More information

What's Included

A focused maintenance service to extend and perfect your previous smoothing results.

  • Personal consultation to assess your hair, previous smoothing and desired finish.
  • Cleanse and prep to optimise product performance.
  • Targeted keratin application on regrowth, hairline and high-frizz zones.
  • Smoothing and heat sealing to lock in results and boost gloss.
  • Professional blow-dry and finish, with tailored home-care guidance.

Who It's For

If you have an existing keratin smoothing and your hair is starting to feel less sleek, this top-up helps you stay polished between full treatments. It is ideal for managing humidity-prone frizz, coarse or wavy textures, and busy routines that need quicker styling.

Suitable for most hair types, including coloured hair. If your hair is very fragile or over-processed, your stylist may suggest a strengthening plan first.

Duration & Appointment Timing

A top-up is typically shorter than a full keratin service. The length of your appointment depends on hair length, density and how much needs refreshing.

Book when your hair begins to feel less smooth, often several weeks after your last smoothing. If more comprehensive work is needed, your stylist will recommend a full service instead.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to help preserve the finish. Rinse after swimming and apply leave-in protection before heat styling.

Dry the hair in a downward direction and use a heat protectant for best results. Avoid tight hair ties immediately afterwards to prevent kinks.

We will advise on first-wash timing and the best home-care routine for your hair. Maintain future top-ups as needed when smoothness starts to soften again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Keratin Smooth Top-Up?
A maintenance service that refreshes your existing keratin smoothing. It targets regrowth and high-frizz zones to restore sleekness, shine and control without a full service.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies with hair type, lifestyle and aftercare. With the right home routine, smoothness and reduced frizz typically hold until your next scheduled smoothing.
Do I need to have had the original treatment at this salon?
No. A top-up can be performed on hair smoothed elsewhere provided the hair is suitable. Your stylist will assess during consultation and advise the best approach.
Will my hair be pin straight?
Keratin smoothing reduces frizz and bulk while keeping natural movement. If you want a very straight result, your stylist may recommend a different service or a full treatment.
Is it safe for coloured or highlighted hair?
The service is generally suitable for coloured and highlighted hair. We tailor the process to protect tone and condition, and will advise if an alternative plan is better.
