Keratin

Keratin makes up over 95% of human hair and, is the main ingredient in Keratin Hair Therapy This new revolutionary smoothing system infuses the Keratin deep into the hair cuticle eliminating up to ninety-five percent of frizz and curl from the hair, leaving the hair soft, shiny and luxurious.
The hair is more manageable and easier to maintain, reducing daily styling time. For many, this is truly a life changing experience!

To say Keratin is in a product you only need to have 2% keratin. We use Coppola Keratin because it has a large 40% Keratin pay-load - we have NOT found a higher payload.

Keratin is Hair Help: Keratin Hair Therapy: offers beautifully straight hair with damage control sealed in. Eliminating up to ninety-five percent of frizz and curl from the hair. This is accomplished by bonding Keratin from the treatment with the natural keratin already in you hair.

To bond with your hair the keratin must be the

the right size and
the right kind (there are 4 kinds of keratin)
in the right concentration (Coppola Keratin Treatment have a 40% or higher pay-load of keratin for your hair),
with the right amount of heat applied for the
the right amount of time.

Not to worry, the instructor in the review class I just monitored, confirmed Top Banana was the first and at one time, the only salon in Tucson to have this treatment. She discovered we hat the treatment when she first investigated Keratin Hair Therapy for one of her clients. So you can be assured we have been doing them for some time now.

Once applied in the salon, your hair treatment are easy to maintain, reinforce and time between treatments is easily extended, by you at home (see Keratin Infusion Therapy Replenisher). And... if for some unusual reason, you don't like it - the Keratin treatment can be removed by washing your hair with a high concentration of salt water. (Water softener levels of salt are are to low to worry about so you can shampoo & condition you hair in soft water.- We added this comment because we have been asked about water-softener water numerous times, and don't want you to worry about it if you have a water softener. Our clients confirm that shampooing with soft water does NOT hurt your treatment.)

A Keratin Hair Treatment will rejuvenate your hair, giving it the remarkable soft, silky feel that everyone is raving about. It's "skin care for your hair." And unlike other salon services, the more you treat your hair, (both in the salon ant at home) the healthier it becomes. With each treatment, the newly-bonded Keratin makes the hair:
• Softer & Silkier
• Straighter & Shinier
• Faster and easier to blow-dry - Reduces daily styling time
• Less maintenance - close to being "maintenance-free" because you just add Keratin Infusion and/or INTENSE Rx to freshly shampooed, damp towel dried hair, then dry and iron as usual. see Keratin Infusion Therapy Replenisher
