Professional Keratin Straightening

The Smoothing Therapy line is comprised of advanced, in-salon treatments that restore and restructure the hair by infusing a special blend of hydrolyzed keratin deep into the cuticle. The hydrolyzed keratin is bonded to the cuticle with heat from a flat iron to relax the hair's subcuticle layer, resulting in renewed smoothness and shine.

Natural keratin smoothing treatment is our signature smoothing therapy that was created especially for frizzy and curly textured hair, and is effective for all hair types. It is a revitalizing and rejuvenating treatment that seals keratin into the cuticle to lock out frizz-causing humidity and reduce curls. 

One treatment gives long-lasting results for up to five months and requires a 72-hour waiting period post-treatment. Our newest smoothing therapy - Express Blow Out, is a unique, one-hour service that gives the hair a softer, smoother and silkier texture for up to six weeks. Hair can be washed after just eight hours. This technique is perfect for all hair types.

Time should be determined on an individual basis. Keratin complex recommends an initial consultation with each client to determine their hair length, type and texture. As a general rule, please allow a two to three-hour window for the natural keratin smoothing treatment and a one-hour window for express blow out.

The hair will be more manageable and easy to style, and will be resistant to humidity. It will feel noticeably softer and silkier, with added life, shine and vibrance.

A great time to have the treatment done is directly after permanent color, semi-permanent color or highlights. The treatment seals the color in, making it last longer and appear more vibrant. If you choose to have color applied after the treatment, we recommend waiting at least two weeks.

We recommend that the hair be cut after the treatment, as the hair will have a smoother texture and will lie differently.
