The First 48 Hours: Crucial
The first two days after your treatment are crucial for the result's longevity. Here are the golden rules to follow:
Don't Wash Your Hair
Wait at least 48 hours (72 hours for optimal results) before the first shampoo. This time allows the treatment to set properly in the hair fiber.
Avoid Humidity
No pool, no bath, no sauna. Humidity could compromise the treatment's setting process. Protect your hair in the shower with a shower cap.
Keep Hair Down
Don't make ponytails, buns or braids. Any mark on the hair could become permanent during this setting period.
The Right Shampoo: Your Best Ally
Choosing the right shampoo is essential to preserve your smoothing:
- Sulfate-free: aggressive sulfates strip the treatment quickly
- Salt-free (sodium chloride): salt breaks keratin bonds
- Neutral or acidic pH: to close cuticles and maintain shine
- Gentle formula: prefer "post-smoothing" or "treated hair" shampoos
The Ideal Washing Frequency
The less you wash your hair, the longer your treatment lasts. Ideally, limit to 2-3 washes per week. Between shampoos, use a quality dry shampoo to absorb excess sebum.
Washing Technique
- Wet your hair with lukewarm water (never hot)
- Apply shampoo gently massaging the scalp
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
- Finish with a cold water rinse to seal the cuticles

Book an appointmentHydration and Nutrition: Essential Gestures
A smoothing treatment can slightly dry the hair. Compensate with a suitable hydration routine:
Weekly Mask
Once a week, apply a nourishing leave-in mask or a rich mask that you'll leave on for 15-20 minutes. Prefer formulas based on natural vegetable oils.
Protective Oils
A few drops of argan or camellia oil on the lengths (avoid roots) provide shine and protection. Apply on damp hair before drying.

Heat and Styling: Precautions
Drying
Dry your hair on medium temperature directing the air from root to tip. Air drying is even better if you have time.
Straightening and Curling
If you use a flat iron or curling iron, never exceed 180°C and always apply a heat protectant spray before.
