🔬 Inca Glow vs Keratin Treatments
Key Ingredient:
Inca Glow uses a nourishing amino acid complex enriched with Inca oil, omega 3, 6, 9, and vitamins A, C, and E. Traditional keratin treatments rely on keratin protein and often require chemical bonding agents.
Frizz Control:
Inca Glow delivers exceptional frizz control and shine for up to 16 weeks. Keratin treatments typically last 3–6 months but may not handle humidity as effectively in all climates.
Comfort & Safety:
Inca Glow is formaldehyde-free, glyoxylic acid-free, and ammonia-free — with no harsh odours or eye irritation. Keratin treatments often release vapours during heat sealing and may cause discomfort for sensitive clients.
Hair Suitability:
Inca Glow is safe for bleached, colour-treated, curly, and chemically processed hair. Traditional keratin treatments are often not recommended immediately after colouring or bleaching.
Same-Day Colouring:
With Inca Glow, you can safely colour and smooth your hair on the same day. Most keratin treatments require a waiting period before or after colouring.
🔬 How Inca Glow Works
The Inca Glow Smoothing Treatment works by using an advanced Amino Acid Complex, rather than keratin or harsh chemical agents, to smooth and strengthen the hair.
This complex includes:
Amino acids – the building blocks of healthy hair
Glycolic acid and lactic acid – gently open the cuticle and allow deep penetration
Inca flower oil – rich in omega 3, 6, and 9, plus vitamins A, C, and E to nourish and protect
Together, these ingredients rebuild and seal the hair shaft from the inside out — reducing frizz, softening texture, and adding long-lasting shine.
⚡ How It’s Activated
Clarifying Shampoo – First, the hair is washed thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo to remove product build-up and open the cuticle layer.
Treatment Application – The Inca Glow formula is applied section by section to damp hair and left to process (typically around 30–45 minutes depending on hair type).
Rinse & Blow Dry – After processing, the product is rinsed out, and the hair is blow dried smooth.
Heat Sealing – A flat iron is used to activate and seal the smoothing treatment into the hair. This step is critical, as heat bonds the amino acid complex to the hair shaft for lasting results.
🌿 Why It’s Different
Unlike keratin treatments that rely on formaldehyde or glyoxylic acid to create a coating on the hair, Inca Glow uses smaller amino acid molecules to penetrate the hair, improving both surface and internal structure.
This makes it safer, gentler, and more effective for clients who are colour-treated, chemically processed, or sensitive to fumes or scalp irritation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Inca Glow last?
Inca Glow lasts up to 16 weeks, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. Regular use of sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner helps extend results.
Is it safe for coloured or bleached hair?
Yes — Inca Glow is designed to be colour-safe and is frequently used after foils, bleach, or permanent colour. It can even be performed on the same day as a colour service.
What makes it different from a keratin treatment?
Inca Glow is made with amino acids and natural oils, not keratin or harsh bonding chemicals. It’s formaldehyde-free, odour-free, and much gentler on hair and scalps.
Will it straighten my hair completely?
Not necessarily. Inca Glow smooths and softens texture, but doesn't chemically straighten like a relaxer. Curls and waves will be looser, but natural movement remains.
What’s the downtime after treatment?
None! You can wash your hair, tie it up, or go about your day as normal — unlike traditional smoothing treatments that require 48–72 hours of waiting. Although avoid getting it wet for 48 hours after treatment and do not use shampoos or conditioners that are detergent based with sulphates or parabens.
