Types of Keratin Treatments

1. Brazilian type salon treatments that deliver straighter hair that lasts for months and frequently use formaldehyde with average cost of $250

2. Formaldehyde free salon treatments are about the same price but not quite as effective or long lasting.

3. Salon Express Treatments — Less expensive than the Brazilian or standard formaldehyde free type treatments. Express treatments may or may not contain formaldehyde. They last for several weeks and cost on average $100-$300

4. At home keratin treatments, like Keratin Salon Direct, deliver salon quality results at a fraction of the price, without toxic chemicals. Average cost $49-87

5. Drug Store/Supermarket smoothing products temporarily reduce frizz, add shine and make hair more manageable lasting a couple of days to a month. Prices range from $29-80
