I’m thrilled to be offering Goldwell's Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatments at my private studio salon -The Hair Room! And if you're tired of frizz, unruly hair, and endless styling, this treatment will change your hair routine for good.

What is Kerasilk and how does it work?

Here’s what you can expect:

The Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatment is a professional salon service designed to smooth and relax hair by infusing it with a keratin-based formula. The treatment helps to eliminate frizz, reduce curl, and enhance the overall smoothness and shine of the hair. Here’s a breakdown of what it does and how it affects different hair types.

What It Does:

Smoothens Hair: The treatment coats the hair with a layer of keratin, which is a protein naturally found in hair, and smooths out the hair fibers.
Reduces Frizz: It eliminates frizz and flyaways by making the hair more manageable and polished.
Softens and Adds Shine: The hair feels softer and looks shinier because the treatment seals the hair cuticle, locking in moisture.
Reduces Curl (for some types): It can relax natural curl patterns, making the hair straighter and easier to style.
Long-Lasting Results: Results typically last for 3–5 months, depending on hair type and aftercare.
Improves Manageability: Hair becomes easier to style, reducing blow-drying and styling time.

How It Affects Different Hair Types:

Straight Hair with Frizz
For those with straight but frizzy hair, this smoothing treatment will eliminate frizz and give the hair a sleek, glossy finish without making it flat or limp.
Hair will remain straight with a smooth texture.

Wavy Hair
Wavy hair will become smoother, with reduced frizz and more defined waves. The hair will also be more manageable, requiring less time to style.

Curly Hair
For naturally curly hair, the treatment will relax the curls to varying degrees, depending on the curl type. Hair will be straighter but still maintain some body, texture, and volume. This is ideal for individuals who want to reduce curl volume without making it completely straight.

Extremely Curly or Coarse Hair
For very curly or coarse hair, the treatment will provide a significant reduction in volume and frizz, offering a smoother, more polished look. The hair will be easier to control and style, though it may still retain some wave or curl, just in a softer form.

Aftercare:

To maintain the results, it’s important to use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, avoid washing the hair too frequently, and minimize exposure to excessive moisture for the first few days after the treatment.

Kerasilk Keratin Smoothing Treatment works to transform hair by reducing frizz, adding smoothness and shine, and potentially relaxing curls, making it easier to manage and style for all hair types.
