Before you book
A keratin smoothing service uses a smoothing formula that is applied to the hair and sealed in with a flat iron. It can reduce frizz, add shine and make hair faster and easier to blow-dry. Results fade gradually over time, and how much it relaxes your natural wave depends on the product and method. Smoothing suits people with frizzy, wavy or curly hair who want a sleeker, more manageable finish. Before you book, ask what product the salon uses and what is in it. Some smoothing products can release fumes, including formaldehyde, when heated, so ask how the salon keeps the room well ventilated. Ask about aftercare, too.
- Ask the salon to name the smoothing product and share what is in it.
- Ask how long to wait before washing, tying back or tucking your hair behind your ears.
- Ask whether the service will loosen your curls if you want to keep them.
- Use the gentle shampoo your stylist suggests to help the results last.

Questions people ask
How long does keratin smoothing last?
It varies by product, hair type and how often you wash. The results fade gradually. Your stylist can tell you what to expect for your hair.
Will keratin smoothing straighten curly hair?
It depends on the product and method. Some smoothing services mainly reduce frizz, while others loosen curls more. Ask exactly what result to expect before you book.
Can I color my hair before a smoothing service?
Many stylists prefer to color first, then smooth. Ask your stylist how to time the two services for your hair.
