How your protein treatment works

  1. Free consultation. We look at your hair, talk about the result you want and choose the right protein. We will also tell you your exact price.
  2. Preparation. Your hair is cleansed to remove any build up.
  3. Application. The protein is applied section by section from root to tip.
  4. Sealing. Your hair is blow dried and sealed with straighteners for a smooth, glossy finish.

Before your appointment

Please shampoo your hair three times, 48 hours before your appointment. Do not use conditioner, oil, hair treatments or masks for at least 5 days before.

Aftercare

Your hair can be washed the same day. Use the aftercare products we recommend, as they keep the treatment working and keep your six month guarantee valid. After each wash, blow dry your hair fully using a paddle brush. A little serum helps if your ends are dry.

Who should not have this treatment

Protein straightening may not be suitable if you have a scalp condition such as eczema or psoriasis, any irritation on the scalp, very sensitive skin around the eyes, if you use retinol or skin lightening creams near the hairline, or if you have reacted to bleach or lightening products before. We check all of this at your free consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Protein hair straightening is the newer name for what many people still call a keratin treatment. Some clients also know it as a Brazilian blow dry or smoothing treatment. At your consultation we explain which protein suits your hair best.

How much does a keratin treatment cost in Newcastle at Glamaholic?

Our protein treatments start from £150 for standard hair. The final price depends on the length and thickness of your hair, and we always confirm it at your free consultation before you book.

How long does it last?

Results last up to six months, and we guarantee this when you follow our aftercare and use the recommended products.
