Best Places For A Keratin Treatment In Chicago

Among all Brazilian exports, from Giselle Bundchen and Samba to Caipirinhas and churrascaria, the hair-straightening blow-out may be the best. Essentially, a stylist paints a keratin protein solution onto your hair and seals it with a flat iron. Lasting around 12 weeks, the treatments repair previous damage, fight frizz, straighten hair and make you look as though you belong in a slow-motion shampoo commercial. Prices vary. Count on these Chicago spots for a healthy keratin treatment and emerge with smooth, shiny locks.
