Keratin and Smoothing Aftercare: How to Make It Last
The Cutting Edge Hair DesignShare
By The Cutting Edge Hair Design
You invested in smooth, frizz-free, easy-to-style hair, and a little aftercare is what makes it last. Whether you had a Lasio Keratin, a Brazilian Blowout or Magic Sleek with us, the first week and the products you use at home make all the difference.
Switch to sulfate-free care
This is the single most important step. Sulfates and sodium chloride strip a smoothing treatment out faster, so swap to a sulfate-free, salt-free shampoo and conditioner. We carry Moroccanoil care that pairs well with smoothing and point you to the right one for your hair.
Be gentle the first few days
Right after your service the treatment is still settling. Follow the wait time we give you before the first wash, and avoid tight ponytails and clips that leave dents. Keep hot tools at a moderate temperature. Small habits in the first week decide how long it holds.
Mind your water and the elements
Hard water, chlorine and salt water all shorten the life of any smoothing service. Rinse after the pool or beach, and if your water is very hard, a shower filter helps. Let us guide any clarifying so you do not overdo it.
Coordinate with your color
If you color your hair too, the order matters. We often plan color before a smoothing service so they complement each other. See our keratin and smoothing services.

How long does a smoothing treatment last?
It depends on the treatment, your hair and your aftercare. Sulfate-free products and gentle washing help it last as long as possible. We give you a realistic range for the service you choose.
How soon can I wash my hair after?
It varies by treatment. Some require waiting before the first wash and others do not. We give you specific instructions for the service you had.
Will it make my hair stick straight?
Not unless you want that. Treatments range from frizz reduction with your natural texture intact to a fully smooth finish, and we match the service to your goal.
