What Exactly is a Keratin Tretament?

Think of Keratin as a "topcoat" for your hair. It’s a protein naturally found in your hair, but heat styling and environmental factors can deplete it, leading to porous, frizzy strands. Our professional treatment infuses the hair with a boost of keratin, sealing the cuticle and creating a protective shield that locks out moisture (and frizz)

Why Our Clients Love It

Cut Your Blow-Dry Time in Half: Imagine waking up and being "ready to go" with minimal effort.
The Ultimate Humidity Guard: Whether you’re heading to a workout or a rainy walk down West End Lane, your hair stays sleek.
Repairs and Protects: Unlike some harsh chemical straighteners, a Keratin treatment is designed to leave the hair feeling healthier and more manageable.
Versatility: You don't have to lose your volume. We can customize the treatment to keep your natural body while simply removing the "fuzz."

Quick Tip: Click on the beside the service to book.

A keratin treatment is a semi-permanent chemical process that smooths and shines frizzy hair. Think of it as a "top coat" for your hair that fills in the porous gaps of your strands with protein.

It isn't for everyone but we will do a full consultation with you prior to your service to ensure you make the right choice.

Q. Is it bad for my hair?

A. Keratin is naturally occurring substance and providing you don't abuse the treatment as it does contain other chemicals to activate the goodness and only go to salons who use professional products it should not damage the hair.

Q. Isn't Formaldehyde Illegal?

A. No. High levels of formaldehyde are potentially unsafe, however products containing up to 0.2% are legal in the UK and proven to be safe. If you are nervous, ask your stylist to show you the ingredient list on the product.

Q. Will It Make My Hair Flat?

A. Not necessarily. The products we use smooth rather than simply make the hair poker straight. We can use differing techniques depending on your desired goal and will discuss this fully with you prior to application.

Q. How Long Does It Last?

A. This depends on a few factors, not least, how often you wash your hair and the products you use. ALWAYS use a sulphate free shampoo, sulphates will strip the keratin quickly. We find most clients see the benefits for between from 4 - 6 months

Q. Will I Have Straight Lengths and Curly Roots as It Grows Out?

A. Your Keratin Treatment will fade over time as opposed to growing out in the way something like Japanese Straightening will. If your hair is extremely curly you may see a more noticeable regrowth but we offer a HAIRLINE service up to 8 weeks after your full service which will certainly help you manage the regrowth.

Q. Can I Colour My Hair with A Keratin Treatments?

A. This is something we get asked a lot. Yes you can colour your hair HOWEVER, we do not recommend that you do it on the same day and, as the treatment can lift your colour, we usually suggest that you do the Keratin treatment first them wait a few days before colouring.

We recommend that you discuss your requirements fully with your stylist before doing your Keratin Treatment to ensure you get the best outcome for your particular requirements and aftercare/maintenance.

You shouldn't do the treatment more than 3 times in any 12 months period, however can, if absolutely necessary, touch up your regrowth (NOT LENGTHS) up to 8 weeks after your previous visit.

Always use a sulphate free shampoo as sulphates will strip the keratin from you hair and your treatment will not last. We have shampoo in the salon and we recommend that you purchase some at the time of your appointment as we cannot guarantee the treatment if you are buying shampoo externally. You can use any other product i.e. conditioner, styling products etc without worrying that it will affect your treatment.

"I have been coming to Baykar for over a year now, but also my husband and our two children. They’re all wonderful professionals, I always come out so happy with my hair. But what I love is the kindness and warmth from Baykar and the team. I feel looked after every time we go. Today I met Connie and my level of loyalty has grown bigger. I can’t go anywhere else. Thank you so much! Look no further ❤️"
