The Holiday Dilemma: Should You Get a Keratin Treatment Before or After Your Trip?
If you struggle with frizz when the humidity hits, a Keratin Smoothing treatment is a lifesaver. It smooths the hair cuticle, cuts down your styling time, and adds incredible shine. But a question we get asked a lot at the salon is: Should I book my Keratin treatment before or after my holiday?
Here is our honest guide to help you decide what’s best for your hair:
Option A: Getting a Keratin Treatment BEFORE Your Holiday
The Pros: It creates a protective barrier on your hair, shielding it from chlorine, salt water, and UV damage. Plus, it makes holiday styling an absolute breeze-you can simply wash, go, and enjoy frizz-free hair in hot weather.
The Cons: Heavy exposure to chlorine and sea water can slightly shorten the lifespan of the treatment if you aren’t careful with your aftercare.
Our Top Tip: If you do this, always rinse your hair with fresh tap water before swimming so it absorbs less chlorine, and use a sulfate-free shampoo.
Option B: Getting a Keratin Treatment AFTER Your Holiday
The Pros: This is the ultimate rescue remedy. If the sun, sea, and pool water have left your hair feeling dry, brittle, and unruly, a post-holiday treatment resets your hair health and injects vital moisture back into the strands.
The Cons: You won’t get the frizz-control benefits while you are actually away on your trip.
