Keratin Treatments in Abingdon
Keratin treatments rejuvenate and smooth the hair, drawing on keratin — a vital hair protein — to fortify, soften and revitalise it. By deeply infusing keratin into the hair cuticle, these treatments tame frizz, replace lost proteins and give the hair a healthier, glossier appearance.
As well as longer-lasting shine and manageability, keratin treatments noticeably reduce day-to-day styling effort.
If you’d rather take a gentler route — embracing your natural curls or wave while losing the frizz — our pHrizzy-o-therapy treatment may be the better fit.
What is a keratin treatment?
A keratin treatment is a hair-smoothing procedure designed to improve hair texture and manage frizz. A keratin-rich solution is applied to the hair and then sealed using heat. The process helps replenish lost keratin, leaving the hair smoother, shinier and more manageable.
Why is a keratin treatment different to anything else?
The difference is the keratin itself — a protein that’s naturally present in your hair. The treatment aims to restore and enhance the hair’s condition by infusing it with additional keratin, which smooths the cuticle and reduces frizz, without altering the hair’s natural structure.
Why are keratin treatments so popular?
They’re popular for their transformative effects — a versatile way to manage frizz and improve manageability. Keratin treatments suit a wide range of hair types and offer long-lasting smoothness and shine, while reducing your day-to-day styling time.
Why is my hair frizzing?
Frizz is typically caused by a lack of moisture: the outer layer of the hair becomes coarse and raised, which lets ambient moisture into the strand, causing it to swell. High humidity, frequent heat styling and harsh hair products are all common contributors.
What is the downside to a keratin treatment?
The notable downside is potential exposure to formaldehyde or related chemicals used in certain treatments — these can carry health risks. And some treatments aren’t suited to every hair type, and can cause damage if they aren’t performed or maintained correctly.
How much does a keratin treatment cost?
Cost varies with salon location, stylist expertise and hair length. In Abingdon, prices typically range from £150 to £250; in Oxford, costs can climb to roughly £500. For an accurate estimate based on your hair and the result you’re after, it’s worth consulting a professional stylist.
