This treatment is made by a professional for professional use only. Have this treatment carried out by someone qualified and trained in this process to ensure the best and safest results.

SILKATIN is expected to produce softer, straighter, smoother results for your hair. It helps to reduce frizz and fly aways leaving the hair relaxed and tamed. It helps minimise your styling time significantly. You can expect to simply walk out of the shower and dry your hair off for straighter smoother results.

All hair types vary with results, however, we guarantee straighter results with this treatment. It will leave your hair shinier and healthier with all the proteins and ingredients formulated in the product. It will help rejuvenate your hair shaft and repair damage.  

On average between 2 to 4 months; however we recommend treatments every 3 months to keep results consistent.

There are many contributing factors to the outcome of your results and the longevity of the treatment, such as the hair type and the use of the KYK Keratin Aftercare Kit. Factors that breakdown the treatment include: chlorine, salty water, bleach, excessive washing, paraben and sulphate products

As part of the process, the last step is to wash and condition the hair before seeing the results. Once the hair has been washed in the salon there is no waiting period before the next wash. 

NOTE: The less the hair is washed the more likely the treatment will hold for longer in the hair shaft.

Yes, once the treatment is washed in the salon and dried off, the hair can be tied and styled as desired.

Each hair type will vary with its results, but generally curling your hair with a straightener or curling tool is not a problem.

Yes it can be as there are no harmful chemicals or ingredients used in the formulation of this product. It does not produce harmful smoke or vapours during its process. It does not release bad odours or give teary eyes. 

There are no age restrictions as such and it can be done on children but it can be a lengthy process making it difficult for a child to sit patient for 3 to 4 hours depending on hair length. 

For the best possible results it is reccomended to use the KYK Keratin Home Care Kit. It involves Keratin Tamed and In-Control Shampoo, Conditioner and KYK Keratin Repair and Restore Hair Mask. These 3 products have been formulated to protect the hair strands from damaging external factors and to maintain the treatment for longer. 

The hair mask is to be used once a week or after being in contact with damaging external factors such as, salty water, excessive sun, chlorine or bleach. The mask works as a home care treatment between SILKATIN Treatments at the salon. The Home Care Kit will help rejuvenate the hair shaft, restore keratin and radiance back in the hairs cortex. 

Each product contains four Bioactive Complex Extracts: Emu Apple, Davidson Plum, Mountain Pepper Berry and Snowflower.

These are ENRICHED with Kaempferol and Quercetin to support the DEVELOPMENT and MAINTENANCE of hair, revitalising your hairs appearance whilst restoring lustre and sheen. Without the use of the KYK Keratin Aftercare Kit you compromise the integrity and longevity of the treatment.

It is important to assess the health of the hair before reapplying another treatment. To maintain the treatment it can be re-done as early as 8 weeks.

Yes, it can be used on both blonde and bleached hair. However, it is important to reduce the heat of the ironing tool down to 180-200° Celsius (356-392° Fahrenheit) when straightening the hair. This is also applicable for fragile and red hair. 

If the state of the hair is too damaged or broken it is not recommended to carry out this treatment. Also be aware that the colour of the blonde or bleached areas can possibly change due to the heat application step of the process. 

If you still have doubts, it is reccomended to perform a patch test to see what the results will be like.

NOTE: Bringing the temperature down may compromise the results of the keratin treatment. Make an educated decision with your client about choosing whether to compromise the results or hair colour.

Not on all occasions will this treatment change the shade of hair colour. If your hair colour lifts, or you notice a change in shade of colour, we recommend lowering the heat temperature to between 180-200° Celsius (356-392° Fahrenheit).

NOTE: Bringing the temperature down may compromise the results of the keratin treatment. Make an educated decision with your client about choosing whether to compromise the results or hair colour.

If the colour application does not involve bleach then it is recommended to colour before the treatment but keep in mind that there might be a slight change in the shade of colour by one tone after SILKATIN is completed. If you choose to colour your hair (without bleach) after the treatment then be mindful that the keratin may slightly break down as a result. If this happens; use the Keratin Repair and Restore Hair Mask as aftercare.It is best to always colour before keratin by atleast 4-6 weeks to allow your hair a resting period. 

Use ammonia free colours as this will help maintain the integrity of the treatment. If bleach is involved then it is recommended to do this before SILKATIN as it is a harsh chemical that strips the hair shaft and thus would break down the treatment significantly. If the treatment changes the tone of the colour and requires bleach afterwards then it is best to use a 20% bleach solution or a toner to help with fixing the colour. Wait a minimum of four weeks before applying any further chemicals to your hair to avoid compromising the integrity of your hair.

It is recommended to wait at least 14 days after your SILKATIN Treatment before colouring or bleaching your hair. The longer you wait to colour or bleach, the better. Be advised, the results of your keratin treatment can be compromised with the use of bleach as it breaks down the hair shaft and strips it. If essential, a 20% bleach solution, and the use of ammonia free colouring, is to be used to help with the longevity of SILKATIN. We recommend using the KYK Keratin Aftercare Kit to help with repairing damaged hair and allowing the hair shafts to hold the treatment for longer. The Keratin Repair and Restore Hair Mask is essential after colouring your hair and should be used the same day as the colour service. 

Note: It is at your own discretion if you choose to colour your hair before the recommended 4 weeks. Seek professional advise before doing so to ensure the safety of your hair; compromised hair should NOT be coloured.

SILKATIN can be done on all hair types from straight, wavy to very curly and coiled hair. However, it might not be the best suited treatment for those with very thin or fine hair. This treatment is a relaxer and will minimise frizz which is what helps add thickness to the hair strands and as a result will make the hair appear thinner and less voluminous. 

The process is slightly dofferent for those with very curly hair, instead of washing out (step 2) Silkatin Reconstruction 100%, it is recommended to wash it out only 80%.

SILKATIN is an oil based treatment which helps with leaving the hair softer and smoother. Ifthe treatment is applied incorrectly (directly on the scalp) this can cause irritation for some clients, may leave temporary flakes as a result and can result with slightly oily hair. If this happens to you the flakes and oil will go away as you wash and massage your scalp, with time.
