Volume Preservation Techniques

The key to maintaining volume during a keratin treatment lies in understanding your hair's natural structure. Our expert stylists assess factors such as hair density, porosity, and natural curl pattern.

Professional Techniques

1. Strategic Application

We apply the keratin treatment more sparingly at the roots and crown area, focusing the strongest concentration on the mid-lengths and ends where frizz is most problematic.

2. Customized Processing Time

Different sections of your hair may require different processing times. We monitor each section carefully to achieve smoothness without over-processing.

3. Volume-Enhancing Blow-Dry

Our finishing technique uses specialized round brushes and directional blow-drying to lift the roots and create natural movement.
