- We're in lockdown in Melbourne,
so, so nice to do my make up for nothing.
Well for this video, really for you guys,
am doing my make up for you guys.
Hello everyone I'm Hannah
and I'm the brand and content manager
here at Adore Beauty.
Welcome to my house.
I am filming remotely today because of actually,
I'm gonna show you the whole process
of getting Keratin treatment.
I am known around the office as Haggard
as if you've watched any of my hair videos, you would know.
I have very frizzy and unmanageable hair
and it's actually quite heat damage,
so the natural curl that I had when I was young,
has really been lost.
So I have decided to get a Keratin treatment
and the amazing team at Goldwell,
they have a Keratin treatment called Goldwell Kerasilk.
They organized for me to go to
Conrad Hair in Armadale, in Melbourne.
We're gonna head over to Goldwell.
I was filming there,
kind of takes you through the process of what happened
and then also there's a lot of home care
that you need to do once you get back from the hairdresser.
So I'll take you through the whole thing
so that you know everything
about getting a Keratin treatment.
So, first of all, what is a keratin treatment?
Basically keratin is like an essential protein
in your hair, nails, skin.
So a keratin treatment is not permanent.
It lasts for about three to five months
and you have to act
and you have to be using the right products
to make sure that it's gonna last.
The Keratin penetrates the hair follicle.
So what will happen is
the hair will appear more lashes, smoother
unlike chemical straightening,
which actually changes
like permanently changes the structure of your hair
by breaking down those bonds, keratin is like sucked up,
by like the poorest parts of your hair
so that you've got this like really smooth,
like luscious finish.
And so that will really help to tame
the frizzy that you're experiencing.
When I was younger,
I used to get chemical straightening done overseas.
So I've had it done like three times.
This was like 10 years ago at least.
Wait till I get there
chemical straightening down every single time I go overseas
is 'cause I land when I get off the plane,
my head just goes boof like Monica from,
but when she goes to Barbados like that is me
and what chemicals straightened does
is it actually breaks down the bonds in your hair
so that they straighten,
but it can permanently damage your hair,
so what I ended up with, was like this kind of reverse,
is it over reverse Mallish?
All of this was like gone.
So I wouldn't really recommend doing that,
if you are interested in getting
chemical straightening done,
I would suggest going to a reputable hairdresser
and asking whether it's suitable for your hair
but what we're here today to talk about
is keratin treatment.
I gonna show you, it really works.
You won't actually have dead straight hair,
but you'll have this like black I have,
it'll feel softer and smoother
and the best thing about it is that
it's so much more manageable to style.
Usually what happens for me is that I straighten my hair
and then the next morning it's like boof again,
whereas this is you straighten your hair,
go over each section once
and then the next morning you've still got
really straight hair.
The number one thing that you have to remember
is to not use any products with sulfates
because sulfates will basically ruin the Keratin treatment
and you'll have wasted all your time and money.
So on to how the actual treatment works,
you go into the salon and all you're actually
that they'll ask to see your hair prior,
so I sent some photos of my hair,
but you'll have probably a consultation
with your hairdresser to see what your hair is like,
you can't have dyed your hair within the last two weeks
and I'm gonna get to the issue with hair dye
and how it interacts with the Keratin treatment.
What happens when you get there is
they wash your hair first,
then they blow dry your hair,
then they add the Keratin treatment on each strand of hair.
Once they've done that, they will blow dry the hair again,
they will go over small sections with straightener,
like I think it was around seven times for each section.
So it does take quite a long time,
if you have thick hair like I do
and then once they've done that,
they leave it on for a little bit,
then you'll get it washed out.
they'll blow dry it and voila that's it.
Process for me to go out four hours,
depends what your hair's like,
but it could take as little as like two to three hours
and then I think some people may be there for
you know, five to six hours.
Oh my God I feel like a new woman who's so soft,
I'm a little bit sweaty because I've been sitting
under a hair dry, can you see?
