TIRED OF HAVING
FRIZZY UNMANAGEABLE HAIR?
Marli Rose is one of Sydney’s leading salons for keratin treatments.
A keratin treatment is a chemical process that smooths and adds shine to frizzy hair. Think of it as a “topcoat” for the hair. Hair gets frizzy when the outermost layer of the hair, called the cuticle, lifts. This allows for moisture and other environmental factors to seep in, swelling the hair shaft and making it thick and frizzy. By having a keratin treatment applied , you’re smoothing down the cuticle and sealing it up, therefore preventing frizz and breakage.
Our passionate and dedicated team are here to help you achieve the look you are after and bring that feeling of hair confidence back into your life.

Keratin treatments are a one-way ticket to humidity-proof hair
Everything to know about the frizz-busting keratin treatments.

WHEN DOLLY PARTON said, “the higher the hair, the closer to God”, I’m pretty sure she wasn’t talking about me arriving at the office with rain-ravaged hair during the third La Niña weather system to hit Australia in as many years. And yet, here we are.
I don’t need to tell you that the humidity goes sky-high during the warmer months, or that with the damp air also comes unmanageable hair for anyone who spends their mornings taming unruly, frizzy hair. It can be extremely frustrating to find yourself looking like a fluff-ball within minutes of stepping outside your front door, and I imagine that’s exactly why the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Meghan Markle are both big fans of the keratin treatment. It’s certainly why I am.
Keratin treatments promise to give you frizz-free hair for months at a time, and personally, they make existing through the months of October and March in Sydney more bearable. So, is the keratin treatment everything it promises to be? Read on to find out everything you need to know about this celebrity-approved beauty treatment.
What is a keratin treatment?
A keratin treatment is a temporary in-salon hair treatment that lasts anywhere from six weeks to four months. “The treatment is intended to smooth and straighten hair, plus increase shine and decrease frizz,” says Ross Macdougald, a cosmetic chemist and founder of Biologi. “The way it works is by putting protein back into the hair while also working on rebuilding damaged areas and ‘smoothing’ the cuticle. The hair cuticle is the outside layer of your hair, and the idea is that when it is ‘smoothed’, it will lie flat,” he says, adding that it’s this smooth appearance that also makes the hair appear shinier.
There are a few reasons you may consider getting a keratin hair treatment, but it mainly comes down to manageability. For me, having hair that takes less time to dry and style, and isn’t thrown into chaos the moment I even dare to look at a rain cloud, is a huge win.

Who is suited to getting a keratin treatment?
The beauty of a keratin treatment is that it will work for most hair types, though people with extremely fine or straight hair risk making their strands sit too flat against the head. “People with wavy and curly hair that is also frizzy will see great results from a keratin treatment,” says Jana Baramilis, hairstylist and owner of Marli Rose salon and Livani Haircare. She adds that keratin treatments won’t straighten curly hair but will just remove all the frizz and bulk, resulting in hair that’s far more manageable.
