Keratin treatments can be highly advantageous to those with frizzy and thick locks as they make styling time shorter and heat exposure reduced – all of which help improve hair health.

However, many keratin hair treatments contain formaldehyde which can be toxic when inhaled in high amounts. More modern formulas use glyoxylic acid-carbocysteine mixes that strengthen, repair and smooth without harmful side effects.

What is Mycro Keratin?

Keratin is a natural protein present in your hair that can be temporarily smoothed over to reduce frizz and make your locks appear healthier, lasting up to six months after treatment.

Keratin treatments can benefit all hair types, but are particularly useful for those with wavy or curly locks as it helps eliminate frizz while making managing it simpler and thickening your locks overall.

Keratin treatments are an effective way of protecting colored hair against fading, while also helping it dry more quickly, so as to minimize heat damage when styling.

Many keratin treatments contain formaldehyde, which can be harmful if inhaled. But stylists have recently begun offering formulations free of this ingredient; to find one near you ask your stylist if they use one and if not inquire if there are less damaging alternatives such as glyoxylic acid.

Benefits of Mycro Keratin

Keratin treatments can cut blow-dry time in half while simultaneously eliminating frizz for an effortless, sleek appearance. Curls and other textures become easier to manage without damaging hair. In addition, the treatment’s formula enhances shine while smoothing hair cuticles for improved color retention.

Keratin treatments differ from relaxers and perms in that they gradually wash away over time, meaning if you receive one in summer it should return back to its natural texture by fall.

Keratin treatments can be costly and time consuming to apply, often necessitating salon visits for application. Furthermore, formaldehyde-containing formulations could cause respiratory issues if inhaled; make sure that the salon you select uses low formaldehyde formulas for optimal results; at-home applications might even work provided the ingredients and instructions are read carefully – an “formaldehyde free” labeled product would be your best bet.

How Does Mycro Keratin Work?

Mycro Keratin is a semi-permanent chemical hair smoothing treatment that lasts six months or more, filling any depleted keratin gaps while coating each individual strand in protective layers, thus eliminating frizz and making hair more manageable while making frizzy locks shinier and shinier.

Your stylist will use a special shampoo that opens your pores so keratin can absorb, then apply treatment in small sections using new technology; stylists then use flat irons on each small section from 7-10 times, to close down the hair cuticles and lock keratin into each individual strand of your hair.

Keratin treatments should only be repeated every three to four months to avoid damaging your hair and potentially stripping away its protective qualities. In order to get optimal results from keratin treatments, it’s crucial that a skilled stylist understands how they will affect the type and texture of your hair, in addition to using shampoos free from sulfates that will extend its longevity.

Where Can I Get Mycro Keratin?

Style Bar salons across Canada provide Mycro Keratin treatments and products, providing in-salon smoothing services that only take 90 minutes to complete. Once done, hair will be blow dried and flat ironed for a sleek and shiny appearance; Mycro Keratin treatments may last for 4-6 months depending on how well they’re taken care of after treatments at home using its aftercare products.
