One of the questions we hear most at Dreamin’ is:
"What exactly is the KERASILK Treatment?"
Some people think it's a permanent straightening treatment.
Others believe it's simply a deep conditioning treatment.
The truth is, it's neither.
The KERASILK Keratin Treatment is a professional long-lasting smoothing treatment designed to leave hair smoother, shinier, softer, and significantly easier to manage for months—without permanently changing your natural hair texture.
Let's take a closer look at what it really does.
What Is the KERASILK Keratin Treatment?
KERASILK is a professional salon treatment that helps transform frizzy, unruly, or difficult-to-manage hair into smoother, healthier-looking hair.
Rather than permanently straightening the hair like a chemical relaxer, it improves manageability, reduces frizz, and creates a smoother hair surface that lasts for months.
The result is hair that feels softer, looks shinier, dries faster, and requires much less effort to style every day.
How Does It Work?
One of the most common questions is:
"What actually happens during the treatment?"
During the KERASILK service, a professional smoothing formula is carefully applied throughout the hair.
The treatment is then activated using controlled heat from a professional flat iron.
As heat is applied, the smoothing ingredients—including biomimetic silk technology—are sealed into the hair while helping create a new, smoother hair shape.
Rather than permanently breaking and rebuilding the hair's internal structure like chemical straightening, the treatment uses heat to reshape the hair into a smoother, more manageable form that gradually fades over time.
This is why the results can last for months while still allowing your natural hair texture to slowly return as the treatment wears off.
Is It a Permanent Straightening Treatment?
No.
Unlike Japanese permanent straightening or chemical relaxers, KERASILK does not permanently alter your natural hair texture.
Instead, it creates a long-lasting smoothing effect that gradually softens over time.
Your natural texture slowly returns as the treatment fades and new hair grows.
For most clients, results last up to five months, depending on your hair type, home care routine, and how frequently you wash your hair.
What Are the Benefits?
Many clients notice:
- Dramatically less frizz
- Smoother hair
- Increased shine
- Softer texture
- Easier blow-drying
- Faster styling
- Better humidity resistance
- Improved manageability
For many people, the biggest benefit is simply spending less time styling their hair every morning.
Who Is It Best For?
KERASILK is an excellent option for people with:
- Frizzy hair
- Wavy hair
- Thick hair
- Coarse hair
- Colour-treated hair
- Hair affected by humidity
- Hair that takes a long time to style
It is ideal for clients who want smoother, more manageable hair without permanently straightening it.
Is It Suitable for Blonde Hair?
Yes.
Blonde and bleached hair often becomes porous, dry, and difficult to manage.
The KERASILK Treatment can help reduce frizz, improve softness, and leave blonde hair looking smoother and shinier.
However, every head of hair is different.
At Dreamin’, we always assess the condition of your hair before recommending any professional treatment.
If your hair has significant damage from bleaching or chemical services, we may recommend repair-focused treatments before performing a smoothing treatment.
Is It Vegan?
Yes.
The latest KERASILK professional system features a 100% vegan formula, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients.
It is also certified by PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies programme, making it an excellent choice for clients seeking high-performance professional hair care with vegan-friendly ingredients.
How Long Does the Treatment Last?
With the correct home care routine, results can last up to five months.
Longevity depends on several factors, including:
- Hair type
- Hair condition
- Shampoo frequency
- Heat styling habits
- Home care products
- Swimming and environmental exposure
Using professional sulfate-free home care products can help extend the life of your treatment.
How Long Does the Appointment Take?
The KERASILK Treatment is a detailed professional service that cannot be rushed.
Every step is performed carefully to achieve the best possible result while protecting the condition of your hair.
As a general guide:
- Minimum appointment time: Approximately 3.5 hours
- Long, thick, or high-density hair: Up to 6 hours
The total treatment time depends on:
- Hair length
- Hair density
- Hair thickness
- Current hair condition
- Previous colour or chemical services
- Drying and styling time
Every head of hair is unique, so we allow plenty of time to complete the service properly.
At Dreamin’, quality always comes before speed.
We recommend allowing enough time on the day of your appointment so you can relax and enjoy the complete experience.
Is It Repairing My Hair?
This is an important distinction.
The KERASILK Treatment does not permanently repair damaged hair.
Hair is made of dead keratin cells and cannot biologically heal once it has been damaged.
Instead, the treatment improves the appearance, texture, and manageability of the hair by creating a smoother surface, reducing frizz, increasing shine, and helping protect the hair from everyday humidity and styling stress.
Think of it as enhancing and protecting your hair—not reversing existing damage.
Is the KERASILK Treatment Right for You?
If your hair feels difficult to control, becomes frizzy in humid weather, or takes too long to style every morning, the KERASILK Treatment may be the perfect solution.
At Dreamin’, we don't believe every client needs the same treatment.
Before recommending any smoothing service, we carefully assess:
- Your hair type
- Your hair's condition
- Previous chemical history
- Your lifestyle
- Your desired result
This allows us to personalise every treatment and recommend the option that's best for your hair.
Healthy Hair Starts with a Healthy Scalp
Beautiful hair begins with a healthy scalp, but maintaining the hair itself is equally important.
The KERASILK Treatment helps create smoother, shinier, and more manageable hair for months, while ongoing scalp care supports healthier hair from the roots.
At Dreamin’, our goal isn't simply to make your hair look beautiful when you leave the salon.
Our goal is to help you enjoy healthier, more manageable hair for months to come through professional techniques, personalised advice, and premium products.
Because healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp—and beautiful hair deserves professional care.
