Texturizer, Keratin Treatment & Shave Permanent in Stockholm

Keratin treatment, texturizer and relaxer all tame frizzy, hard-to-manage hair, but in different ways. A keratin treatment does not straighten your hair — it tames frizz and gives curly hair finer, more defined curls, while a relaxer is the method for a completely straight result. We carry out all three treatments at both of our salons, in Stockholm and in Uppsala.

Vanliga frågor

How do keratin treatment and permanent straightening work?

A keratin treatment adds strengthening proteins that seal the cuticle and tame frizz, without straightening the hair. Permanent straightening instead breaks down and rebuilds the bonds in the hair for a straight structure. Both are applied in sections and activated with heat to seal the result.

How do I care for the hair afterwards and how long does it last?

A keratin treatment washes out gradually and usually lasts three to five months, while permanent straightening gives a lasting result that then has to grow out from the roots. To make it last, use sulfate-free and deeply moisturizing products only.

How do these treatments differ from a hair mask?

Unlike a mask that only softens the hair temporarily, these treatments change the structure and surface of the hair for a lasting effect. Keratin focuses on removing frizz and caring for worn hair, while permanent straightening gives a more intense and lasting straight result for very curly hair.

Which treatment suits me?

A keratin treatment suits curly, wavy or frizzy hair if you want softer, more manageable hair with the curl kept - the curls often become finer and more defined. Permanent straightening suits you if you want a completely straight result. Both reduce the need for daily heat styling.

Is there a charge for the consultation?

No, the consultation is free of charge. We look at your hair and recommend the right treatment before you book.

Does a keratin treatment straighten the hair?

No. The hair does not come out poker straight - the treatment tames frizz and makes the hair easier to style, and curly hair often gets finer, more defined curls. If you want completely straight hair, choose permanent straightening.

How long does a keratin treatment need to develop?

20-30 minutes. On top of that come washing, blow drying and sealing with heat, so set aside time for the whole appointment.

Do the treatments work on colored hair?

Yes, keratin is often used precisely on colored and worn hair. We assess the condition of your hair at the consultation before recommending a treatment.

Can I do the keratin treatment at home?

We sell Cocochoco for home use - Original, Gold, Pure and Onyx. Pure gives off less fumes for a sensitive scalp, and Onyx is developed for dark and black hair.

Is a texturizer the same as permanent straightening?

No. A texturizer loosens a tight curl pattern so the hair becomes softer and easier to shape, while the curl remains. Permanent straightening gives a completely straight result.

Allt du behöver veta om Texturizer, Keratin Treatment & Shave Permanent in Stockholm

Keratin treatment, texturizer and permanent straightening
A professional treatment makes your hair easier to handle for months, with less need for a flat iron and blow dryer. We do all three treatments in Stockholm and Uppsala.

Keratin treatment
Keratin does not straighten the hair. The treatment tames frizz, seals the cuticle and makes the hair soft and shiny, but your natural texture remains. Curls often become finer and more defined. The result washes out gradually over three to five months.

Permanent straightening
If you want completely straight hair, permanent straightening is the right choice. It breaks down the bonds that create the curl and gives a lasting straight result on the treated lengths. The new growth is treated after a few months.

Texturizer
A texturizer loosens a very tight curl pattern so the hair becomes softer and easier to shape, while the curl remains.

Care
Use sulfate-free products, especially after keratin, since sulfates dissolve the treatment early. Give the hair plenty of moisture with a mask and a leave-in.
