Struggling with unruly hair? You’re not alone in the fight for tameable locks! But, with so many straightening and damage repairing treatments on the market, it can often be difficult to find one that’s right for you.
For those who love hair as much as we do, you may have heard of our Nanokeratin and Olaplex treatments. While both treatments aim to nourish and revitalise your hair, they both have very different end goals for treating your tresses. In this article, our experts will be breaking down exactly how each treatment works, what hair sins they can remedy and the kinds of results you should expect.
What Is Nanokeratin And What Does It Do?
At Belle Amour, our specialist Nanokeratin treatment is formulated to help tame and reduce frizz in all hair types, from straight, wavy, curly, and coily. Also known as a Brazilian blowdry, our Nanokeratin straightening treatment is a semi-permanent solution to frizzy and unmanageable hair.
To carry out our premium quality Brazilian blowdry treatment, we work with Nanokeratin. This chemical-free solution targets the hair’s very structure, using biomimetic particles to close cuticles and lock in nutrients instead of just coating the surface of a strand. After your keratin blow dry is complete, your hair will be easier to style and maintain without the need for harmful heated tools.
Keratin is a protein naturally found in our hair, skin, and nails. Keratin contributes to the internal strength of certain cells. If your natural keratin levels are low, your hair may become dry, frizzy, easily damaged and dehydrated, making it dull and lifeless.
The Nanokeratin treatment can help restore our hair to a sleek and smooth condition. As a result, your hair will benefit from eliminated frizz and stay hydrated for up to six months. Our state-of-the-art Nanokeratin straightening formula tackles dehydration deep within the cuticle rather than coating its surface.
What Does Olaplex Do?
Olaplex is the only salon service that rebuilds, repairs, and restores broken hair bonds. For this reason, it is the perfect treatment for those whose hair has suffered from intense damage.
Every day our hair undergoes damage. Whether this damage is caused by chemical services such as perms or colouring, thermal damage from styling tools, or even physical damage from harsh brushing, this can all contribute to dry, frizzy locks.
Environmental factors like UV exposure, humidity and pollution can also negatively impact your hair. Olaplex is the only salon service that rebuilds, repairs, and restores broken hair bonds at a molecular level. Designed to work on all hair types and textures, Olaplex contains a special patented ingredient that seeks out broken hair bonds caused by heat, environmental and chemical stressors and repairs them. This special formulation makes Olplaex unlike any other hair care product available on the market.
Which Treatment Do I Choose?
While both treatments are extremely effective for improving the appearance of your hair, at their core, Nanokeratin and Olaplex are designed to tackle different hair concerns.
For those with dehydrated and frizzy hair, Nanokeratin offers the perfect solution. The treatment delivers a nourishing mix of specialist ingredients to help your hair become smoother, shiner and more manageable. This treatment will provide you with the perfect wash and go, low maintenance look, which lasts up to 12 weeks. In turn, this treatment will drastically reduce styling and blow drying time!
Alternatively, Olaplex works incredibly well for those suffering from extremely damaged hair. Its main treatment goal is to heal and repair broken disulphide bonds in the hair shaft, leaving you with strong, shiny, hydrated and smooth hair.
Choosing Nanokeratin or Olaplex At Belle Amour
When you visit Belle Amour, our friendly team of hair care professionals will sit down with you to discuss your hair’s condition and history. From there, we can make an expert, informed decision on which Olaplex or Nanokeratin treatment will best suit your damaged or frizzy hair.
Salon strength products are more powerful than those you find at home. So, gifting your locks with the occasional Olaplex No. 1. No. 2 or Nanokeratin treatment will have a much greater and faster impact on your hair.
However, for optimum hair health, we can advise you on treating your hair with Olaplex at home to complement your salon visits.
If you’re interested in finding out whether an Olaplex or Nanokeratin treatment is best for your damaged hair, get in touch with our team by calling 01276 423 113, and we’ll happily answer any of your questions.
