No.  A keratin treatment is totally different from a relaxer although both have similar results.  Our keratin formulas are extremely gentle and do not swell and soften the shaft of hair or disintegrate the natural disulfide bonds of the hair, like the straighteners or high pH (alkaline) relaxers will do. A keratin treatment will gently smoothen the hair for a few months and then the hair will go back to its pre treatment condition, unlike rebonding or relaxers which are considered as permanent.
