Perfect if you want smoother, more manageable hair without committing to a full-day treatment, this service infuses keratin and actives into your hair and seals them with heat for results that last weeks to months. ## What Happens During Your Treatment Your stylist will start with a **free 15-minute consultation** to understand your hair history, goals, and lifestyle. The treatment itself involves: - **Clarifying cleanse** to remove product build-up and open the cuticle - **Sectioning and application** of the keratin smoothing formula to towel-dried or dry hair - **Processing time** while the formula works its magic - **Blow-drying and heat sealing** with a flat iron at high temperature to lock keratin into the cuticle The whole appointment typically takes 30–90 minutes, depending on your hair length and thickness. You'll leave with noticeably **smoother, shinier, less puffy hair** that's far more resistant to humidity. ## Who It's For Keratin smoothing works brilliantly for **frizzy, wavy, or curly hair** that struggles with humidity or takes ages to style. It's also suitable for colour-treated hair, though our team will tailor the formula strength and heat settings if your hair is bleached or fragile. This isn't a permanent chemical straightener—it's all about **frizz control and manageability** rather than pin-straight results. If you want to keep your natural curl or wave but lose the frizz and flyaways, keratin smoothing is ideal. The results gradually wash out rather than growing out with a hard line, so it's a flexible, lower-commitment option. ## Aftercare and Making Results Last Most keratin systems require you to **avoid washing or wetting your hair for 48–72 hours** after treatment—that means no rain, sweaty workouts, swimming, or tying your hair back during this time. (Some modern formulas allow same-day washing; your stylist will confirm which applies to you.) Once the waiting period is over, switching to **sulfate-free or keratin-safe shampoo and conditioner** will help prolong your results. You'll notice your blow-dry time drops significantly, and styling with heat tools becomes much easier. Results typically last **2–5 months**, depending on how often you wash your hair and how well you maintain it. ## Why Choose Park Row Our team—including Janet, Lynzie, Beckie, Alicia, Jess, and Imogen—are all trained in professional keratin smoothing systems and regularly attend shows and training to stay sharp.

[Call to Book](tel:+441484722220) ## Frequently Asked Questions How much does keratin smoothing cost? Our Keratin Smoothing (1st Phase) starts from £150. The final price depends on your hair length, thickness, and the amount of product needed. How long does the treatment take? The express keratin smoothing service typically takes 30–90 minutes, depending on your hair length and thickness. We'll confirm timing during your free consultation. How long do the results last? Results generally last 2–5 months, depending on how often you wash your hair and whether you use sulfate-free products. The smoothing effect gradually washes out rather than growing out with a hard line. Can I wash my hair straight after the treatment? Most keratin systems require you to avoid washing or wetting your hair for 48–72 hours. Your stylist will confirm the exact aftercare for the brand we use and give you detailed instructions before you leave. Will keratin smoothing straighten my curls completely? No, keratin smoothing is about frizz control and manageability, not creating pin-straight hair. It can gently relax your curl pattern depending on the formula and technique, but you'll still have movement and body. Is keratin smoothing safe for colour-treated or bleached hair? Yes, keratin smoothing is generally safe for colour-treated hair. If your hair is bleached or fragile, our stylists will adjust the formula strength and heat settings to protect your hair and avoid over-processing. What products should I use after keratin smoothing? We recommend sulfate-free or keratin-safe shampoo and conditioner to prolong your results. Our team can recommend specific Keune products that work beautifully with smoothing treatments. What's the difference between keratin smoothing and a chemical straightener? Keratin smoothing is semi-permanent and focuses on reducing frizz and improving manageability, while chemical straighteners permanently alter the hair structure for completely straight results. Keratin treatments gradually wash out and are gentler on the hair. Can I tie my hair back after the treatment? You'll need to avoid clips, ponytails, or any hair accessories during the no-wash period (usually 48–72 hours). After that, you can style your hair as normal. Do I need a consultation first? We offer free 15-minute consultations for all new clients. It's a great opportunity to discuss your hair history, goals, and whether keratin smoothing is the right choice for you.
