Utilizing a potent 2%-5% formaldehyde formula combined with hydrolyzed keratin, collagen, and a dimethicone crosspolymer seal, it restructures hair at the molecular level to provide long-lasting smoothness and humidity resistance for over 20 washes. Ideal for salon use with high-heat styling tools, this cruelty-free, paraben- and sulfate-free cream delivers clinical-grade results trusted by professionals since 1987. ## Description desertcart.com: KERAGEN Forte Keratin Smoothing Treatment – Professional Hair Restructuring System for Coarse & Resistant Hair | Formaldehyde Formula, Dimethicone Crosspolymer Seal | Lasts 20+ Washes | 2 oz : Beauty & Personal Care ## Features - Maximum Protein Cross-Linking: Retail-grade smoothing 'shortcuts' often fail to penetrate thick cuticles, leaving hair waxy and prone to immediate humidity-induced reversion and 'poofing'. By utilizing a 2%–5% Formaldehyde Concentration, this formula ensures the straightening effect actually penetrates resistant, coarse hair types. The result is a permanent polypeptide restructuring that creates a total water-repelling seal for lasting structural integrity. - Deep Cortex Protein Replacement: This advanced formula facilitates structural repair using Hydrolyzed Keratin and Collagen with a Dimethicone Crosspolymer surface seal for ultimate protection. For optimal results, this treatment is designed to be applied with a Professional Flat Iron and High-Heat Blow Dryer while wearing protective gloves. This clinical-grade process ensures the hair structure is reinforced from the inside out during the high-heat setting phase. - Professional Studio Performance: Optimized for use in a Professional Salon Station or Well-Ventilated Studio, this treatment allows stylists to handle even the most difficult textures with absolute confidence. It provides a reliable clinical-grade tool to eliminate profit-killing re-dos by delivering predictable, high-performance outcomes every time. Mastering the application process in a controlled environment ensures a premium experience that reinforces your reputation as a master of texture. - Unmanageable Volume Control: Specifically engineered for medium-to-coarse resistant hair struggling with high-humidity expansion, this shield stands up to the toughest environmental factors. It effectively ends the 45-minute daily flat-iron battle by creating a hydrophobic barrier that prevents expansion even in tropical climates. This makes it the ideal choice for those seeking a total transformation from high-maintenance styling routines to effortless smoothness. - Clinical-Grade Trust Markers: Proudly Made in USA since 1987, this Professional-Only Formulation adheres to a GHS Category 1A Performance Profile for industry-leading standards. The High-Potency Structural Realignment & Hydrophobic Shield provides 'Expensive Hair' resilience that professionals trust for their most demanding clients. These established trust markers ensure you are working with a formula designed for elite performance and long-term hair health. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N27LEK4 | | ASIN | B01N27LEK4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #171,035 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #112 in Chemical Hair Straighteners | | Brand Name | KERAGEN | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (294) | | Hair Type | Frizzy | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Weight | 0.13 Pounds | | Item model number | K01-92166 | | Manufacturer | Chemco Corp | | Manufacturer | Chemco Corp | | Manufacturer Part Number | K01-92166 | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free | | Model Number | K01-92166 | | Package Dimensions | 4.06 x 1.34 x 1.34 inches; 2.08 ounces | | Product Benefits | Fortifying, rejuvenating hair and promoting strength and resilience | | Special Ingredients | Eliminates Curls and Frizz, Medium to Coarse Hair | | UPC | 755439921661 | | UPC | 755439921661 | | Unit Count | 2.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KERAGEN - **Hair Type:** Frizzy - **Item Form:** Cream - **Item Weight:** 0.13 Pounds - **Product Benefits:** Fortifying, rejuvenating hair and promoting strength and resilience ## Images ![Forte Keratin Smoothing Treatment – Professional Hair Restructuring System for Coarse & Resistant Hair | Formaldehyde Formula, Dimethicone Crosspolymer Seal | Lasts 20+ Washes | 2 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512G2UcZ9zL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Keragen - Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatment, Blowout Straightening System for Dry and Damaged Hair - Forte, Sulfate Free - Eliminates Curls and Frizz, Medium to Coarse Hair (2 Oz) - KERAGEN - Clarifying Shampoo with Keratin and Collagen, All Hair Types, Sulfate Free, 2 Oz - Deep Cleansing, Purifying, Refresh and Reset Damaged, Color Treated Hair - KERAGEN - Nourishing Hair Serum for Dry Damaged Hair - Argan Oil for Hair Treatment - Brilliant Shine, Heat Protection with Paraben, Phthalate and Sulfate Free Formula (1.7 Oz) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/57804318-forte-keratin-smoothing-treatment-professional-hair-restructuring-system-for-coarse](https://www.desertcart.us/products/57804318-forte-keratin-smoothing-treatment-professional-hair-restructuring-system-for-coarse) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
