To take care of hair, we resort to many types of treatments. One of these is keratin treatment. This is such a treatment, which makes your hair more smooth, glossy and beautiful. Not only this, but it also makes your hair straight. It is considered a much better solution than hair straightening or smoothening.

There are many benefits of this semi-permanent keratin treatment and in many cases; it works wonders for your hair. However, keratin treatment has its own set of disadvantages or side effects. About which we do not know or ignore it. So, in this article today, we are telling you about some of the disadvantages caused by keratin treatment-

Expensive treatment

Getting a keratin treatment is not just a one-time process. When you get the keratin treatment done, you may have to spend a lot of money on it. Not only this, but after getting the keratin treatment done, it also costs a lot to maintain it. After keratin treatment, you have to buy separate shampoo and conditioner etc. to take better care of your hair and maintain its shine. All this costs you a lot of money.

Not good for hair health

Keratin treatments are not known to be good for the health of your hair. It just makes your hair straight and smooth, but sometimes it can also be harmful to your hair. Exposure to formaldehyde and high temperature damages your hair shaft. Therefore, once the keratin treatment wears off, it can leave your hair looking even duller.

Hair fall

You may not know, but keratin treatment can also be a reason for hair fall. Especially, if you go through keratin treatments frequently to keep your hair shiny. Generally, the effect of keratin treatment lasts only for three to four months. Due to this women often get keratin treatment done after every three or four months. But by doing this hair starts falling rapidly. So, if you want to avoid hair fall, then get it done only once a year.

Possibility of scalp irritation

Due to keratin treatment, the possibility of irritation in the scalp also increases. The scalp of some people is sensitive and in such a situation, you may have problems if you come in contact with chemicals. Especially, if you have a problem with hair colouring or dye etc. then you may have scalp irritation during keratin treatment.

There may be other problems

Keratin treatment can cause many other problems such as eye irritation, headache, cough, nausea, etc. If the formaldehyde formula is used during this time, then the possibility of these problems increases due to this. You can inhale or absorb it into the skin during a keratin treatment. Due to this the risk of a person having respiratory problems increases manifold.

So now before going for a keratin treatment, consider all its aspects and only then take any step forward.
