Keratin Complex Hair Treatment vs. Milbon Japanese Hair Straightening vs. Brazilian Blowout: Making the Right Choice for Your Hair

When it comes to achieving sleek, frizz-free locks, there are several popular hair treatments to consider, each with its own unique advantages and characteristics. In this blog post, we'll break down the differences between three highly sought-after treatments: Keratin Complex Hair Treatment, Milbon Japanese Hair Straightening, and Brazilian Blowout. Understanding their distinctions will help you make an informed choice for your hair's needs and your desired results.

 Keratin Complex Hair Treatment, often referred to simply as "keratin treatment," is designed to reduce frizz, improve manageability, and add shine to the hair. It's ideal for individuals who want to maintain their natural texture but struggle with frizz and unruly hair.|

What is Keratin?

Keratin, a naturally occurring protein present in skin, hair, and nails, serves a dual role as an external protective barrier and an internal structural component within human hair. The depletion of keratin occurs when hair undergoes physical or chemical damage, as well as exposure to environmental factors such as the sun.

The Results: The results of a keratin treatment typically last up to five months. The longevity of the keratin treatment depends on the amount of washes per week, the type of hair products used to maintain your look and the accumulation of external stressors like chlorinated water, salt water or heat styling tools.

Post Maintenance: Keratin treatments are relatively low-maintenance, after the mandatory 72 hour setting period.

If the hair is exposed to moisture you must blow dry and flat iron that section of your hair until the 72 hour wait period is over.
