Keratin treatment vs rebonding: which one is right for you?

The short answer

• Choose keratin if your hair is frizzy, dry or puffy but you still want some body and movement.
• Choose rebonding if your hair is wavy or curly and you want it straight and sleek every day.
• Not sure? Tell us how your hair behaves after washing and what you want to change, and we will advise.

How they differ

• Result: keratin gives smoother, shinier hair with less frizz; rebonding gives straight hair.
• How it works: keratin coats and smooths the hair surface; rebonding uses a chemical process to reshape the hair.
• How long it lasts: keratin results fade gradually; rebonded hair stays straight until it grows out, so only new regrowth needs redoing.
• Chemical history: hair that has been bleached or heavily coloured needs to be checked first, especially before rebonding.

Which one should you book?

If you like your hair’s natural shape and mainly want less frizz and quicker styling, start with keratin. Read more on our Hair Treatment page. If you want to change wavy or curly hair into straight hair, see rebonding on our Perm & Rebonding page. Either way, we check your hair before we start.
