Who Keratin Smoothing Is For
Keratin smoothing helps most hair that frizzes, puffs up or takes too long to blow-dry. Here’s what it can do for you.
Frizzy Hair
Smooths the outer layer of each strand, so hair looks sleek and shiny instead of fuzzy, even on humid Central Texas days.
Long Blow-Dries
If drying your hair takes forever, keratin can cut that time down a lot and make air-drying an easier option.
Thick, Hard-to-Manage Hair
Softens bulk and puffiness, so thick hair feels lighter, lies flatter and is much easier to style.
Color-Treated and Blonde Hair
Colored and lightened hair can be smoothed too. We check its condition first and adjust the service to protect your color.
Curly and Wavy Hair
Relaxes frizz while keeping some of your natural movement. Want to keep your curls? We’ll tell you how much smoothing to expect.
Want It Fully Straight?
Keratin smooths but doesn’t make hair permanently straight. For pin-straight hair that lasts, ask about Japanese straightening.
Not sure which one you need? We check your hair and help you choose.

Questions
Keratin Smoothing Questions, Answered
What is a Keratin Complex treatment, and how does it help my hair?
It’s a professional salon treatment that smooths the outer layer of the hair. Hair becomes smoother, shinier and easier to manage, which cuts down on styling time and tames frizz.
How long does a Keratin Complex treatment last?
Usually three to five months, depending on your hair type and how you care for it. Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners help it last longer. Read how often to get a keratin treatment.
Is Keratin Complex safe for all hair types?
Keratin Complex suits most hair types, including color-treated and blonde hair. Your stylist will check your hair’s condition first and tell you honestly if it’s right for you. Curious about smoothing products in general? The FDA explains what to ask about hair smoothing products.
How long does the treatment take at Capelli Salon Austin?
Usually two to three hours, depending on your hair type, length and thickness. We start with a consultation to understand your hair’s needs.
Will it make my hair completely straight?
No. It reduces curl and frizz and makes hair easier to manage, but your natural texture isn’t permanently changed. For straight hair that lasts, see Japanese hair straightening at our Dallas salon.
Can I color my hair before or after the treatment?
Yes. For the best results, color first. If you color after the treatment, wait at least two weeks so both the color and the smoothing last longer.
How soon can I wash my hair afterwards?
Wait at least 72 hours before washing, and for the first three days avoid tying your hair up, tucking it behind your ears or using clips, so the treatment can set without creases.
What products should I use afterwards?
Shampoos and conditioners free of sulfates and sodium chloride. Our Austin stylists can recommend the best products for your hair and scalp.
Is it safe if I’m pregnant?
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, please check with your doctor before any smoothing treatment. We’re happy to suggest gentler options in the meantime.
