Many people want options for maintaining their hair without the chemicals.  A Smoothing Treatment is an option that fits this requirement.  The natural next question is, what is a Smoothing Treatment?

A Smoothing Treatment is a smoothing system to improve hair texture, transforming rough, frizzy hair texture to smooth, sleek hair with a shiny finish without the use of formaldehyde. Since a Smoothing Treatment is a non-chemical, the natural hair can revert back to its original texture. Hair will be more manageable, meaning you will be able to wash, blow-dry, and style the hair. Continued work is involved for the client when this treatment is performed.  The hair will not stay straight permanently.

A Smoothing Treatment is for all hair textures and all ethnicities. If your hair is chemically damaged, a Smoothing Treatment will work for you.  If you are currently transitioning from a relaxer to natural hair, Smoothing Treatment will work for you.  Even if you want to correct a cowlick, or want the hair to part to the other side, a Smoothing Treatment can be the remedy.

Let get into a little more detail about a Smoothing Treatment.

The Process

Before any service is performed, a consultation is given.  Your stylist will examine your hair, ask questions about your hair history, and suggest a treatment that best suits your needs. Your hair is shampooed twice, toweled dry, and sprayed with leave-in spray.  Your hair is parted into 4-6 sections.  The Smoothing Treatment is then applied to the hair from the scalp to the ends and the product is combed through. Once the section has been completed, the client is placed under the steamer for 45-60 minutes.  The hair then gets blow-dryed and flat ironed.

With the humidity a Smoothing Treatment can revert the hair to its natural texture.  You can re-flat iron the hair.  Again, maintenance is involved with a Smoothing Treatment.  When re-flat ironing. its recommended that the sections are no more then ¼” and use heat protection.
