What is Keratin Hair Smoothing?
Keratin is a naturally occurring protein that helps give hair its strength, elasticity, and protective outer layer. Our Keratin Hair Smoothing treatments work by applying a professional keratin-rich formula that helps smooth the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and improve manageability.
Unlike permanent straightening treatments, keratin smoothing does not permanently alter the structure of your hair. Instead, it leaves you with a smoother, shinier, softer, and easier-to-style version of your natural hair while maintaining movement and versatility.
Who Are Keratin Treatments For & How Long Do They Last?
Keratin Hair Smoothing is ideal for anyone struggling with humidity-induced frizz, unruly hair, or lengthy daily styling routines. It is also perfect for clients who love a sleek, polished finish while still keeping their hair’s natural movement and softness. Many people choose keratin treatments to achieve healthier-looking, shinier, and easier-to-manage hair.
Our smoothing treatments work beautifully on most hair types, and your Ghost stylist will be happy to recommend the best option based on your hair texture, condition, and desired results.
Keratin Hair Smoothing typically lasts around 3–4 months, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. With the right maintenance, you can enjoy smoother, glossier, and more manageable hair for weeks after your appointment.

How long does Keratin Hair Smoothing last
«Results typically last around 3-4 months, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and how well you follow the recommended aftercare routine. Using sulphate-free products can help prolong your smooth, glossy finish.
Is Keratin Hair Smoothing the same as a Brazilian Blow Dry?
«No. While both treatments are designed to reduce frizz and add shine, they work in different ways. A Brazilian Blow Dry typically coats the hair to create a sleek, smooth finish and can often be washed sooner, while a keratin treatment works deeper within the hair to improve manageability, soften texture, and reduce frizz. Your Ghost stylist can recommend the best option for your hair goals.
Will a keratin treatment make my hair completely straight?
«Not necessarily. Keratin Hair Smoothing is designed to soften texture, reduce frizz, and create a smoother finish while maintaining natural movement. Naturally curly or wavy hair may become looser, sleeker, and easier to style rather than poker straight.
Is Keratin Hair Smoothing suitable for coloured hair?
«In many cases, yes. Keratin treatments can work beautifully on coloured or chemically treated hair, helping it feel smoother and look shinier. Your Ghost stylist will assess your hair condition during your consultation.
How soon can I wash my hair after a keratin treatment?
«This depends on the treatment system used. Some keratin treatments require you to wait around 48–72 hours before washing your hair, while others may allow earlier washing. Your stylist will advise the correct aftercare for your treatment.
Is Keratin Hair Smoothing good for frizzy hair?
«Yes. It is one of the most popular salon treatments for tackling frizz, humidity, puffiness, and difficult-to-manage hair, leaving it smoother, glossier, and easier to style.
