Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The treatment is completely safe to use on coloured hair.  If you are having a tint, we suggest we carry out your keratin treatment a few days before you have your hair colour.  If we are adding highlights, we suggest you have the highlights before your keratin treatment.  Please chat to your hair smoothing stylist at Headfirst Salon in Leeds so we can recommend the best time for you to colour your hair.

Unlike many other hair smoothing and straightening treatments, you can get your hair wet straight after a Fabriq treatment if you wish. You can also tie your hair up in a ponytail if you wish (again, this is often not allowed with other hair straightening treatments).  Just go about your daily routine as per normal.

No, a hair smoothing treatment will not make your hair straight permanently. With the proper aftercare, your hair will remain smooth for up to 4 months. Hair smoothing treatments aren't just for making your hair straight. We can manage how straight your hair becomes, or maintain your natural curl pattern (just without frizz). The main point of a hair smoothing treatment is to make your hair soft, smooth and easier to manage.

Yes, your hair will be quicker to style and easier to manage after a keratin hair smoothing treatment at Headfirst Hairdressers in Leeds. Dry, damaged hair absorbs water and holds onto it which means it takes more time to dry. Hair smoothing treatments work to provide the hair with the proteins and amino acids it needs. This means less water will be held in the hair, making it faster to dry and style.

We can achieve the same results as a Brazilian Blow Dry but without the use of harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde.  Our Fabriq treatment relies on keratin protein which works into each hair strand to smooth the cuticles.

Our ultimate keratin treatment can give you frizz-free, smoother, easy-to-manage hair for up to 4 months.

Prices for a keratin treatment at Headfirst Salon in Leeds start at £150 for short hair, from £160 for medium hair, and from £170 for long hair.  Please book a consultation so we can give you a firm quote and what to expect.

This depends on what type of hair smoothing treatment you are having. If you have the ultimate treatment then you cannot have your hair cut at the same time you have the keratin treatment. This is because the length of time this service takes means we cannot cut your hair in this time. However, if you have the 30 day treatment, then we can cut your hair after we rinse out the treatment.

Yes, we can keep your curl pattern with a keratin hair smoothing treatment at Headfirst Hair Salon in Leeds. A hair smoothing treatment will benefit your curls as they will instantly be hydrated, revitalised and bouncy. Your hair will also be easier to manage and frizz-free! During your consultation, make sure to let your stylist know how much curl you would like to keep in your hair. We will then personalise the keratin treatment to suit your wants and needs.

Hair extensions can be used to make your hair appearance thicker and fuller. During a consultation, we will assess your hair to decide whether your hair is suitable for hair extensions.

How long your hair extensions will last will depend on how they are applied - for example, whether they are tape hair extensions, microbeads or wefts.
