Introduction
If your hair feels dull, frizzy, or weak, you might be wondering whether to go for a keratin treatment or a protein treatment.

Both sound similar, but they solve different problems. Knowing the difference can save your hair from unnecessary damage.

Keratin Treatment

• Best for: Frizzy, unmanageable hair.
• Benefits: Smooths hair cuticles, reduces frizz, makes styling easier.
• Longevity: Lasts 3–6 months.

Protein Treatment

• Best for: Weak, brittle, breaking hair.
• Benefits: Strengthens hair shaft, repairs damage from chemicals and heat.
• Longevity: Lasts 4–6 weeks depending on aftercare.

How to Know Which One You Need

• If your hair looks puffy, frizzy, and won’t stay sleek → Keratin.
• If your hair is snapping, shedding, or thin → Protein.

Pro Tip: Sometimes, your hair may need a hydration treatment after protein to restore balance.
