Smoothing Treatments in Benwood, WV

Frizz, humidity and daily styling battles are the reasons most people look into a smoothing treatment. At Mane Escape Studio the primary option is Amika Pro Smooth, performed by an artist who is certified in the system. Keratherapy keratin smoothing treatments are also available. Both leave hair smoother, shinier and easier to manage without permanently altering its natural character.

What these treatments are and how they work

Emily is officially Amika Pro Smooth Certified and she is ready to help you fall in love with your hair. In her words: if humidity, frizz, or endless styling has you frustrated, Amika Pro Smooth is the perfect solution. This professional smoothing treatment helps reduce frizz, cut down on styling time, and leaves your hair feeling soft, shiny, and more manageable for six to eight weeks.

• Perfect for curly, wavy, or straight hair
• Reduces frizz without making your hair flat
• Makes blow-drying and everyday styling easier
• Safe for color-treated hair
• Results last six to eight weeks with proper home care

Keratherapy offers professional keratin smoothing and conditioning treatments that replenish keratin, reduce frizz and improve manageability. A consultation is the starting point so your artist can determine whether the hair is a good candidate and which system makes the most sense.

Who smoothing treatments suit and who they may not

These services suit people whose hair is chronically frizzy, hard to control in humidity, or simply takes too long to style every day. They are useful for clients who want a smoother finish without a permanent chemical straightener.

They are less ideal if the hair is already very porous or over-processed, or if the client wants zero change in texture. The artist will evaluate the hair health and history before recommending a treatment.

What the appointment is like

You will discuss how your hair behaves, any previous chemical work and the level of smoothness you are hoping for. The process involves clarifying, applying the product, processing, and finishing with heat. Your artist will tell you how long to allow when you book, and will give you aftercare instructions before you leave.

Maintaining the results

After an Amika Pro Smooth treatment, do not wash the hair for twenty four hours. After that, use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to help the results last. Chlorine will strip a smoothing treatment quickly, so wet the hair with clean water and apply conditioner before swimming.

Keep using a heat protectant on every heat styling session, and a weekly hydrating mask helps keep the hair conditioned. Your artist can recommend the products that work best with the system she used.

A lightweight finishing oil such as Amika Superfruit Star is an easy way to add shine and keep the ends smooth between washes without weighing the hair down. It sits on the retail shelf at the studio alongside the rest of the Amika line.
