The low-maintenance hair routine starts with keratin
Mornings are rushed, workouts leave your hair a frizzy mess, and you’ve got ten minutes to get ready and even less patience for blow-dry drama in this heat?
Here’s your sign to simplify things.
If you’re dreaming of soft, manageable, camera-ready hair without the styling struggle, it’s time to meet your summer saviour: keratin.
This blog is for anyone short on time, tired of frizz, and ready for a smarter, smoother way to do hair without the daily arm workout or drawer full of hot tools.
Why is keratin the shortcut your hair needs
Keratin treatments work by replenishing the natural protein that gives your hair strength, smoothness, and shine.
Over time, thanks to heat styling, colouring, and environmental stress, your hair loses that protein, leaving it dry, puffy, or hard to style.
A professional keratin treatment restores what’s missing, seals the hair cuticle, and creates a smooth, frizz-free surface that holds its shape.
which will help your hair style faster, stay sleek longer, and handle summer.
Real-life perks you’ll notice
We’re not just talking about glossy hair (although you’ll definitely get that too). A keratin treatment at Pastels transforms your day-to-day routine in practical, time-saving ways.
Styling time? Cut in half
Blow-dries that lasted 40 minutes? Done in 15.
Skip the straighteners. Your hair will already be smooth.
With a keratin treatment, you can skip the straighteners because your hair’s already smooth. A quick brush-through or even an air-dry is often all it takes.
And the results are humidity-proof, meaning no more frizz or restyling the minute you step outside, and the finish is sweat-resistant too, keeping your hair sleek even after a gym session.
It’s perfect for holidays, letting you go from pool to dinner with zero effort. Quite simply, it’s the definition of low effort, high reward.
One treatment, two options
At Pastels, we offer two expert-approved keratin systems: Brae and Fabriq. The right one depends on your hair’s texture, condition, and goals, and our stylists will walk you through it during your consultation.
Brae is stronger and ideal for thick, frizz-prone hair that needs control and shine.
Fabriq is softer and better for fine, fragile, or colour-treated hair. It smooths without flattening.
Either way, you’ll walk out with better and healthier hair.
Keep it smooth with the aftercare essentials
To make the most of your keratin treatment, you’ll need the right at-home care. Our stylists will recommend products that keep your results going for weeks, sometimes months.
Here’s what we suggest:
Sulphate-free shampoo & conditioner: Sulphates can strip your treatment. A gentle formula helps lock it in.
Leave-in conditioner with UV protection: Great for daily defence against sun, salt, and heat.
Lightweight oil or serum: Adds shine, controls flyaways, and keeps that glassy finish intact.
Keep your hair tied up: To protect your treatment, it’s best to avoid salty seawater and chlorinated pools. You can still enjoy a swim, but keep your hair tied up and out of the water whenever possible.
Not sure what to choose? We’ve got salon-tested favourites ready for you to take home after your appointment.
Less fuss, more freedom.
Keratin is about removing the daily friction, the stress of wondering if your hair will cooperate, the 20 extra minutes you lose trying to fix that one puffed-up side, and the feeling of dread when it starts to drizzle.
Instead, you get smoothness, shine, and freedom from the usual hassle.
Your summer starts here
If you’ve been craving a lower-maintenance routine that still leaves you feeling polished and put-together, keratin is your next move.
It’s a beauty shortcut that doesn’t compromise on results, and it’s one of the smartest things you can do for your hair this summer.
