What is a smoothing treatment?

A smoothing treatment is designed to reduce frizz, improve manageability, add shine, and create smoother, healthier-looking hair. Unlike traditional straightening services, smoothing treatments help soften the hair while maintaining natural movement and body.
 

What is the difference between Keratin and Qiqi Hair Control?

Keratin treatments are designed to smooth frizz, reduce styling time, and improve hair manageability while maintaining natural volume and movement. Qiqi Hair Control is a more advanced treatment that can permanently reshape the hair structure, creating a significantly straighter result while still maintaining softness and shine.
 

Is a Keratin treatment worth it?

If you struggle with frizz, humidity, excessive styling time, or hair that feels difficult to manage, a Keratin treatment can be a game changer. Many clients find they spend less time styling their hair while enjoying smoother, shinier, and more manageable results for months after their appointment.
 

Which smoothing treatment is right for me?

The best treatment depends on your hair type, styling goals, and desired result. If you're looking to reduce frizz and make styling easier, a Keratin treatment may be ideal. If you want a straighter, more permanent result, Qiqi Hair Control may be the better option. Our team can recommend the most suitable treatment during your consultation.
 

Will a smoothing treatment make my hair completely straight?

Not necessarily. Keratin treatments primarily smooth and soften the hair while reducing frizz. Qiqi Hair Control can achieve a much straighter result. The final outcome depends on your natural texture, hair condition, and chosen treatment.
 

How long does a Keratin treatment last?

Most Keratin treatments last between 3 and 5 months with the correct home care routine. Results can vary depending on hair type, lifestyle, and maintenance.
 

How long does Qiqi Hair Control last?

Qiqi Hair Control permanently reshapes the treated hair. As your natural hair grows, new growth will return with its original texture, meaning maintenance appointments may be recommended depending on your desired result.
 

Will a smoothing treatment damage my hair?

When performed professionally and tailored to your hair type, smoothing treatments are designed to improve the appearance and manageability of the hair. During your consultation, we'll assess your hair and recommend the safest treatment option for your goals.
 

Can I colour my hair before or after a smoothing treatment?

Yes. In most cases, colour and smoothing services can be performed together or scheduled appropriately to achieve the best result. Your stylist will recommend the ideal timing based on your hair and treatment plan.
 

Will a smoothing treatment reduce frizz?

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of both Keratin and Qiqi treatments is a significant reduction in frizz, helping your hair stay smoother and more manageable even in humidity.
 

How much styling time will a smoothing treatment save?

Many clients find their blow-drying and styling time is reduced dramatically after a smoothing treatment. Hair becomes easier to manage, dries faster, and generally requires less effort to achieve a polished finish.
 

Can I still curl my hair after a smoothing treatment?

Yes. Most clients can still curl and style their hair after a smoothing treatment. Keratin treatments maintain natural movement, while Qiqi-treated hair may require additional styling to hold curls depending on how straight the result is.
 

Is a smoothing treatment suitable for curly hair?

Yes. Both Keratin and Qiqi treatments can be suitable for curly or textured hair. The right treatment will depend on whether you want to soften your curls, reduce frizz, or significantly straighten your hair.
 

How should I care for my hair after a smoothing treatment?

Using salon-recommended sulphate-free products, minimising harsh chemical services, and following your stylist's aftercare advice will help maximise the longevity of your results.
 

Can smoothing treatments help with humidity?

Absolutely. Smoothing treatments are popular because they help control frizz and improve manageability, even during humid weather conditions.
 

How long does the appointment take?

Treatment times vary depending on your hair length, thickness, and chosen service. Most smoothing treatment appointments take between 2 and 4 hours.
 

Is Qiqi Hair Control a chemical straightening treatment?

Qiqi Hair Control uses advanced technology to permanently reshape the hair structure, creating smoother, straighter, and more manageable hair. During your consultation, we'll explain the process and determine whether it's suitable for your hair goals.
 

Can I have a smoothing treatment and hair extensions?

In many cases, yes. We'll assess your hair and extensions during your consultation to ensure the chosen treatment is suitable and safe for both.
 

How much does a smoothing treatment cost?

The cost varies depending on your hair length, thickness, and the treatment selected. We'll provide a personalised quote during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
