Keratin Smoothing (2nd Phase)

What Keratin Smoothing (2nd Phase) includes

This appointment is all about locking in the smoothing effect and finishing with hair that behaves better between washes.

• A quick check-in on how your hair has felt since phase one and the finish you want.
• A controlled rinse and cleanse to remove any residue and prep the hair for sealing.
• Blow-drying with direction and tension to encourage a smoother lay of the hair.
• Heat sealing with straighteners, working in sections to set the finish through the mid-lengths and ends.
• Finishing products applied for shine, smoothness and humidity control.
• Clear aftercare advice to help the result last as long as possible.

Keratin Smoothing (2nd Phase): how the sealing stage works

The second phase is the “set” stage. Your hair is dried and then sealed with heat so the smoothing effect is consistent through the lengths, not just on the surface. The aim is less puffiness, fewer flyaways and hair that looks smoother even when you let it air-dry.

Who usually books Keratin Smoothing (2nd Phase)

This appointment is most relevant if you:

• Have hair that expands in damp weather or goes fluffy at the roots and ends.
• Spend a long time blow-drying and still struggle to get a smooth finish.
• Want hair that stays neater between wash days with less daily straightening.
• Have wavy or curly hair and want it more relaxed and easier to shape (not necessarily poker-straight).

After the second phase: getting the most from your keratin smoothing

To keep the finish looking its best, use a gentle, smoothing shampoo and conditioner and avoid harsh clarifying washes unless advised. Keep heat styling sensible and use heat protection if you blow-dry or straighten. If you are planning a colour change, mention it when booking so the timing can be arranged around your smoothing result.
