When you think of Keratin hair treatments, the words that often come to mind are chemical-soaked, stinky, time-consuming and well, they just sound like a lot of hard work (and money). However, there’s a new breed of treatments in salons that promise the same kind of hair-smoothing effects, with less of ALL of the above. And hey, if they promise to reduce styling time so you can get out the door faster, we thought it was worth doing some digging to find out if they’re all they’re cracked up to be…    Each Thursday, Body+Soul digital editor Alison Izzo (who, by her own admission, is no beauty expert) and Body+Soul beauty editor Kelsey Ferencak (who, is a bonafide expert with years of experience speaking to experts) get together to try and crack the everyday beauty problems that plague us all.   The treatments: Goldwell Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatment, $250 - $450 depending on your hair type and salon.
