What Is Brazilian Keratin Treatment?

Brazilian Keratin Treatment, also known as BKT  is a hair treatment process which promises to change the way you care for your hair, forever. The Brazilian Keratin Treatment  can be performed on all types of chemically-treated hair (bleached, highlighted, coloured, permed, relaxed or previously straightened) as well as on natural hair.

Originally developed in Brazil where women are obsessed with perfection, this innovative treatment transforms the hair by using Keratin to penetrate the hair repairing internal damage and creating a protective layer preventing further damage. The results are smooth, silky and straight hair.

Depending on hair type and frequency of washing, results last between two and four months. You will immediately see the quality of your hair dramatically increased following the treatment.
