Is Keratin Safe On Natural Hair?

Since Hair Rules announced that it would no longer offer relaxers but continue to provide keratin treatments, we've had many questions on how safe keratin treatments are. Dickey explains the difference between traditional relaxers and non-formaldehyde keratin treatments, and what they do specifically to natural textures.

I only visited his salon once because I have relocated, but his products and guidance on cowashing and keeping my hair moisturized now has my hair longer and in better health than it has been my entire adult life. No more guesswork 😊
I am a forever fan ❤

0:36 about time someone stood up against that creamy crack.

[nichie]

can you please talk about detangling and popular detangling tools because that is when most people experience breakage?

1. Aren't relaxers akaline and not acid though?
2. Don't you have to use a LOT of heat to set the Keratin treatment initially?

I use the ion keratin treatment at least twice a year. It works for me and I feel like it's made my hair stronger

Just did my first keratin treatment last weekend. I'm loving the results so far. I did it at home with a formaldehyde free product, and did flat iron heat just to 410 F. I'm probably going to do it every 3-4 months. Not to silk press, other than when I apply it, but just to have smoother blowouts, which is how I normally wear my hair.

This is good to know. I did not know Keratin was an option.

Hello Dickey, I would like to ask a question as a new stylist.

Why do some hair textures get softer during a blow out, while others get harder? My educated guess is that this is a porosity issue, but I'm unsure.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Based on your years of knowledge and research, I trust your opinion! Pls keep videos like this coming!

Her hair came out perfect! I wish I could come to you.

The education you share is always intriguing and so true

It is my understanding that protein treatments are for damaged (or relaxed) hair.

My hair isn’t damaged and I do everything I can to keep it that way. However, many, many hair influencers with natural, undamaged hair *do* use protein treatments every 3-6 months or whatever. Why? It makes me wonder if I’m missing something.

Does everyone really *need* a protein treatment now and then?

Thanks so much for this. I was wondering if I can use a keratin treatment for my wash and go.

[yeyewata]

If I wash my hair after the treatment do my curls come back or does my hair stay straight for 3 months? What about sweating and humid wheather?

[itsthatgirlbee]

Can you use a keratin if you are a wash n go girlie?

[uni_world]

What about those who have thin hair? I have thin and soft hair.

Good on you for not offering relaxers 🤩
