Keratin is a protein naturally found in skin, hair, and nails, as well as in other sources. In human hair, it serves as both an external protective shield and an internal structural protein. Keratin is the first component to be depleted when hair is damaged, whether physically, chemically, or due to environmental factors such as sun exposure.

Healthy hair contains proteins (including keratin), water, and lipids that work together to moisturize and keep strands strong and smooth. With age and damage from sun exposure and other environmental factors, hair loses some of these vital components, leading to increased dryness and porosity.

To compensate, hair absorbs excess moisture from the air—especially in high-humidity environments—causing the cuticle to swell and leading to frizz. Keratin Complex products and services replenish keratin, helping seal the cuticle and prevent humidity from entering the hair.

Keratin treatments, specifically Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, are professional smoothing treatments powered by our signature keratin. All treatments are performed in-salon by a skilled stylist, ensuring the highest quality care.

Smoothing Therapy treatments effectively repair damage and breakage, reduce frizz, tame curls, and control unruly flyaways, resulting in smoother and healthier-looking hair. Additionally, they prevent humidity—the primary cause of frizz—from negatively impacting your hair.

After experiencing a Smoothing Therapy treatment, achieving a flawless blowout at home becomes significantly easier. Your hair will be more manageable, blow-drying will take less time, and daily styling will be reduced, allowing you to enjoy beautiful hair effortlessly.

Keratin Complex offers smoothing solutions for every hair type, tailored to suit your desired results, budget, longevity, waiting period, and in-salon time. To determine which treatment is best for you, we recommend starting with a consultation with a Keratin Complex stylist.

Ask your stylist about our menu of hair services, which includes customizable Keratin Complex treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our signature in-salon smoothing hair services effectively reduce frizz and curl, improve overall manageability and styling versatility, and leave your hair looking smoother, shinier, and healthier.

• Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment: Our signature smoothing treatment delivers the longest-lasting results.
• Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair: Customized smoothing specifically for blonde and fragile hair.
• Express Blow Out™: A speedy smoothing solution that provides smoother hair without the wait.
• Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System: Our newest treatment is designed for enhanced smoothing.

Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments follow a straightforward four-step process. First, your stylist will use a deep-clarifying shampoo to prepare your hair for treatment by removing residue and buildup from previous hair care products. Next, the selected keratin treatment is applied. Your hair is then blow-dried and flat-ironed to seal in the treatment, resulting in a smooth, silky finish. Please note that steps may vary depending on the specific service performed.

It’s essential to understand that Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments are not conventional straightening treatments. This keratin treatment effectively reduces curl patterns in curly, wavy, or unruly hair, providing a straightening effect without permanently altering the hair’s structure.

After treatment, your hair will not only be easier to maintain but will also retain the versatility to be styled curly, wavy, or straight as desired. Be sure to discuss your styling goals with your stylist to understand the overall results you can expect from a Smoothing Therapy treatment.

The longevity of your keratin treatment results may vary depending on the treatment selected, your lifestyle, and your at-home maintenance regimen. The Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment and Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair can deliver results lasting up to five months. At the same time, the Express Blow Out offers results for up to six weeks, and the Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System lasts up to three months.

To prolong the effects of your keratin treatment, consistently use Keratin Complex keratin-enhanced products, including our collection of sodium chloride-free and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners.

To achieve the longest-lasting results, both the Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment and the Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair require a 72-hour waiting period before shampooing. After an Express Blow Out treatment, we recommend a waiting period of at least eight hours before shampooing. You may extend the waiting period after a Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair, or Express Blow Out without affecting your results.

You may also use Keratin Complex Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder at any time during the waiting period to absorb excess oil, remove odors, and refresh your hair and scalp. There is no waiting period after the Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System. You may shampoo, condition, and style as desired after treatment. Your stylist will recommend the best treatment for you based on your lifestyle, hair type, and desired results.

If your hair gets wet during the waiting period following a keratin treatment like the Smoothing Therapy treatment, simply blow-dry and flat-iron it on low heat as soon as possible. There is no waiting period following the Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System treatment. If your hair gets wet after this treatment, it will not affect your results.

Prices depend on a variety of factors, including the selected treatment, the density, and length of the hair.

As with any chemical service, pregnant or nursing women should seek the advice of their physician before use.

Keratin Complex does not conduct animal testing and does not test its product formulations on animals.

You can lighten or color your hair on the same day as a keratin treatment, such as the Smoothing Therapy treatment. Your stylist will provide the appropriate recommendations and additional information during your consultation to ensure the best results.
