Before I was a keratin educator, I was a client. And the first time I experienced a truly professional keratin treatment, it changed everything about how I thought about hair — mine, and my clients’.
My Own Hair History
I’ve been natural, relaxed, transitioning, and every state in between. Like most women with textured hair, I spent years fighting my hair instead of working with it. The keratin treatment was the beginning of a ceasefire.
What Keratin Gave Me
Not straight hair — that’s the misconception. What keratin gave me was manageability. Time. Freedom. The ability to wake up, do minimal styling, and feel polished without the two-hour ordeal that had become my morning routine.
Why I Got Certified (Then Certified Again)
I became so passionate about the results I was seeing — on myself and on clients — that I pursued professional certification with Marcia Keratin and then with Global Keratin. I wanted to understand the science, the technique, and the best practices at the deepest level possible.
What I Know Now That I Didn’t Know Then
Not all keratin treatments are the same. Formula matters. Application technique matters. Processing time matters. The heat used in the flat iron step matters. This is why choosing a certified professional makes an enormous difference in your results and your hair health.