But how fresh does that hair look?
Oh my God.
So my hair was so smooth, so beautiful
but the only issue was that
the Keratin treatment can strip the color from your hair.
So it's been five days since I had my Keratin treatment,
I didn't wash it in that time
so it was straightened,
so it was kind of hard to see exactly the results.
So now I get to see the result of the Keratin treatment.
This is my hair dry.
I knew it wasn't gonna be dead straight
but you can just see like the frizz,
it's really quite incredible.
Why have I gone like 31 years and not doing this?
Look the only thing that I'll say
is that it has stripped away some of my color,
which the hairdresser warned me about.
She said that it's because you've used a box dye,
it was like a casting cream,
so it was semipermanent color,
so she was like, it's probably gonna strip
some of that color, which it has.
Basically I was blonde like 18 months ago
and then I had to dye my hair back brown,
even though you know I really like my natural color,
which is the natural color in my roots
but what has happened is I had to keep dyeing my hair,
which is like this vicious cycle.
And I've been using a box dye at home
and the box dye lifts the color and then adds the color
and then what the keratin treatments
is like sucks that color back out,
so you're kind of left with my hair was like quite,
it looks quite orange, quite light
but the hairdresser gave me some amazing tips,
which I hadn't actually heard before.
So she suggested that I stop dying my hair altogether.
She's like your hair is a beautiful,
dark rich chocolate color,
you should just keep that and grow out the,
I guess all this color that has been lifted, grow that out.
Actually today it's looking good
because I've used two products in the last week
since I had the treatment.
Make sure that any product that you're using
does not have sulfate seriously.
So these two products that I've used.
So the first one is the Evo Fabuloso core Brown
color boosting treatment.
It's like a pigmented conditioning treatment.
So that's what it looks like.
What you do is you add that to tall dried hair
and then you leave it in I think for about three minutes,
then keep using that to kind of freshen up the color
when it starts to fade, so no more box dye
for me at this point I wanna get back to my natural color.
Although by the time I get back to my natural color,
I will probably be gray.
The other one that I recommend is
the Redken color extend brown light.
This is actually a blue turning conditioner.
It's super pigmented.
You've got to wear gloves with both of these
and what blue does is it neutralizes
those orange brassy tones.
These two products will really help
in between cell envisits.
What I would recommend is don't dye your hair,
get the Keratin treatment.
I think you wait two weeks
and then you can get your hair dyed.
Now onto at home,
I had the Goldwell Kerasilk treatment done
and what these products will do
will help to maintain the keratin
so you really get longevity out of the treatment.
You really only need the shampoo conditioner.
I've like kind of like the minimum
but I have a few other ones that I've been using.
So the kerasilk control shampoo,
additional other that's your shampoo conditioner
but I've also been using
this is the Kerasilk Intensive Smoothing mask.
Nease, seriously, like you can just see I'm like,
my hair has this like nice wave,
like if I was going to Thailand,
which let's be real I'm not anytime soon
I reckon if I was in Thailand,
I wouldn't even bother washing it.
I'd just be using this masks.
So that's the mask.
It's like a really intensive smoothing treatment.
I love this mask.
I'm actually gonna straighten my hair
to show you what happens with straightener.
I also will be using the Kerasilk protective oil afterwards
for like a really nice smooth finish
(soft music)
I have straightened my hair and it's so smooth.
It's unlike when I usually straighten it.
It doesn't kind of,
it doesn't get that kind of like nice silky,
smooth, straight, sleek look,
if I curl, I use the hot tools curl bar
particularly for curl,
I will add in a little bit of smoothing oil
and I'm using the Kerasilk, rich protective oil.
So I hope you enjoyed this video,
please like and subscribe and comment below
if you wanna see more videos like this
but we will see next time for some more ahead,
who is this is?
It's like a beauty risk taker, Hannah hair edition.
So in a few months when this is,
I think the next one is gonna be growing my hair long,
so much to do in our life time.
