Vegan keratin hair treatment is gaining popularity in the European Union as more people are tilting towards ethical and plant-based beauty. You may be a first timer trying to explore this type of treatment; sit tight, there are so many benefits to explore from vegan treatments.
Begin With Clean, Prepped Strands
Having a clean base is the foundation of any treatment. It also determines whether you get a good result or not; don’t play down on this one. Refrain from using harsh formulas, as they are capable of stripping away your hair’s natural oils.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, overwashing weakens the hair shaft; switch to a balanced wash routine that won’t strip your scalp of its natural oils.
Wash With a Clarifying Shampoo
Clarify with GK Hair’s pH+ Shampoo. This formula helps remove all dirt still lingering in your hair, such as product buildup, hard water minerals and dirt. Cruelty free protein hair treatment allows the cuticle to open, enabling the plant-based clarifying formula to absorb.
Tip: Ensure you wash your hair twice for virgin hair.
This step is important before using the vegan protein treatment for hair and is particularly beneficial in areas of the EU with hard water, including areas like Spain, Italy and Germany, where minerals can cause dullness or dryness. Do this step 3 days before the vegan treatment.
Apply the Vegan Keratin Treatment
Here lies the core of your routine. A vegan keratin treatment is a plant-based protein treatment derived from rich ingredients like quinoa and pea, which help strengthen weak hair fibres. According to the Journal of Cosmetic Service, hydrolysed plant proteins may temporarily strengthen the hair shaft by adhering to damaged areas.
Apply the mask over sectioned hair between mid-lengths and ends. After that, leave the treatment for over 40 to 60 minutes; this is the time the protein needs to absorb into your hair. Keep in mind that less is more and too much of it may make hair hard.
When the natural curls of your hair tend to be brittle due to heat styling or colouring, this treatment is a gorgeous match for a protein treatment for natural hair, which adds back some elasticity without weighing down your hair.
Reach for GK Hair’s The Best Vegan Hair Treatment. It contains Juvexin V2, a blend of Pea and Quinoa. The uniqueness of the treatment is that it lasts up to 3-5 months, leaving your hair soft and manageable. lus it's very safe to use on colour-treated hair.
This vegan hair treatment contains healthy ingredients that are safe for your tresses and scalp. In its excellence, it comes in two varieties:
-
The Best Acai Hair Treatment: It contains ingredients like Juvexin V2, Acai, and grapes.
-
The Best Coco Hair Treatment: It is another flavour that contains Juvexin V2, coconut oil and vitamin E.
Use Heat (Gently) to Boost Penetration
Plant proteins are better bonded when slightly warmed. Dry with a low heat setting. Heat enables the ingredients to penetrate deeper layers of the cuticle.
Rinse With Cool Water for Shine
Rinse with cool water after the whole process. Cool water helps close up the already opened cuticle. Rinsing with cool water has other advantages, like helping to keep frizz under control, especially if you live in EU coastal regions where humidity is high.
Follow Up With a Vegan Shampoo and Conditioner
For balance, layer on moisture. Vegan aloe, oat peptides, or coconut water conditioner aids in softening the hair upon protein absorption. GK Hair’s Vegan Conditioner comes in handy here. It moisturises without heavy silicones. Moisture plus protein is the winning formula for long-term hair resilience.

Style With Quality Tools
The kind of tools that you use is important. GK Hair combs and brushes are made to slide through hair and not pull it, preventing breakage after your vegan keratin treatment. If you must use heat tools, make sure those are EU-standard tools like GK Hair’s D700 Titanium Flat Iron. It has an adjustable setting. A temperature of 220-232°C is recommended.
Note: Each heat treatment shortens the duration of your protein treatment. Low heat helps maintain strength and shine.
Maintain Results With Weekly Moisture Masks
Protein gives structure, and this treatment can make your hair thirsty. Moisture gives that softness. Switching between the two will form a proportional balance, which will maintain the health of your hair. What you need is GK Hair’s Deep Conditioner Hair Treatment. It helps lock in moisture and deeply nourish your strands.
