Confused between keratin treatment and hair smoothening? We break down the differences, costs, and results to help you choose at Super Cuts.
Both keratin treatments and hair smoothening are popular choices for those seeking frizz-free, manageable hair. But which one is right for you?
Keratin Treatment
Keratin treatments infuse your hair with a protein called keratin, which is naturally found in hair, skin, and nails. The treatment fills in porous gaps in the hair shaft, reducing frizz and adding shine. Results last 3-5 months and the treatment gradually fades.
Hair Smoothening
Hair smoothening uses stronger chemicals to permanently break down the hair's natural bonds and reset them in a straighter pattern. The results last until new hair grows (6-8 months) and the hair remains straight even after washing.
Key Differences
Keratin is better for those who want frizz control with natural movement. Smoothening is ideal for those who want pin-straight hair. Keratin is gentler on hair while smoothening offers more dramatic results.
Our Recommendation
For most clients, we recommend starting with a keratin treatment to see if it meets your needs. Our stylists will guide you through the best option based on your hair type and desired results.
