Hair Smoothening vs Straightening

Two different treatments, often confused for one

Smoothening and straightening are often used interchangeably, but they work differently. Smoothening relaxes frizz while keeping some natural movement in your hair, while straightening chemically breaks and reshapes the hair bond for a permanently pin-straight finish. Knowing the difference helps you pick the right one for your hair goals.

What's Included
