Here's why keratin is the ultimate summer hair saviour
If you’ve ever spent a summer battling puffiness, dryness, or that stubborn halo of frizz, you’ll know that humidity doesn’t play nice with hair.
And while we love the sunshine, our strands often tell a different story. That’s where keratin comes in.
This blog will unpack exactly why keratin treatments have become a summer staple. We’ll explain how heat and humidity wreak havoc on hair texture and how professional, salon-grade keratin treatments can help restore smoothness, reduce frizz, and simplify your styling routine without sacrificing volume or movement.
We’ll also break down the difference between the two treatments so you can understand which one’s right for you.
So if you’ve been wondering whether a keratin treatment is worth it, read on.
Summer struggles and why your hair needs help
Summer humidity causes water molecules to enter the hair shaft, disrupting its natural structure. That puffiness? That dryness? That "can’t-be-tamed" texture? It all comes down to moisture overload and a lifted cuticle that won’t stay flat.
Whether your hair is thick or fine, curly or straight, chances are you’ve had at least one day this season where it wouldn’t cooperate.
And when you’re juggling beach plans, workdays, travel, or nights out, spending ages with heat tools every morning just isn’t the vibe.
That’s where keratin swoops in and saves the day.
What exactly does keratin do?
Keratin is a protein that naturally occurs in your hair, but sun, heat styling, colour, and environmental stress can wear it down over time.
A keratin treatment works by replenishing the lost protein and sealing the cuticle, giving you:
Noticeably smoother texture
Major frizz reduction
Added shine and softness
A faster, simpler styling routine
And the sealed cuticle protects hair from further damage, meaning your strands stay healthier in the long run.
It doesn’t make your hair flat
This one comes up a lot, and we get it. No one wants poker-straight hair that feels heavy or lifeless. But here’s the good news, a properly done keratin treatment doesn’t have to kill your volume.
At Pastels, we customise every treatment. Want to keep your natural waves, just minus the halo of fuzz? Done. Prefer a glass-like finish with movement and swish? We’ll make it happen.
Our stylists work with your goals in mind, so your hair looks smoother, shinier, and easier to manage.
We also offer two of the industry’s best keratin systems, which are Brae and Fabriq. They both deliver beautiful results, but they’re suited to different hair types and needs.
Frizz-free mornings start here
Ultimately, keratin is about looking good and feeling in control. Imagine hair that’s ready when you are, styled in half the time, stays sleek in 80% humidity, and shines even after a dip in the sea.
At Pastels, we’ve perfected the art of safe, expert-led keratin. Our team knows how to get real, long-lasting results without compromising your hair’s health.
Every treatment is tailored, every product is salon-grade, and every appointment leaves you feeling a little more unstoppable.
