Hi! I`m Sunny Suny, an independent Hairstylist at Hair by Sunny Sun in Melbourne, I’ve seen how transformative keratin treatments can be for my clients. But maintaining that silky, smooth finish requires the right aftercare. One of the biggest mistakes I see is using shampoos with ingredients that strip away the keratin. Let's dive into what to avoid and my top shampoo recommendations you can easily find in Melbourne.

Keratin treatments coat your hair to make it smoother and more manageable, but certain ingredients can break down that coating quickly:

Sulfates (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate): Harsh detergents that strip natural oils and keratin.
Sodium Chloride (Salt): Common in many shampoos, but it dissolves the keratin layer.
Alcohols (Isopropyl Alcohol): Dries out the hair and weakens the keratin bond.
Parabens: Preservatives that can damage hair over time.

I always check the label whenever Im shopping! and I understand every person have different budget for hair product, so I list 1. Available at Chemist Warehouse 2. Professional Hair Brands ($20-$30) 3. Premium Professional Brands (Over $30) for my client and whoever seem this post, enjoy!
