoother, and more manageable hair for up to 5 months.
- Reparative Smoothing (NKSTB): Specifically designed for fine, fragile, damaged, or overprocessed hair types, this reparative treatment activates at a lower heat temperature, features additional conditioning agents, and delivers smoothing results that last up to 5 months.
- Express Smoothing (KCEXPRESS): As the fastest treatment in Keratin Complex’s portfolio, KCEXPRESS offers the benefits of a smoothing treatment for up to 6 weeks. It can be used as a 15-minute color locking add-on service to lock in color and smoothness or as a standalone one-hour service.
- Curly Keratin (KCTEXTURE): No heat is needed for the KCTEXTURE Curl Enhancing Keratin System. It preserves curl patterns while enhancing and defining wavy, curly, coily, and tight textures.
