Unlike traditional straightening methods, protein hair straightening works by restoring proteins into the hair structure, leaving hair softer, shinier and easier to manage. In this case study, we look at how the treatment works, the results our clients see and how to look after your hair afterwards.
What is protein hair straightening?
Protein hair straightening is a semi permanent smoothing treatment that strengthens the hair while reducing frizz and curl. Unlike chemical relaxers, which break the hair’s bonds, it works by infusing proteins into the hair shaft. The result is healthier, shinier, straighter hair that is easier to style.
It is ideal for frizzy, damaged or over processed hair, and it improves the look of your hair without causing long term damage.
Prices: Glamaholic Protein, Kaviar Protein, Amazon Protein (for Afro hair), Crystal Protein and Hair Botox are all from £150. Every protein treatment starts with a free Protein Consultation, so your hair can be checked and priced. See our protein and keratin treatment page for more details.
5 key benefits of protein hair straightening
- Frizz free hair: smooths the hair and reduces frizz and flyaways.
- Stronger hair: infuses the hair with proteins to help repair damage.
- Natural shine: leaves hair with a glossy finish.
- Easier styling: smoother hair makes styling quicker and easier.
- A gentler option: formaldehyde free and gentler than harsh chemical treatments.
The treatment process
Before your appointment
- Stop using any products on your hair, such as oils or serums, for one week before your treatment, as they can affect the result.
- Come with clean hair, washed the day before with shampoo only and no conditioner.
On the day
- Consultation: we assess your hair and talk through the result you want.
- Application: the protein treatment chosen for your hair is applied section by section.
- Processing and sealing: the treatment is left to process, then blow dried and flat ironed to seal it in.
- Wash and reveal: we wash your hair in the salon when the treatment is finished and show you the result straight away.
Aftercare for protein hair straightening
You can wash your hair and shower at any time after your treatment, as we wash your hair in the salon before you leave.
