One brand, a treatment for each kind of frizz
Keratin Complex is a US smoothing brand that launched its first treatment in 2007. Instead of one formula for everyone, it makes a range: long-lasting, express, extra-strength, and one made for blonde hair.
Vanessa smooths with Keratin Complex and Kerasilk. Which treatment you get depends on your hair and what you want from it, and she recommends one at your consultation. New to smoothing? Start with the keratin treatment overview. If you searched for a Brazilian blowout, this is the kind of service you are looking for.
Keratin Complex says every treatment "eliminates frizz, increases manageability, repairs damage" and leaves hair softer, with shine.

- Frizz that takes over on humid days
- Long blow-dries you want to shorten
- Color you want to keep looking glossy
Vanessa recommends the right Keratin Complex treatment for your hair at your consultation.
NKST BlondeNatural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair
Keratin Complex describes NKST Blonde as reparative and "not just for blondes." Its soft neutral-tint formula is made not to compromise blonde, grey, or silver tones, and it is meant for fine, fragile, or overprocessed hair.

- Blonde, highlighted, or lightened hair
- Gray and silver you want to keep clear

Vanessa recommends the right Keratin Complex treatment for your hair at your consultation.
KCEXPRESSExpress Blow Out Smoothing Treatment

- A summer of humidity, beach days, or a trip
- Bangs or a frizzy hairline only
Vanessa recommends the right Keratin Complex treatment for your hair at your consultation.
KCMAXMaximum Keratin Smoothing Treatment

- Wearing your hair straight most days
- No patience for a waiting period afterward
Vanessa recommends the right Keratin Complex treatment for your hair at your consultation.

From six weeks to five months
Keratin Complex gives every treatment an "up to" figure. Longer is not automatically better: a six-week express treatment can be the right call before a summer or a trip, and a five-month treatment suits someone who wants to forget about frizz for a season.
- NKSTUp to 5 months
- NKST BlondeUp to 5 months

A first taste of smoothing
Six weeks is a short commitment. It is an easy way to see how your hair feels smoothed before you plan a longer treatment.
Just the problem spots
The maker suggests it for spot treatments, bangs, and problem areas, such as a frizzy hairline or the layers around your face.
Smoothing that keeps blonde and silver clear
Keratin Complex describes NKST Blonde as reparative and "not just for blondes." Its soft neutral-tint formula is made not to compromise blonde, grey, or silver tones, and it is meant for fine, fragile, or overprocessed hair.

Planning smoothing around your color
Color first, smoothing after
Many stylists color first so the treatment is sealed over your finished shade. Vanessa sets the order and spacing for your color and the treatment she recommends.
Recently lightened?
Fresh bleach, highlights, or balayage can be a reason to wait a little before smoothing. Mention any recent lightening when you call.
Covering gray too?
Bring up your root touch-up schedule so the two services work together. See gray coverage and highlights.
What a Keratin Complex appointment is like
The general shape of the visit. The exact steps depend on the treatment, and Vanessa walks you through hers before she starts.
How long will I be in the chair?
It depends on your hair and the treatment. Keratin Complex's own estimates: KCEXPRESS adds about 15 minutes to a color service or takes about an hour on its own, and KCMAX takes about 90 minutes. Vanessa gives you a time when you book.
Consultation
Vanessa looks at your texture, your color history, and how you style, then recommends the Keratin Complex treatment and tells you the price.
Cleanse
Hair is usually shampooed first so the treatment goes onto clean hair with nothing sitting on the surface.
Apply
The treatment is worked through section by section. Length and density decide how much is used.
Dry and seal
Hair is blow-dried and the treatment is sealed with heat. The exact steps depend on which treatment you have.
Finish and notes
You leave smooth and styled, with the washing and styling notes for your treatment and a home care recommendation.

Home care between visits

Which Keratin Complex treatment is right for me?
It depends on your texture, your color, and how smooth you want to go. As a rough guide from the maker's own descriptions: NKST for long-lasting frizz control, NKST Blonde for blonde, gray, or fragile hair, KCEXPRESS for quick smoothing with color, KCMAX for the straightest finish, and PBO when you want to choose the finish. Vanessa recommends the treatment at your consultation.
How long does a Keratin Complex treatment last?
Keratin Complex says NKST and NKST Blonde last up to 5 months, KCMAX, PBO, KCSMOOTH, and KCRIO up to 3 months, and KCEXPRESS up to 6 weeks. How long it lasts on your hair depends on how often you wash and how much sun, salt, and pool water it sees.
What is KCEXPRESS, the express blowout?
KCEXPRESS is the Keratin Complex Express Blow Out Smoothing Treatment. The maker says it adds 15 minutes to a color service or takes about an hour on its own, can be shampooed just hours after, and lasts up to 6 weeks.
Can I get Keratin Complex at the same appointment as my color?
Keratin Complex designed KCEXPRESS to be added to a color service. For the longer-lasting treatments, Vanessa plans the order and spacing with your color. Tell the salon about both when you call.
Is there a Keratin Complex treatment for blonde or gray hair?
Yes. Keratin Complex makes NKST Blonde with a soft neutral-tint formula that the maker says will not compromise blonde, grey, or silver tones. It is also meant for fine, fragile, or overprocessed hair.
When can I wash my hair after a Keratin Complex treatment?
It depends on the treatment. Keratin Complex says KCEXPRESS can be shampooed just hours after, KCMAX can be pulled back right away, and PBO allows a same-day style. For the others, Vanessa tells you before you leave.
How much does a Keratin Complex treatment cost?
Price depends on the treatment and on your hair's length and density. Call 386-872-2263 and you will hear the price before anything is applied.
Is Keratin Complex the same as a Brazilian blowout?
No. Brazilian Blowout is another company's brand name, though many people use the phrase for any salon smoothing. Keratin Complex is its own smoothing brand, and it is one of the two Vanessa works with.
Where is the salon?
Hair Goddess Salon, Spa & Boutique is at 236 Riverbeach Dr. in Ormond Beach, just north of Daytona Beach. It is a short drive from Daytona Beach, Holly Hill, South Daytona, and Daytona Beach Shores.
