Best Keratin Treatment in Lucknow

Typically 3–5 months depending on your hair type, texture, and how well you follow after-care. In Lucknow's humid climate, it may last closer to 3 months without proper sulphate-free products.

Keratin works well on curly, wavy, frizzy, and coarse hair. It is suitable for both natural and chemically treated hair. A strand test at our salon determines if your hair is a good candidate.

No. Unlike rebonding or smoothening, keratin is a conditioning treatment that infuses protein back into the hair shaft. It actually strengthens hair over time when done with professional-grade products.

Use only sulphate-free and sodium chloride-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid heat styling for the first week. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and extend results.

Wait at least 72 hours (3 days) before your first wash. This allows the keratin to fully bond with your hair cuticles. Washing too early will strip the treatment and reduce its lifespan.

Use sulphate-free shampoo and keratin-safe conditioner only. Avoid products containing sodium chloride, alcohol-based serums, and harsh styling sprays. Ask our team for product recommendations at the salon.

Keratin is a semi-permanent conditioning treatment that reduces frizz while keeping natural movement and volume. Smoothening uses chemicals to flatten the hair structure for a straighter look. Keratin is gentler and more natural.

Rebonding permanently straightens hair using strong chemicals and heat, making it pin-straight with no curl pattern. Keratin smooths and softens hair while retaining natural texture and bounce. Keratin has less risk of damage.

Keratin treatment at AAINA Salon starts from ₹5,999. The final price depends on hair length, density, and the keratin product used. We provide a clear quote after consultation.

The process takes approximately 2–2.5 hours depending on hair length and thickness. This includes hair assessment, product application, heat sealing, and final styling.

Yes, but wait at least 2 weeks before colouring. Ideally, colour your hair before the keratin treatment for best results. Our experts can plan a combined treatment schedule for you.

We recommend consulting your doctor first. Some keratin formulas contain formaldehyde or similar compounds. At AAINA, we use low-formaldehyde and formaldehyde-free products, but medical clearance is advised.

Avoid swimming for at least 2 weeks. Chlorine in pools and salt in seawater can strip the keratin coating. If you must swim, wet your hair with fresh water first and use a leave-in conditioner as a protective barrier.

Every 3–5 months for most clients. If you maintain with sulphate-free products, you can stretch it to 5 months. Touch-ups are quicker and more affordable than the initial treatment.

Results are visible immediately after the treatment. Your hair will feel smoother, softer, and more manageable from day one. The full effect settles in after the first wash at the 72-hour mark.

Temporary side effects may include mild scalp sensitivity, dryness at the ends, or slight hair shedding in the first few days. These are rare and usually resolve on their own. Always follow after-care instructions.

Use sulphate-free products exclusively, avoid excessive heat styling, get regular trims every 6–8 weeks, and do a hair spa once a month. This keeps your keratin-treated hair healthy and extends the treatment life.
