Our at-home keratin treatment has the same effect and gives you the same outcome as the traditional keratin treatments done at the salons
The treatment is in all ways a safe alternative to traditional chemical-rich keratin treatments, as it is 100% formaldehyde-free, making it entirely safe to be performed at home. As the treatment doesn’t consist of any harsh chemicals the treatment doesn’t irritate your scalp and there is no need to use gloves when applying the treatment.
However, we do recommend checking the ingredients list to see if you are allergic to any of the natural ingredients included in the formula. Our product may react with some coloured fabrics, to avoid colour fading and stains on your beloved clothes, we recommend using an old towel for covering the shoulders during the treatment.
Typically similar treatments on the market utilize animal sourced keratin and strong chemicals as their active ingredients to achieve effective results.
As we believe that looking good should never compromise our health nor our furry friends we use only gentle, high quality ingredients and 100% vegan sourced keratin - without compromising the effectiveness of the treatment. Our own unique combination of 87% natural ingredients and a blend of amino acids is the hero of our exclusive VeratinTech™ technology.
VeratinTech™ technology is grounded on the acidic oxoacetamides synergy and utilizes keratin amino acids sourced from wheat and soy. The unique technology enables capillary realignment which results in natural smooth and shiny hair that lasts for up to three months - all this without damaging the hair.
1. After the application of the treatment, it absorbs to the hair cuticle - the topmost layer of the hair strand.
2. During the action time, treatment enters the second and thickest layer of the hair strand.
3. The acids modify the weak and reversible bonds between protein chains.
4. Amino acids of the vegan keratin creates new links between existing proteins and keratin is absorbed by the core of the hair strand.
5. The treatment is washed off when the viable links have been fixed. Some stronger bonds, such as ones damaged by bleaching, may not be fixed.
6. The heat of the iron seals the new bonds and the cuticle back down - making the hair de-frizzed and shiny.
7. Blow-drying with hot air after each wash makes the cuticles settle down again, which enables the hair to be smooth for up to three months.
8. Links between protein chains fade gradually with each hair wash. To seal them again, the treatment can be repeated every second month.
Straightening iron, blow dryer, hair clip, comb, shower, and towel.
The 100ml spray bottle is designed for 1-2 time application, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Remember that it is vital to apply a generous amount of solution so that your hair is completely saturated
It is a smoothing treatment and not a straightening one. While it de-frizzes and might make your curls appear more loose it won't straighten your hair.
On a technical level it differs from a straightening treatment by the chemistry behind it: Straightening treatments and perms use strong chemicals that affect the disulfide bonds to restructure the hair strands.
Our natural chemicals are effective on a different level and affects the weaker, modified bonds instead
The mechanism of permanent straightening leads to the breakage of the disulfide bridges while our technology only affects the weak and reversible bonds, hence doesn’t damage the hair.
It involves formation of cross-links with two or more polypeptide chains. Reversible reactions are created between the fibers and the carbonyl group of the glyoxylic acid.
The centers of the reactions of the fibers are the aminoacids that have particular free chemical groups containing sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen. In this context, the keratin amino acids can also react to create new links and to give new shapes of the hair.
Yes it is! However, please keep in mind that it will not repair bonds damaged by bleaching treatments. Also colored hair may be subject to fading in color when flat iron is applied on hair - especially if hair has been colored with semi permanent dye.
To avoid any fading of you colored hair we recommend passing the iron on a small section of hair and waiting until your hair cools. If you notice any fading, lower the temperature and test it until you no longer see any fading.
1. Section & spray. Divide clean, dry hair into sections and spray on each section until saturated. Usually, this means applying the entire bottle. More is more.
2. Comb through. Make sure treatment is evenly distributed and leave your hair open.
3. Let it act. Let those botanicals work their magic. 40 minutes for thinner hair; 60 for thicker hair.
4. Rinse thoroughly with only water.
5. Blow-dry with care until fully dry.
6. Straighten. Comb through thin sections (approx. 2cm wide) slowly and lock in the treatment with a styling iron set to 200°C*. For best results, pass the iron 6 times on each section until entirely straight.
*On colored hair, test a small section of hair and wait until your hair cools. If you notice any fading, lower the temperature
- Don’t wash your hair for 24 hours.
- Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioners. Like ours.
- Blow dry after every wash to reactivate the keratin. Ta-dah!
- Repeat the treatment after 2 months to keep it smooth.
It will only take 10 minutes to spray in the treatment after which you let it act for 40-60 minutes.
All in all the entire treatment process will take you only 1,5 to 2 hours and it will transform your frizzy and lifeless hair into silky-smooth which will last for up to three months.
The treatment works well to align even dry, porous, bleached hair but it may not fully restore the aggression already caused by previous chemical products. Please keep in mind that it will not repair bonds damaged by bleaching treatments.
The treatment itself does not cause any damage or sensitivity to the hair fibers. But, if the hair is already fragile due to excessive bleaching or/and heavy chemical products, it might appear dry after the treatment as the application process requires sealing the hair with a hot iron. If you have very damaged ends, we recommend avoiding passing the iron on the ends too excessively.
There are a few mistakes you should avoid:
- Not applying enough solution – Remember that your hair needs to be fully wet after spraying in the treatment
- Not letting it act long enough – Remember to let it act for one hour and not less than that
- Leaving the treatment to act for too long
- Not rinsing the treatment properly – Remember to wash the solution off entirely
- Straightening too thick sections of hair – Remember to take very tiny (2 cm wide) sections at a time
- Not going over each section of hair 6 times with the iron
Yes it is! However, please keep in mind that it will not repair bonds damaged by bleaching treatments. Also colored hair may be subject to fading in color when flat iron is applied on hair - especially if hair has been colored with semi permanent dye.
To avoid any fading of you colored hair we recommend passing the iron on a small section of hair and waiting until your hair cools. If you notice any fading, lower the temperature and test it until you no longer see any fading.
The result last for up to three months, yet we recommend repeating the treatment after two months so you will maintain the maximum shine and smoothness. This is why we offer you the subscription opportunity so that you will have the treatment delivered to you every second month - with a 20% discount.
Since launching our original keratin treatment in 2019 we have been spoiled with thousands of happy customers world wide. Regardless we always kept our eyes and ears open for possible improvements. Based on the feedback from our keratin treatment users we knew there was a clear points of improvement that we wanted our lab to solve with the original formula. It made porous hair smell unpleasant after the treatment when the hair was wet. This side-effect was gone usually by the 3rd wash and was something that only people with porous hair experienced. Given that this is a very common side-effect for most of the similar salon treatments on the market, we knew this wasn’t an easy one to solve - but we were ready for the challenge. The improved version of the original keratin treatment was launched in April 2022 and a trial group testing was performed. 97% didn’t experience any unpleasant smell after treatment. It is worth mentioning that 100% of the trial group participants had used our original keratin treatment in the past and 55% of them did experience an unpleasant smell in the hair when hair was wet following the original treatment.
Out of all the participants only one reported unpleasant smell - and she claimed that the smell was extremely mild and only after she rinsed off the treatment in the application process.. She did not experience the unpleasant smell on the next wash.
As we solved a very common problem associated with keratin treatments in general we knew we had discovered a breakthrough technology.

Yes, it does! Knowing how annoying it is when the shampoo doesn’t lather we made sure to optimize our shampoo to lather properly.
Though the conditioner has an effective smoothing effect we made sure to formulate it in a way that will not flatten your hair. It will not affect your natural volume and will remain voluminous but smooth.
The formulas don’t include any ingredients that aren’t safe while pregnant. The active ingredient in the keratin treatment is called glyoxylic acid which is absolutely safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
