## Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from keratin smoothing and straightening?

You can expect smoother, shinier hair with reduced frizz and improved manageability. Most clients find blow dries quicker and everyday styling more predictable. The aim is a polished finish that still feels natural to you.

How long do results typically last?

Longevity varies by hair type, porosity and your home routine, but results are designed to last for weeks rather than days. Using recommended aftercare helps maintain smoothness and shine for longer. We will advise what to expect for your hair at your appointment.

Are these treatments suitable if my hair is coloured or highlighted?

In many cases, yes, and they can be a great option if you also maintain balayage Birmingham, highlights and grey coverage, or colour correction. Suitability depends on hair condition and recent chemical history. We will assess this in your consultation and guide you safely.

What aftercare is recommended for this category of treatments?

Follow the aftercare advice you are given, and use suitable home products to support smoothness and reduce frizz. Try to minimise heavy build-up from styling products and keep heat styling sensible. Regular trims also help keep ends looking neat and polished.

What can I expect when I book in for a smoothing appointment?

Your visit starts with a clear consultation about your hair goals, lifestyle and how you like to wear your hair. We will explain the process, timings and how to look after your results at home. If you are travelling from nearby, we are easy to reach in Hall Green, Birmingham via Stratford Road.
