Get answers to common questions about Keratin Bond Install (Full).

Most full installations take between 2.5 to 4.5 hours depending on hair density and number of bonds. Your stylist will assess during consultation and provide a more accurate timing based on desired length and placement.

When applied and removed by our trained stylists, keratin bonds are safe and minimally damaging. Proper spacing, quality hair, and maintenance reduce stress on roots. Avoid DIY removal and schedule recommended maintenance to protect your natural hair's health.

Plan maintenance appointments every 6 to 8 weeks for tightening, repositioning, and small repairs. Depending on hair growth and lifestyle, some clients wait 8 to 12 weeks; your stylist will recommend an optimal schedule after assessing your hair.

Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, avoid oil-based products at the bond tips, brush gently with a loop brush, and tie hair loosely for sleep. Limit direct heat on bonds and attend recommended maintenance visits to preserve bond integrity and appearance.

Yes, with precautions. Rinse and shampoo promptly after swimming in chlorine or salt water, wear a swim cap when possible, and tie hair up for workouts. Use recommended products to moisturize and protect bonds, and schedule maintenance if you notice loosening.
