What is Keratin Treatment?
Keratin is the natural protein your hair is made of. Heat, humidity, colouring and chemical treatments strip it away — leaving hair frizzy, dull and brittle. A keratin treatment replenishes this protein by coating each strand and sealing the cuticle with intense heat, restoring smoothness that lasts months.
Humidity-Proof
Specifically effective in Chennai's coastal climate. The sealed cuticle prevents moisture from entering the hair shaft — the root cause of frizz.
Formaldehyde-Free
Our keratin formula is 100% formaldehyde-free — safe for coloured, bleached and chemically treated hair, with no harsh fumes during treatment.
Lasts 3–5 Months
Unlike temporary serums or at-home treatments, a professional keratin at YLG gives you genuinely smooth, frizz-free hair for 3–5 months with proper aftercare.
Keratin vs Other Hair Treatments
Not all hair smoothing treatments are the same. Here's how keratin compares.
| Feature | Keratin Treatment | Rebonding / Straightening | Anti-Frizz Serum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | 3–5 months | Permanent (until cut) | 1–2 washes |
| Hair Damage | Very Low | High | None |
| Safe for Coloured? | Yes | Not recommended | Yes |
| Maintains Volume | Yes | No (flattens hair) | Yes |
| Frizz Reduction | Up to 95% | 100% straight | Temporary only |
| Humidity Resistance | Excellent | Good | Poor |
| Aftercare Needed | Sulphate-free shampoo | Extensive | None |
How Your Keratin Treatment Works
Hair Consultation
Your stylist assesses your hair type, porosity, previous chemical history and frizz pattern to select the right keratin formula and application technique.
Clarifying Wash
We deep-cleanse your hair with a clarifying shampoo (no conditioner) to remove build-up and open the cuticle for maximum keratin absorption.
Keratin Application
The keratin solution is applied section-by-section from root to tip, then left to penetrate for 20–40 minutes depending on hair thickness and porosity.
Heat Sealing
A high-heat flat iron (230°C) is used to permanently seal the keratin into the hair shaft, locking in the smoothness and protein bonds for lasting results.
Final Blow-Out
Your hair is blow-dried and styled into a sleek, glossy finish. You leave the salon with visibly smoother, shinier, frizz-free hair immediately.
Aftercare Briefing
Your stylist walks you through the 72-hour care window and provides specific product recommendations (sulphate-free shampoo) to maximise treatment longevity.
