Silky Results That Last Through Summer

Schedule Smoothing Treatments in Crofton

You're tired of spending thirty minutes with a flat iron every morning only to watch your hair puff up the moment you step outside. Humidity in Crofton can undo a fresh blowout in minutes, but smoothing treatments give you frizz reduction, keratin-like smoothing, heat-activated smoothing, humidity control, and a long-lasting silk finish that holds through rain, sweat, and air conditioning.

Dionne Christina Hairstylist applies protein-based formulas that bond to the hair shaft, reducing curl pattern without eliminating natural movement. Sessions typically last two to three hours depending on hair density, and results can last up to twelve weeks with sulfate-free shampoo and minimal heat styling between appointments.

Book your smoothing session in Crofton and cut your daily styling time in half while keeping your hair soft and manageable.

How Our Process Works

Your appointment begins with a clarifying shampoo that strips buildup and opens the cuticle, allowing the smoothing formula to penetrate evenly. In Crofton, most clients with color-treated or chemically relaxed hair receive a gentler formula to avoid over-processing. The stylist applies the treatment in quarter-inch sections, combing it through from root to tip and letting it sit for twenty to thirty minutes under a processing cap.

Once the timer goes off, your hair is rinsed with cool water and towel-dried before blow-drying on medium heat. Dionne Christina Hairstylist then flat irons each section at 400 degrees to activate the smoothing agents and lock in the treatment. The heat seals the cuticle and creates that glass-like finish you see in salon photos.

After the flat iron pass, your hair is styled with a paddle brush and finished with a lightweight serum that adds shine without weighing down the strands. You'll leave with instructions to avoid washing for 48 hours and to sleep on a silk pillowcase to preserve the treatment during the curing period.

What's Included in This Service

Clients in Crofton often ask about aftercare, longevity, and whether they can still use hot tools once the treatment is applied, so here's what you need to know before your appointment.

How long will the smoothing treatment last before I need a retouch?
Most clients see results for ten to twelve weeks, though longevity depends on how often you wash your hair and whether you use sulfate-free products. Chlorine and saltwater can shorten the lifespan.
Can I still curl or flat iron my hair after the treatment is applied?
Yes, you can use hot tools once the 48-hour curing period is over. The treatment makes styling faster because your hair is already smooth, so you'll need less heat and fewer passes to achieve your desired look.
Will the treatment make my hair completely straight or just reduce frizz?
It reduces frizz and loosens your curl pattern without making your hair bone-straight. You'll still have body and movement, but the texture will be softer and more manageable in humid conditions.
What shampoo and conditioner should I use to maintain the treatment?
Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner without sodium chloride. These formulas are gentler and won't strip the smoothing agents from your hair during weekly washes.
Is there any downtime after the appointment or can I go back to my routine right away?
You'll need to avoid washing, sweating heavily, or pulling your hair into tight ponytails for 48 hours. After that, you can return to your normal routine with the added benefit of faster styling and less frizz.

Clients across Crofton who follow the aftercare routine report smoother hair, faster morning prep, and fewer touch-ups throughout the week. Contact us now to reserve your smoothing treatment and enjoy lasting silk results even on the most humid days.
