Dealing with Frizzy Hair: Do I Need a Straightening or Smoothing Service?

Dealing with Frizzy Hair


Do I Need a Straightening or Smoothing Service from KIKU Salon?

Frizzy, unruly hair can feel like a constant battle.

Whether it’s humidity, coarse textures, or stubborn curls, achieving smooth, controlled hair can sometimes seem impossible. However, with the right treatments, you can take control of your hair and enjoy sleek, frizz-free results.

Below, we’ll break down two excellent options for taming frizzy hair: Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment and Goldwell Structure & Shine, and help you determine which is best suited for your hair type.

The Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment


Control Without Straightening

Purpose
Ideal for frizzy, unruly, or curly hair that needs frizz reduction without full straightening.

How It Works

The Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment contains a powerful combination of silk proteins, glyoxylic acid, and formaldehyde-free smoothing agents. This works to smooth the hair cuticle, which helps reduce frizz and volume.

The treatment’s unique formula binds the hair’s natural structure while conditioning it, leaving the hair soft, shiny, and much easier to manage.

Key Benefits

Long-lasting Results

  • The Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment lasts for up to 5 months, depending on hair type and care.
  • Tames frizz while preserving the natural texture, so you can still enjoy waves or curls without the frizz.
  • Adds softness and shine, making the hair easier to style.
  • Helps reduce the time and effort required for daily styling.

Best For

Clients who want smoother, more manageable hair with reduced frizz, but still wish to maintain their natural curl or wave.

Longevity

Results last for approximately 4-5 months, depending on your hair type and aftercare.

Goldwell Structure & Shine


A Permanent Solution for Straight Hair

Purpose

Ideal for clients who want straight, sleek hair with a permanent solution to frizz and curl.

How It Works

  • Goldwell Structure & Shine uses advanced keratin technology and a cysteamine-based formula to permanently alter the hair’s natural structure. This treatment works by breaking down the disulfide bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a smooth, straight style.
  • It also includes silicone-based ingredients that enhance shine and smoothness, providing a polished, sleek finish.

Key Benefits

  • Permanent Straightening
    Once applied, this treatment permanently alters the structure of your hair, giving you smooth, straight results.
  • Enhances shine and adds a polished finish to the hair.
  • Reduces the need for daily heat styling, as the hair will stay straight and sleek.
  • Improves manageability and reduces frizz for a low-maintenance hairstyle.

Best For

Clients who have tight curls or very textured hair and are looking for a permanent straightening solution with added shine and smoothness.

Important Note: Goldwell Structure & Shine can be used on coloured hair, but not on lightened or bleached hair.

Longevity

The results are permanent and do not fade over time, as the structure of the hair is permanently altered. However, maintenance is recommended every 4-6 months as the natural hair grows and the roots may need touch-ups.

Kerasilk vs. Goldwell Structure & Shine


Which is Right for You?

Here’s a simple breakdown of each treatment’s benefits to help you decide which is best for your hair:

Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment:

  • Best For
    Frizzy, unruly, or curly hair.
  • What It Does
    Reduces frizz and volume without fully straightening.
  • Ideal For
    People who want smooth, manageable hair but prefer to keep some natural texture (waves or curls).
  • How Long It Lasts
    Results last 4-5 months with proper aftercare.

Goldwell Structure & Shine:

  • Best For
    Very curly or textured hair that needs straightening.
  • What It Does
    Permanently straightens hair while enhancing shine.
  • Ideal For
    Clients who want sleek, straight hair without the need for regular styling.
  • Important Note
    Can be used on coloured hair, but not on lightened or bleached hair.
  • How Long It Lasts
    The straightening results are permanent, but maintenance is recommended every 4-6 months to refresh the roots.

Conclusion

  1. Choose Kerasilk if you have frizzy, curly, or unruly hair and want to reduce frizz and volume while maintaining natural texture.
  2. Choose Goldwell Structure & Shine if you’re looking for a permanent solution to achieve straight, sleek hair with minimal styling effort, but keep in mind that it’s not suitable for lightened hair.

Both treatments offer fantastic benefits, and at KIKU Salon, our expert stylists are here to help guide you toward the right treatment for your hair goals, ensuring you leave with the smooth, shiny hair you’ve always wanted!
