Professional hair straightening typically lasts three to six months, depending on your hair type, texture and aftercare routine. Using sulphate-free shampoos, avoiding excessive heat and applying leave-in conditioners can help maintain the smoothness for longer. Regular trims also prevent split ends, keeping your hair healthy and prolonging the straightened effect.

Yes, hair straightening can be done on coloured or bleached hair, but it requires careful assessment by a trained stylist. The condition of the hair determines the type of straightening system used. Professionals often use gentle, bond-protecting products to minimise damage. Hydrating treatments before and after the service help maintain strength and shine.

It’s best to wait at least 48 to 72 hours before washing your hair after a straightening treatment. This allows the bonds or smoothing agents to fully set. Washing too soon can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Once you do wash, use gentle, sulphate-free products to preserve smoothness and prevent frizz.
