We recommend a consultation before your hair treatment so that we can look at your hair and then help you book the right treatment.
Afro relaxer: A treatment for afro-textured or very curly hair that makes the hair straighter, smoother and easier to style.
Keratin treatment: A nourishing treatment that reduces frizz and makes the hair softer, shinier and easier to style.
Texturizer treatment: A treatment that softens curls, reduces volume and can be adjusted for looser curls or a straighter result.
Always tell us about any previous colouring, bleaching, relaxers, texturizer or other chemical treatments. Follow the instructions for your specific treatment: before a keratin treatment or afro relaxer your hair may need to be clean, while a texturizer usually requires that you do not wash your hair for about 4–5 days beforehand.
We start by assessing your hair and going through the result you want. Then the treatment is applied step by step, adapted to your hair type, and finished with nourishing products and light styling.
Use moisturising, gentle products after the treatment. Avoid excessive heat styling, use hair masks regularly and follow the salon's advice on washing, styling and when you can colour or treat your hair again.
Comparison of smoothing hair treatments
| Treatment | Suits you if you | Result | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Afro relaxer | have afro-textured or very curly hair and want a straighter result (wears on your own hair) | Longer-lasting straighter hair on the treated lengths | Straight, smooth and more manageable hair |
| Keratin treatment | have frizzy, dry, curly or hard-to-style hair | Less frizz, more shine and softer hair | Shine, control and easier styling |
| Texturizer treatment | have curly, tightly curled or afro-textured hair and want to soften the texture | Softened curls and less volume – can even be made fully straight | Softer curls and a more manageable texture |
Frequently asked questions about smoothing treatments
Our Afro relaxer chemically breaks down and rebuilds the hair's bonds. This gives a lasting straight texture that holds its shape whatever the humidity.
We use gentle chemical relaxers enriched with nourishing ingredients. This is essential to protect the hair and minimise damage during the treatment.
Your hair can be heat-styled as usual after the treatment. It's important, though, to always apply a good heat protectant to avoid unnecessary wear.
This treatment is mainly suited to strong, textured hair. For very thin or sensitive hair, we recommend an initial consultation first to make sure it's safe.
The treatment can be done on Afro-textured hair of any length. The result often makes hair look much longer because the curls are smoothed out.
The treatment barely affects your natural hair colour, but freshly coloured hair may lose a little pigment. We therefore recommend always planning your colour appointments carefully.
Yes, you can colour your hair after a relaxer. Wait at least two weeks, though, and use gentle colours so you don't overload the hair.
The result on the treated lengths is permanent and doesn't wash out. You only need to book touch-ups for the regrowth every six to eight weeks.
Unlike a keratin treatment, which gives a semi-permanent, frizz-free result, a relaxer permanently changes the hair's texture. It's the very best choice if you want poker-straight hair.
Sleep in a satin bonnet or on a silk pillowcase to reduce unnecessary friction. This keeps the hair soft and stops it tangling overnight.
