Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment Works its Shiny Hair Magic
Do you find every day a battle to smooth the frizz and fight with uneven curls? Yes? Then we promise that investing in a Kerasilk Smoothing treatment at our Cardiff salon will completely change your hair game! Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment is dubbed by Marie Claire as ‘Freedom from frizz, once and for all.’ And they are not wrong! In this blogpost we answer your common questions about Kerasilk…
The Kerasilk Smoothing treatment is our absolute favourite long-lasting keratin hair treatment to control frizz and make your hair manageable. Here at Simon Constantinou’s, we are proud to be a Kerasilk salon. These professional products deliver results every time. The Kerasilk range is plant-based, fusing the power of superior ingredients to deliver powerful transformations. It combines Kerasilk’s exclusive Biomimetic Silk and carefully selected high-potency ingredients & enhancers to create hair as strong as it is beautiful.
Unlike a traditional Brazilian blowout, the Kerasilk Smoothing treatment does not use formaldehyde. That said, it’s not chemical-free but it uses much gentler chemicals.
In addition to the fabulous results, Kerasilk is 100% vegan and certified climate neutral.
It is free from microplastics, and UV filters. All Kerasilk essentials are silicone-free and all shampoos are sulfate-free.
Is a Kerasilk Treatment for You?
This treatment’s main purpose is to change the texture of the hair – rather than straightening curls and waves. Perfect if your issue is actually just with frizz or hard to manage curls. If you still enjoy the ability to both straighten or curl your hair, then this treatment gives you that flexibility. Best of both worlds!
It’s also great for those who are short on time or those who hit the gym regularly, as you’ll find it super quick to blow dry your hair, or better still leave it dry naturally!
We know that hair can become frizzy during the humid summer or the drizzly winter, this treatment takes away the worry of turning into Monika from TV show, Friends, shouting ‘It’s the humidity!’ to explain the sudden growth of her usually tame locks.
Basically, if you’re happy with your waves and curls but would love to cut down on frizz (and loosen your texture), a Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment is for you.
What Can You Expect in Your Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment Appointment?
A Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment takes about three hours from start to finish. But this does depend on how long or thick your hair is. Time to be pampered and a great opportunity to have a little self-care me-time!
First, your stylist will determine the level of strength your hair type requires and will discuss what level of curl you would like to maintain.
Then your hair will be washed with Kerasilk Control Shampoo to remove any build up of product. Then your hair will be blow dried with fingers or Kerasilk Paddle Brush until it’s about 80 % dry. (This is the point where you feel a little bit Hagrid from Harry Potter.)
Next your stylist will apply the Kerasilk Keratin formula section-by-section (root to tip)
This will be left to process for 15 minutes, either rinsed off for a medium service or left in for an intense service. It is then blow-dried using a specialist Kerasilk brush. Paddle or round brush, depending on whether you have fine-normal or coarse hair.
Next it gets a bit steamy! This is the thermal-activation part of the process. Your stylist will use specialist high-temperature Kerasilk flat irons to straighten the hair section-by-section, repeating up to 6 strokes on one section. At this point, your hair will feel dead straight, but this isn’t the finished result.
Next your will have a further shampoo to wash out the solution with the respective Kerasilk Control Shampoo and Kerasilk Control Finishing Cream Serum is applied to seal the achieved end result.
This next blow dry is super fast, due to the amazing results of this treatment.
The end results will be smooth and silky, and bet that you will strut out of the salon feeling like you are in a hair product commercial! Swish swish!
By using the Kerasilk home care products, you prolong the smoothening effect and they will make your daily styling routine a great experience until your next salon visit.
Does Kerasilk Straighten Hair?
Whilst this treatment isn’t a straightening treatment, you do have the option to reduce your curl structure. We find that for many clients, curls can be loosened into waves, making hair easier to blow dry or leave dry naturally for a beachy look.
It is important to tell your stylist if you want to keep your curl structure. We understand that not every client wants straight hair. We can advise the best formula and procedure for the client’s wish.
So, Can I Keep My Curls?
Yes you can! There are two strengths of this treatment. Medium eliminates the frizz and maintains the curl and volume. The intense option eliminates frizz and stretches out your curl/wave structure.
For those who have straight hair, the treatment will still eliminate the frizz, fly-aways and stray cowlicks. Think of it as a constant blow dry, but without the salon visit!

Is Kerasilk Treatment Ok to Use on Colour-Treated Hair?
The beauty of the Kerasilk treatment is that it has restorative properties, so it can actually improve the texture and condition of coloured hair to some extent. It is worth noting that the heat process of this treatment can sometimes lift a little of your colour, so it is better to time the treatment before you are due a colour refresh. It is possible to book a semi-permanent colour straight after your treatment, but it’s advisable to wait up to 2 weeks before applying highlights, bleach or semi-permanent colour.

How Do I Care for My Kerasilk Treatment?
In the first 24 hours is it advised not to wash your hair, avoid swimming and avoid using a hair bobble to put your hair up, as this can create unwanted kinks. Although, in all likelihood, you will wait as long as possible to wash your hair to make this amazing feeling last!
But the upkeep is super easy! Just continue to use the Kerasilk Control Shampoo and Conditioner(about 3-4 times a week) and let it air dry or blow dry.
