Keratin vs Smoothening – Which One Should You Choose?

💆‍♀️ Keratin vs Smoothening – Which One Should You Choose?

Tired of frizz, dryness or unruly hair? Wondering whether Keratin or Hair Smoothening is the right treatment for you?

At Green Trends Ashok Nagar, we get this question all the time—and the answer depends on your hair type, goals, and maintenance preferences.

Here’s a complete guide to help you choose the best treatment for frizz-free, manageable hair.


🌟 What is a Keratin Treatment?

A Keratin treatment infuses your hair with the natural protein keratin, making it smoother, shinier, and stronger. It repairs damaged strands and improves texture without making your hair poker-straight.

✅ Best for:

  • Frizzy and dry hair

  • Damaged or chemically treated hair

  • Wavy hair you want to maintain (not make fully straight)

  • People who want natural-looking smoothness


✨ What is Hair Smoothening?

Hair Smoothening uses chemical relaxants like formaldehyde derivatives to break hair bonds and straighten the hair shaft. It gives a sleeker, straight finish and is more long-lasting than keratin.

✅ Best for:

  • Very curly or unmanageable hair

  • People wanting straight hair with no waves

  • Those okay with chemical treatments for longer-lasting results


🔍 Key Differences at a Glance:

Feature Keratin Treatment Hair Smoothening
Purpose Nourish and smooth hair Chemically straighten hair
Result Natural finish, reduced frizz Sleek, pin-straight hair
Hair Type Dry, frizzy, damaged Thick, curly, coarse hair
Chemicals Used Fewer, less harsh Stronger chemicals
Hair Health Improves May damage over time
Longevity 2–4 months 3–6 months
Cost Slightly higher Slightly lower

💬 What Our Experts at Green Trends Say

“If you're looking to improve hair texture and manageability, go for Keratin. If you want a drastic straight look, Smoothening is better. We assess hair condition before recommending the ideal treatment,” says our stylist from Green Trends Ashok Nagar.


🧴 Aftercare Tips for Both:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner

  • Avoid tying your hair tightly for 2–3 days post-treatment

  • Don’t wash hair for 48 hours after treatment

  • Regular touch-ups every 3–4 months for best results
