Smooth, Strong, & Frizz-Free Hair Starts Here…
Keratin smoothing treatments enter the hair follicles and flood the porous areas with a keratin solution, creating a smooth and straight finish. The hair appears shinier and silkier than before. The treatment helps fight against humidity and frizz and can save substantial blow dry time when styling. It also prevents heat-related breakage and damage from blow drying and flat ironing your hair. Keratin smoothing treatments can indirectly help with hair growth by improving your hair’s overall health and strength.
Keratin is a protein naturally present in hair and helps give it structure and strength. When hair is damaged or weakened, it can lead to breakage and stunted growth. The keratin treatment works by adding a protein layer to the hair, which can help repair damage and strengthen the hair shaft. When hair is stronger, it is less prone to breakage, allowing it to grow longer.
Keratin treatment can also help improve the appearance of hair, making it look thicker and fuller. This can give the illusion of faster hair growth.

Your hair is primarily made of a protein called keratin. Over time, this protein can become damaged or depleted due to heat styling, chemical treatments, and environmental factors. Keratin Smoothing replenishes this protein, rebuilding damaged areas and smoothing the hair cuticle. This process not only increases shine but also significantly reduces frizz, giving you healthier, more manageable hair.
