Difference Between Hair Smoothening And Natural Keratin

Have you ever felt like your hair is auditioning for the lead role in a horror movie? You know, the kind with frizz and dryness taking center stage? We get that you are stressing about the best hair care options and asking yourself, 'smoothening or natural keratin, which is right for me?' No worries! We have got this! 

In this blog, we will share everything you need to know about both treatments so you can confidently pick what works best for your hair. All you have to do is stay with us till the end!

What is hair smoothening?

Hair smoothening is a chemical treatment that changes the texture of the hair. It makes your locks smoother, shinier, and straighter while reducing frizz and giving a sleek look. It makes the hair more manageable and easy to style, especially if you have fine hair. It lasts about 3 to 6 months, depending on your hair type and hair care routine. 

What does it do to your hair in the long run?

While hair smoothening can temporarily reduce frizz and improve manageability over time, the chemicals lead to dryness and damage. Frequently repeating it can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it more prone to breakage. It can also cause scalp irritation for some people, leading to discomfort or itchiness.

Do you have curly or coarse hair? Then, you might not get that pin-straight look you are hoping for. You will also need touch-ups to keep that sleek look as your hair grows. Ensure you balance your wish for smooth hair with proper care to maintain its long-term health. Try using a hair shampoo with natural ingredients that nourish your scalp and keep your strands vibrant and healthy. 

What is keratin?

Keratin treatment replenishes the keratin protein in the hair and scalp. It smooths hair, reduces frizz, adds shine, and makes it more manageable while keeping its natural texture. This treatment is perfect for repairing and protecting hair from damage caused by the sun, chemicals, and pollution, leaving it stronger and more resistant to humidity and external damage. 

It lasts about 3 to 6 months, depending on your hair type and hair care routine. A sulfate-free shampoo and hair conditioner can help maintain the effects of the treatment and prevent premature fading.

The good stuff:

• Hair looks stronger, thicker, and healthy.
• Hair feels smooth while still having its natural texture.
• Enjoy well-moisturized and conditioned hair.
• Protects color-treated hair, helping it stay vibrant.
• It is perfect for all hair types and makes styling easy.

Little-known truths about keratin

Did you know your body produces keratin? It is true! Keratin is a protein that helps build and strengthen your hair, giving it structure and protection. When your keratin levels drop, your hair grows slowly, becomes brittle, and appears dull. The good news is that you can boost your natural keratin levels at home without stepping foot in a salon! Yes, you heard that right! 

The easiest way is by adding keratin-infused hair care products to your routine. Choosing a shampoo enriched with keratin is the best choice because it helps restore this protein, giving your hair back its strength and shine. These products work by soaking into the hair, smoothing the cuticle, and creating a protective barrier that keeps moisture locked in.

The natural way: milk or herbs

If you are worried about chemicals, opting for natural solutions is a great way to get smooth, frizz-free hair. And guess what? You have two great choices: milk and herbs!

If you love milk, Vilvah’s 100% pure Goat Milk Shampoo is ultra-hydrating and makes your hair soft and shiny. Plus, the pea protein in it helps manage frizz and flyaways. On the other hand, if herbs are more your style, our Herbal Shampoo blends neem, tea tree, rosemary, and black pepper to keep your hair naturally fresh, bouncy, and manageable.

Both shampoos contain hydrolyzed keratin, which nourishes your hair and minimizes breakage, helping to revive strands damaged by heat styling or chemicals. Best of all, our plant-based keratin is gentle enough for all hair types, even sensitive scalps! Want that extra shine and also keep frizz at bay? Just add a silicone-free hair serum to your hair care routine.
