Permanent Hair Straightening: Common Questions Answered
October 16, 2026 · Dominican Hairdresser Johanny
Is permanent straightening right for you? Here are answers to the questions we hear most.
How is it different from keratin?
Keratin smooths and reduces frizz, while permanent straightening changes the structure of the treated hair for a straighter result. New growth comes in with your natural texture.
Is it safe for my hair?
It depends on your hair's health and history. Hair that has been heavily colored or treated may not be a good candidate, which is why we always start with a consultation.
How do I care for it?
Use gentle, moisturizing products, avoid heavy heat and follow your stylist's guidance on washing and touch-ups.
