Wait at least 72 hours before washing your hair to allow the keratin to fully bond with the hair strands. This helps extend the treatment's effectiveness.

After the waiting period, opt for a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfates can strip the hair of the keratin, causing the treatment to fade more quickly.

Minimize the use of heat styling tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. If you must use them, apply a heat protectant to shield your hair.

Try to keep your hair dry when swimming in chlorinated pools, as chlorine can damage the keratin treatment. Use a swim cap or rinse your hair before swimming.

Use a wide-toothed comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle your hair gently. Avoid pulling or tugging, as this can lead to breakage.

A leave-in conditioner can help keep your hair moisturized and reduce frizz. Look for products specifically designed for keratin-treated hair.
