Keratin Treatment Central Coast | Glow Beauty Space

Darling, if your hair has been fighting you every morning — the frizz, the flyaways, the humidity that undoes everything — a professional keratin treatment might be exactly what changes the game. At Glow Beauty Space, our trained hair stylists deliver keratin smoothing treatments that genuinely work, whether you're on the Central Coast at Wamberal or coming in from the Northern Beaches to our Narrabeen studio.

Keratin is a protein that makes up the structure of your hair. Heat, chemical processing, sun exposure, and general life all strip it away over time. A keratin treatment replenishes that protein, seals the cuticle, and reduces frizz from the inside out — not just with surface coating.

What to Expect

Your keratin treatment at Glow begins with a thorough consultation. Your stylist will assess your hair type, condition, and what result you're actually after — whether that's total smoothness or just taming volume while keeping some natural movement.

The process involves:

  • A clarifying shampoo to strip buildup and open the cuticle
  • Application of the keratin formula through each section of hair
  • A processing wait time (varies by product and hair type)
  • Blow-dry and flat iron at high heat to seal the treatment in

The heat-sealing step is what makes the result last. You'll leave the salon with noticeably smoother, shinier hair. Full results develop over the following 48–72 hours as the treatment fully sets.

Total appointment time is typically 2–3 hours depending on hair length and thickness.

Pricing

Keratin treatments are priced based on hair length and density:

  • Short to mid-length hair: from approximately $250–$350
  • Long or thick hair: from approximately $350–$500+

All pricing is confirmed at booking. Your stylist may recommend a colour or cut appointment in the same visit — just let us know when you book.

Who Is This Best For

Keratin treatments are a strong choice if you:

  • Have naturally frizzy, wavy, or coarse hair that resists straightening
  • Spend significant time blow-drying or flat-ironing daily
  • Live in a humid coastal environment (hello, Central Coast summers)
  • Have chemically treated hair that's become dry or porous
  • Want a lower-maintenance hair routine without permanently altering your texture

If your hair is heavily bleached or at high risk of breakage, your stylist will advise whether a keratin treatment is appropriate or whether a strengthening treatment is a better first step.

Aftercare

Getting the most out of your keratin treatment comes down to the first few days:

  • Avoid washing hair for 48–72 hours after treatment
  • Skip hair ties, clips, and headbands during the setting period — any indent will be permanent
  • Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to extend results (sulphates break down the treatment faster)
  • Avoid saltwater and chlorine where possible — if you swim, rinse immediately and apply a leave-in treatment
  • Results typically last 3–5 months depending on hair type, wash frequency, and product use

Your stylist will recommend specific products to maintain your treatment at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a keratin treatment different from a relaxer?

A relaxer permanently breaks the bonds in your hair to change its structure. A keratin treatment is temporary — it coats and smooths the existing structure rather than altering it. Your natural texture returns as the treatment grows out or washes out.

Can I get a keratin treatment if I colour my hair?

Yes, in most cases. Many people with coloured hair are excellent candidates. However, if your hair is significantly bleached or very fragile, your stylist may recommend a conditioning treatment first to build integrity before keratin.

Will my hair look completely straight?

That depends on the formula used and your natural texture. Some keratin treatments deliver a very straight result; others are designed to reduce frizz and add smoothness while preserving wave pattern. Your stylist will discuss what outcome is realistic for your hair during the consultation.

How soon can I colour my hair after a keratin treatment?

It's generally recommended to wait at least 2 weeks before colouring. If you're planning both, discuss timing with your stylist — often colour is done before keratin so the treatment can seal and protect the colour.

Does it smell during the treatment?

Some keratin formulas have a strong smell during the application and heat-sealing process, particularly formaldehyde-based products. At Glow, we use professional-grade formulas and ensure proper ventilation. If you have specific sensitivities, let us know when booking.
