Keratin and smoothing treatments reduce frizz, add shine, and soften texture by infusing the hair with proteins, amino acids, and nourishing ingredients. Depending on the formula, they can: Reduce frizz up to 100% Straighten or soften curls Add long-lasting shine Seal cuticle damage Make hair easier to style Speed up blowdrying time The results typically last 3–6 months depending on the treatment and home care.
