Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hair smoothing treatment?
A hair smoothing treatment is designed to reduce frizz, soften the hair and make it more manageable. It helps smooth the hair cuticle, making your hair look shinier, feel healthier and easier to style, without permanently changing your natural texture.
What are the benefits of hair smoothing?
Hair smoothing helps reduce frizz, improve shine, cut down styling time and make hair feel softer and more controlled. Many clients find their hair is easier to blow-dry, holds styles better and looks healthier overall after a smoothing treatment.
Is hair smoothing the same as straightening?
No. Hair smoothing does not permanently straighten the hair. Instead, it relaxes and smooths the hair to reduce frizz and flyaways. You’ll still be able to wear your hair natural, wavy or styled, just with a smoother finish.
How long does a hair smoothing treatment last?
Results usually last between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on your hair type, how often you wash it and the products you use at home. Using the right aftercare products will help the results last as long as possible.
Is hair smoothing suitable for coloured hair?
Yes. Hair smoothing treatments can be suitable for coloured or highlighted hair and can actually help improve shine and condition. During your consultation at Macadamia Hair Spa, we’ll assess your hair and confirm the best approach for you.
Will hair smoothing damage my hair?
When carried out professionally, hair smoothing should not damage the hair. We use high-quality formulas and tailor the treatment to your hair’s condition. The aim is always to improve how your hair looks and feels, not compromise it.
How long does a hair smoothing appointment take?
A hair smoothing appointment typically takes between 2 and 3 hours, depending on hair length, thickness and texture. We’ll talk you through the process and timings before starting so you know exactly what to expect.
Can hair smoothing help with frizz caused by humidity?
Yes. Hair smoothing is particularly effective at controlling frizz caused by humidity. While no treatment can completely block moisture in the air, smoothing treatments significantly reduce the impact, helping your hair stay sleeker for longer.
How should I look after my hair after a smoothing treatment?
We’ll recommend suitable shampoos, conditioners and aftercare to help maintain your results. Avoiding harsh products and excessive heat will help keep your hair smooth, shiny and manageable between appointments.
How do I book a hair smoothing treatment?
You can book your hair smoothing appointment online, by phone on 0151 420 5656 or in the salon. If you’re unsure whether hair smoothing is right for you, our team is happy to advise and arrange a consultation before booking.
