Keratin hair straightening is a very popular product. These days you hear about it whenever someone is talking about hair. And with all the talk about this product you are probably wondering what all the hype is about. So below you will find a list of pros and cons to using this product. Use them to decide if it is the right product for you.

Let’s start off with the good stuff first. When you use keratin hair straightening you don’t have to worry about fizz. And as we all know, fizz is a serious problem. But with this product, your hair will be nice and silky. It will also be a lot more manageable.

And unlike other straightening products, this process is not permanent.  If your have curly or wavy hair, don’t worry, it will remain that way after the treatment.  And while its ok to go swimming with this treatment, you should stay away from chlorinated or salt water. Getting it in your hair can cause the treatment to wash out quicker.

Another pro to using keratin hair straightening is that it can work an all types of hair.  And if your hair is damaged it can help repair it. There is also no growing out phase. When a straightening is permanent your hair will go through a phase when it is trying to grow out.  This means while hair is growing out of your roots it will be growing out in its natural state. Since keratin on lasts a few months you don’t have to worry about that.

Now lets talk about the cons. While there are many wonderful things about this product there are always a few things that will make you take a step back. One of them is the price. Keratin treatment is not cheap. Depending on where you get it done, it can cost you as much as $500.

And while not being permanent can be a good thing, it can also be a bad thing.  Since the treatment is so expensive being that it is not permanent could mean you will be spending a lot of money. That’s a major drawback for some.  Another major drawback is that amount of time it takes to get the treatment done. It can take up to 5 hours to complete the treatment. For some that is way too much time to sit in a chair.
