If you spend every morning fighting frizz or flat-ironing your hair into submission, a smoothing treatment can give you that time back. But “smoothing” covers several different services, and each one does something different. Here is how the treatments we offer at L.A. Hair Design compare.
Keratin relaxing
Keratin treatments coat the hair with protein to reduce frizz and make it easier to blow dry smooth. Your natural texture is softened rather than removed, so it suits clients who like some movement but want less frizz and shorter styling time.
Good for: frizzy, wavy or humidity-prone hair that you still want to wear with some body.
CHI Straightening System
This is a straightening service designed to leave hair sleek and straight. It is a bigger change than a keratin treatment and is aimed at clients who want to wear their hair straight every day.
Good for: clients who want straight hair without daily flat-ironing.
Curl relaxing
Curl relaxing loosens tight curls so they are softer, looser and easier to manage. It suits curly hair that you want to keep curly but tamer.
Good for: tight or frizzy curls that you want to loosen rather than straighten completely.
Hair Botox: biotin and keratin curl relaxer
Our Hair Botox treatment combines biotin and keratin to relax curl and add shine and softness. It is a good middle ground for clients who want smoother hair and a conditioning boost at the same time.
Which one should you choose?
| If you want… | Consider |
|---|---|
| Less frizz, keep some wave | Keratin relaxing |
| Sleek, straight hair every day | CHI Straightening System |
| Looser, softer curls | Curl relaxing |
| Smoother hair plus extra shine and softness | Hair Botox |
Prefer more curl, not less? A body wave or spiral perm does the opposite job. See our perms page.
