Frequently asked questions
How much does a keratin treatment cost in India?
A keratin treatment in India costs ₹3,500 to ₹9,000 in 2026 depending on hair length, and up to ₹13,000 for extra-long hair or premium brand systems at metro salons.
How long does a keratin treatment last?
3 to 5 months with correct aftercare. Using a sulphate-free shampoo, avoiding sea and chlorinated water for the first week, and skipping heat styling extend it toward 5 months.
Is keratin or smoothening cheaper?
Smoothening is usually ₹500 to ₹1,000 cheaper for the same hair length. Keratin conditions and reduces frizz while keeping some volume, smoothening delivers a flatter, straighter finish.
Does keratin damage hair?
Modern formaldehyde-free keratin systems are low-risk when applied at the correct temperature by a trained stylist. Damage usually comes from repeat treatments inside 3 months or stacking keratin on freshly bleached hair.
What is the keratin treatment price in Hyderabad?
In Hyderabad, keratin costs ₹4,500 to ₹8,500 depending on hair length and brand system, with the aftercare kit at ₹1,200 to ₹2,500 extra.
Do I need to buy the aftercare shampoo?
Yes, in practice. A regular sulphate shampoo strips the treatment and can cut its life from 4 months to 6 weeks, so the ₹1,200 to ₹2,500 kit protects a ₹6,000 service.
