What keratin is — and what it is not
A keratin treatment smooths and strengthens the hair fiber with keratin protein, sealed in with a flat iron. It removes frizz, adds shine and makes blow-drying faster, while keeping your natural texture softer — not pin-straight. It is not a chemical relaxer (it does not permanently change the hair's structure) and it is not a deep-conditioning treatment (those last days, keratin lasts months).
How it works, step by step
- Wash and prep — your hair is washed with a clarifying shampoo so the keratin can absorb evenly.
- Application — the keratin product is applied strand by strand.
- Processing — the product sits for the time your hair type needs.
- Heat sealing — the stylist blow-dries and flat-irons to seal the keratin into the fiber.
- Finish — you leave with smooth, shiny, frizz-free hair and aftercare instructions.

Not sure which one fits your hair? Book a visit and the stylist will assess your hair in person before you commit — the right choice depends on your hair's condition, not just its length.
Who it is for — and who should wait
Great for: frizzy, hard-to-style hair; hair that reacts to Miami humidity; anyone who blow-dries daily and wants that time back.
Wait or ask first: if your hair is severely damaged from bleach, a repair-first option like Hair Botox may be recommended before keratin. Your stylist will tell you honestly at the salon.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a keratin treatment cost in Miami?
At Hairdoctors, keratin costs $99 for short hair, $130 for medium-length hair and $150 for long hair. The price depends on hair length, not on the location — it is the same at all 6 Miami & Homestead salons.
How long does a keratin treatment last?
Results last about 3 months on average. Using sulfate-free shampoo and washing less often helps the treatment last as long as possible.
How long does the appointment take?
Plan for about 2 to 3 hours, depending on your hair's length and thickness. Medium and long hair take longer because the product is applied and sealed strand by strand.
Does keratin straighten my hair completely?
No. Keratin removes frizz and relaxes the hair so it dries smoother and straighter-looking, but it does not permanently straighten like a chemical relaxer. If you want maximum straightening power, ask about Emulsion Zero or Black Diva.
Can I get a keratin treatment on colored or bleached hair?
In most cases yes, and it often improves the look of colored hair. If the hair is heavily bleached or damaged, the stylist may recommend a repair treatment first — the assessment at the salon is free of pressure and honest.
Can I wash my hair right after a keratin treatment?
Yes — at Hairdoctors you can wash your hair immediately after your keratin treatment; there is no waiting period. Your stylist will give you the aftercare that fits your hair.
