Hello my girls from beautiful Corfu! I’m Effi from Scissors by Effi and today I want to talk about an “enemy” that we all know well, especially here on our island: frizz! How many times have you spent hours straightening your hair, only to go outside and the humidity makes it fly out of control? I know, I’ve lived it and I see it every day in my clients. That’s why I’m here to tell you that there is a solution, and it’s magical. It’s called keratin treatment in Corfu and it’s the ultimate answer for smooth hair that lasts.
The humidity of Corfu is a blessing for our green landscape, but a curse for our hair. The constant battle to deal with frizz can be exhausting. Straightening irons, dozens of styling products, and in the end, disappointment. If you are looking for a permanent, effective solution that will free your hands and give you the hair of your dreams, then the keratin treatment in Corfu that we offer at our salon is exactly what you need. Let’s dive into the world of keratin together and discover how it can change your life and your hair.

What Exactly Is Keratin and Why Does Your Hair Need It?
Before we talk about the treatment, let’s clarify what keratin is. Simply put, keratin is a natural protein that is the main structural component of our hair, nails and skin. Think of it as the skeleton of the hair. When hair is healthy, the hair cuticles are closed and smooth, filled with keratin. This gives them strength, elasticity and shine.
However, everyday factors such as heat styling, chemical treatments (dyes, bleaching), sun exposure and, of course, humidity, wear down this protective layer. The hair loses its keratin, becomes porous, weak and dull. The result? Frizz, split ends and hair that looks damaged. Keratin treatment in Corfu comes to replenish this lost protein. We apply a special product rich in keratin, which penetrates the hair, fills the gaps and breaks, and then we “lock” it with heat.
Our Excellence: Why We Choose Nanocure Brazilian Keratin Gold 24k
At Scissors by Effi, I don’t settle for anything less than the best for you. That’s why, after much research, I chose to work exclusively with Nanocure Keratin Gold 24k. It’s not just another keratin treatment in Corfu; it’s a luxurious hair-rebuilding experience. This product is the cutting edge of technology in smoothing and frizz control.
What makes it so special? It’s enriched with 24-carat gold flakes! Yes, you heard that right. The gold, processed with nanotechnology, penetrates the hair along with the keratin. This offers incredible iridescent shine, antioxidant properties that protect the color, and UV filters for sun protection. It’s ideal for hair with warm tones, as it highlights golden highlights in a way that no other treatment can. Nanocure Gold guarantees the highest level of straightening and frizz elimination, giving smooth hair with a luxurious feel.
The Process: What to Expect When You Come to Scissors by Effi
Deciding to get a keratin treatment in Corfu is an investment in yourself and your time. I want you to know exactly what happens when you sit in my chair.
- Diagnosis & Consultation: First of all, we will talk. I will examine your hair type, its condition and listen to your expectations. Do you want absolute straightening or just taming frizz while maintaining your natural waves? This step is crucial to tailoring the treatment to your specific needs.
- Cleansing Shampoo: We start with a special shampoo that deeply cleanses the hair and opens its cuticles. This allows the keratin to penetrate to the maximum extent possible.
- Application: Then, I divide the hair into small sections and thoroughly apply the Nanocure Gold 24k product from root to tip, making sure to cover every hair.
- Waiting Time: We let the product act for a specific period of time, depending on the type and condition of your hair.
- Drying & Sealing: We dry the hair 100% and then comes the most important step: sealing. With a professional straightening iron at the appropriate temperature, I go through each strand several times. The heat activates the keratin and gold, “locking” them into the hair and smoothing its surface.
The result? Immediately visible! You’ll leave the salon with incredibly smooth hair, shiny, soft and without a trace of frizz. Treating frizz has never been so effective and luxurious.
How to Maintain Great Results at Home
Keratin treatment in Corfu can last from 3 to 6 months, but proper home care is the key to its maximum duration. I would never leave you without the advice and the right “tools”!
The Golden Rule: Products Without Sulphates
This is the most important thing. Shampoos with sulphates are the biggest enemy of keratin. They are aggressive and “wash” the treatment out of your hair much faster. Invest in a good, professional, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to protect your investment and keep your hair smooth for longer.
Leave-In Treatments: The Daily Shield of Protection
For daily care and styling, two products that I highly recommend are L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Blow-Dry Fluidifier and Fibre Clinix Bondfinity Fibre Sealer.
- L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Blow-Dry Fluidifier: This leave-in cream is a miracle. Not only does it protect against heat up to 230°C, but it also offers 96 hours of frizz protection! Apply 2-3 pumps to damp hair and blow-dry. Your style will last for days and your hair will remain smooth and manageable, even in the humidity of Corfu. It’s ideal for dealing with frizz on a daily basis.
- Fibre Clinix Bondfinity Fibre Sealer: This cream is a “hero” for damaged ends. It instantly seals 94% of split ends, deeply nourishes and reduces hair breakage. It is a lightweight leave-in formula that offers softness, shine and frizz control for up to 48 hours. If you have damaged or bleached hair, this product will become your best friend, maintaining the results of your Keratin treatment in Corfu flawlessly.
Thermal Protection: NEVER Skip It!
Even with keratin, heat from a blow dryer or straightener can cause damage. Using a good heat protectant is essential. OSIS Flatliner is my top pick. It offers protection up to 230°C, reduces frizz and helps protect against humidity. Spray on damp hair before blow-drying or on dry hair before using a straightener. Hair becomes extremely smooth, tangle-free and protected. It is the final step to ensure perfectly smooth hair that lasts.
Proper care is just as important as the keratin treatment in Corfu. By following these tips, you will enjoy its benefits for a long, long time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does keratin treatment last?
The duration varies depending on your hair type and the care you give your hair afterwards. Typically, the results of Nanocure Gold 24k last from 3 to 6 months. The more often you wash and the less you use the recommended products, the faster the result will fade.
Is it safe for dyed or bleached hair?
Absolutely! In fact, it is ideal. The Keratin Treatment in Corfu we offer repairs the damage caused by chemical treatments. It closes the hair cuticles, “locking” the color in and making it look more vibrant and shiny. Nanocure Gold 24k, in fact, protects against fading thanks to UV filters.
Can I tie my hair up immediately after the treatment?
It is recommended to leave your hair loose, without elastics, clips or headbands for the first 72 hours after treatment. This gives the keratin time to fully set into the hair and prevents unwanted frizz.
What is the difference from straightening treatment (e.g. Brazilian Keratin)?
Nanocure Gold 24k is an evolution of Brazilian Keratin. While both aim to combat frizz and smooth, the nano-gold formula offers superior shine, protection and reconstruction. It is a smoothing treatment and not a permanent straightener that chemically changes the hair structure. This means that the hair gradually returns to its natural state, without creating an unsightly two-tone finish at the root.
How often can I repeat the treatment?
You can repeat the Keratin treatment in Corfu every 3-4 months or whenever you feel that your hair is starting to frizz again. There is no risk from frequent repetitions, as the treatment is restorative and nourishing for the hair.
How much does the keratin treatment cost at Scissors by Effi?
The cost depends on the length and density of your hair. To give you an accurate price, I prefer to see you in person. Book a free consultation appointment at the salon so we can discuss your hair needs together and give you a personalized quote.
