What happens during a Global Brazilian Keratin Treatment?
During a treatment the hair is first washed, with a clarifying shampoo, to open up the cuticles. Then the treatment is applied, which contains the Keratin. Then heat is applied through straightening irons. The heat seals the Keratin into the hair and so reduces the frizz
What does hair look like after it has been treated?
BKT makes the hair look shiny and healthier. Your hair will also feel softer. Keratin provides a lot of nutrients for the hair; hence it looks so good afterwards.
How long does GKT last?
The GK Treatment lasts up to two months, maybe longer if hair is washed infrequently. GKT is not permanent and it eventually washes out. The more the hair is washed, the quicker the keratin will be washed out.
I have very curly hair, will the BKT give me straight hair?
GKT is not a chemical straightner and will therefore reduce frizz and make you hair far more manageable. Your hair may become quite straight, but this depends on you hair type and other factors.
Is the Treatment a relaxer?
No. The BK treatment is a keratin based treatment that reduces frizz and revitalises hair aving it more manageable and easier to style

When is the best time to color my hair?
It is best to color hair before the treatment or to wait two weeks after the treatment.(i recomend ding color on same day then seal it with the KT)
Can the treatment be done on children?
We recommend children at 12 years of age and over.
What if I don’t like having straight hair or this treatment?
GKT can be washed out; it is not permanent like other chemical straighteners. GKT is NOT a hair reconstructor and will not cause damage to the hair.
Does it guarantee a straight result?
No, you may still have a wave but the frizz will be be reduced and your hair is much more manageable with the time required to style hair being considerably reduced.The more keratin build up on the hair the straighter the hair will get in time.
Can I wash my hair after the treatment?
No, only wash your hair after two days.
Why do I have to wait to wash my hair?
We recommend waiting so to allow the keratin to be sealed into the hair cuticle. If the hair is washed immediately after the treatment, the keratin will wash out.
If I want to get my hair done again, do I have to redo the whole head or can I just have a touch up?
There are no touch ups with the Global keratin treatment. You will get the treatment done again from the roots to ends. Remember it repairs your hair more every time.
What shampoo and conditioner should be used after the GK Treatment?
It must be a sodium chloride free shampoo and conditioner. Sodium chloride washes out the keratin faster. using the same company's Shampoo and conditioner is highly recomended as they formulate it to go in had with ther keratin product for longevity and integrity of the hair

Yes you may have it as often as you would like.
Can I cut my hair before the treatment?
We recommend cutting your hair after having the treatment done. can be done the same the day
Can styling products be used during the first 2 days?
Styling products can only be used after the first wash.
Can I go swimming in a pool or sea?
Yes but sea water and chlorine reduce the life span of the treatment. Sea water, which is salt water (and salt is Sodium Chloride), and chlorine can strip the keratin out of the hair quicker than normal water. When swimming in a pool or ocean, it is recommended that you use a silicone based product so that chlorine or salt water beads off your hair. Alternatively use conditioner or sunscreen.
What’s the difference between Reconstructora/Chemical straightening and the Global Keratin treatment?
The Global Keratin hair treatment is a keratin based hair treatment that smooths the hair. It can also help recondition the hair and restores shine. The treatment does not alter the hair structure. Reconstructors and other chemical straighteners work by breaking and rearranging the internal bonds of the hair (identified by the use of a neutralising mask).
Can I do the GK treatment at home?
No. The procedure involves a long and detailed hair straightening process using irons and driers. It takes over 2 hours, and this is not something somebody can “have ago at”. DIY is not recommended!
