Don’t we all dream of having well-tamed and shiny hair? It could be a living nightmare to be constantly worrying about and fixing your stubborn strands that keep sticking out, no matter what you do. At some point, you’d start questioning yourself: Is there anything I can do to keep my hair straight, manageable, and sleek forever?
Well, not forever, but yes, there is definitely something you can do to leave behind your frizz for a month or so – there are two hair smoothening treatments you can choose from: Keratin Treatment or Rebonding. Don’t know the difference? No worries – we’ll be sharing with you everything you need to know about Keratin Treatments and Rebonding.
What’s The Difference Between Keratin Treatments And Rebonding?
We get it – Keratin Treatments and Rebonding both give the same result: Straight, frizz-free, shiny, and smooth hair… so what’s the point of choosing one over the other? Well, there are some differences between the two that you should take note of before choosing one! Here’s a cheat sheet for you:

What is a Keratin Treatment?
Our hair is naturally rich in keratin, which is a structural protein that provides strength and stability to each of our strands. So, thanks to our hair’s keratin, our hair becomes healthy and stable! But there are some things that could damage our hair’s keratin and weaken our strands – heat styling, hair bleaching, and bad hair habits, to name a few.
Luckily, you can get a Keratin Treatment – a chemical procedure that replenishes most, if not all, of the hair keratin you’ve lost for whatever reason! As this restorative treatment slowly, but surely, brings back the much-needed keratin onto your hair, your hair will end up looking and feeling stronger, shinier, and smoother – no more frizz, at least for a few months!
What is Rebonding?
Rebonding is a chemical treatment that alters the structure of your hair to give it a sleek and shiny look. Hairstylists use heat and chemicals to treat the hair, which would reconstruct your strands and hold your hair in a new shape. It definitely makes your hair frizz-free, more manageable, and much straighter!
Although you’ll be needing to get a hair retouch as soon as your hair grows out. The portion of your hair that hasn’t been rebonded may stand out from the rest of your treated hair because of its different texture.
Doing any of these hair smoothening treatments are no joke – it can be costly and time-consuming, so it’s better to consult with the experts!
