A keratin treatment can completely change the way your hair behaves, especially in Miami, where humidity has a way of undoing even the best blowout. But getting the treatment is only half of the equation. How you care for your hair immediately afterward, and in the weeks that follow, can make a noticeable difference in how smooth your hair stays and how long your results last.

If you color, highlight, bleach, or regularly heat style your hair, you've probably heard someone tell you that you need a bond-building treatment. But what does that actually mean? "Bond repair" has become one of the biggest phrases in professional hair care, and somewhere along the way it started being used to describe almost anything designed for damaged hair.
