What is a keratin treatment?

A keratin treatment is a professional hair smoothing service that infuses a keratin protein formula into each strand, then seals it in with heat. It eliminates frizz, cuts blow-dry time significantly, and adds shine — without permanently altering your natural texture. Your hair still has movement; you just don't have the fight.

How long does a keratin treatment last?

Depends on which option you choose. The Express Treatment lasts up to 6 weeks. The Full Keratin Treatment lasts up to 6 months. Using sulfate-free shampoo and following the aftercare guidelines Kelly provides will maximize your results.

Who performs keratin treatments at Creative Touch?

Kelly Frerer is Creative Touch's dedicated keratin and extensions specialist in Tupelo, MS. She works with all hair types — fine, thick, curly, straight, color-treated, and chemically processed — and will recommend the right treatment option for your hair and lifestyle.

How much does a keratin treatment cost in Tupelo, MS?

The Express Keratin Treatment starts at $175 and takes about 90 minutes. The Full Keratin Treatment starts at $350 and takes about 2.5 hours. Final pricing depends on your hair length and density. Call Creative Touch at (662) 844-3734 and Kelly will give you an honest quote before booking.

Can I get a keratin treatment if I have color-treated hair?

Yes. Keratin treatments are generally compatible with color-treated hair. In many cases, the smoothing treatment can actually enhance color vibrancy and shine. Kelly will assess your hair's current condition during your consultation and let you know if any precautions apply to your specific situation.

How do I care for my hair after a keratin treatment?

For the first 24 to 48 hours, keep your hair dry and avoid washing, tying, or clipping it. After that, switch to a sulfate-free shampoo — this is the single most important thing you can do to extend your results. Avoid saltwater and chlorinated pools when possible. Kelly will walk you through everything before you leave the chair.

Is a keratin treatment the same as a Brazilian blowout?

They're similar but not identical. 'Brazilian blowout' is a brand name for one type of keratin smoothing treatment. At Creative Touch, we offer professional keratin treatments that achieve the same frizz-elimination and smoothing results. Both work by sealing a keratin formula into the hair shaft with heat — the key differences are the specific formula and application technique. Kelly can explain exactly what to expect from the treatment we offer.

WHAT KERATIN DOES

Less Frizz. Faster Styling. More Good Hair Days.

Keratin treatments are not chemical straighteners. They work with your hair's natural texture, eliminating frizz, adding shine, and dramatically cutting your blow-dry time without locking your hair into a single shape. You still have movement. You just don't have the fight.

Kelly Frerer is the specialist to see. She offers two options: the Express Treatment ($175+) for a shorter commitment with 6-week results, and the Full Treatment ($350+) that genuinely changes how your hair behaves for up to 6 months. Combine your keratin appointment with color, massage, or other services the same day. Call to book — Kelly will help you pick the right option.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect

Consultation with Kelly

Kelly assesses your hair type, texture, and goals. She'll recommend Express vs. Full based on your hair and lifestyle, no upsell, just the right call.

Application

The keratin formula is applied section by section through clean, dry hair. This is the most time-intensive part of the service. Precision here is what makes the result last.

Heat Processing

A flat iron seals the treatment into each strand at high heat. This is what activates the smoothing effect. The transformation happens right here in the chair.

Aftercare Instructions

Kelly walks you through the 24 to 48 hour no-wash window and the sulfate-free shampoo requirement. Follow them and your results last the full duration. She'll tell you exactly what to do.

If you’ve been told keratin won’t work on your hair, or you’ve had a bad experience somewhere else, call me. I’ll give you a straight answer about what’s realistic and how to get there.
