What Is a Keratin Treatment?
A keratin treatment (also called a smoothing or blow-dry treatment) is a salon service that reduces frizz, adds shine and makes hair easier to manage. At Wigs & Warpaint in Sheffield, our keratin smoothing is one of the most popular ways to tame unruly or humidity-prone hair.
What It Does
The treatment smooths the hair's surface, sealing in keratin to cut down frizz and flyaways. The result is glossier, softer, more manageable hair that dries faster and styles in a fraction of the time. It relaxes the curl and reduces volume rather than poker-straightening, so you keep movement.
How Long Does It Last?
With the right aftercare, a keratin treatment typically lasts around three to five months, gradually softening as it grows out, with no harsh line.
Aftercare
- Use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to protect the treatment.
- Avoid heavy, build-up-prone products.
- Keep heat styling gentle; you'll need far less of it anyway.
- A bond or moisture treatment between visits keeps condition high.
Is It Right for You?
Keratin smoothing suits frizzy, coarse, wavy or hard-to-manage hair, and anyone who wants to cut their styling time right down. If your hair is fine or you love big volume, we'll talk through whether it's the best option at your consultation. It can be paired with colour, and we'll always advise on timing.
