Textured hair is a tightly wound pattern that forms small, spring-like coils. It often grows densely, tangles quickly, and responds strongly to changes in moisture and climate. Because this texture is more prone to breakage and shrinkage, it requires highly specific care that strengthens the hair without compromising curl identity.
A keratin treatment must address not only frizz but dryness, fragility, and detangling. At SMOOTHED, we approach this hair type with both science and respect. We offer non-toxic, formaldehyde-free solutions that support elasticity, reduce styling stress, and help preserve the health of your strands—one treatment at a time.
Keratin is a naturally occurring protein in the hair shaft that gives it structure and durability. When that protein becomes depleted—through heat styling, permanent chemical treatments, or mechanical stress—the hair weakens, becomes brittle, and struggles to retain moisture.
A keratin treatment for textured hair replenishes lost protein and reinforces the cuticle, allowing it to retain hydration and resist environmental damage. The treatment is sealed into the hair with gentle heat, which smoothes roughness and reduces excess volume while maintaining shape. At SMOOTHED, we use only safe, formaldehyde-free blends suitable for tightly coiled hair types.
The result is stronger, more flexible hair with less frizz, more hydration retention, and easier daily maintenance.
Kinky-coily hair varies widely in porosity, density, and strength. It can be fine or coarse, low or high in elasticity, and may need reinforcement in different ways depending on its history. That’s why every textured hair treatment at SMOOTHED begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess what your hair truly needs.
Our treatment options include:
Each formula is chosen with care, ensuring your treatment protects the integrity of your texture, goals, and lifestyle—not a generic outcome.
Book Your Keratin Treatment for textured Hair TodayTextured hair deserves more than just a surface-level solution. At SMOOTHED, we’ve built our salon around one purpose: providing the safest, most effective keratin treatments available in California. We don’t offer keratin as an option—we specialize in it exclusively.
Here’s what sets us apart:
No. When applied correctly using non-toxic, formaldehyde-free formulas, a keratin treatment for kinky hair will not permanently alter your curl pattern. You may see some elongation and reduced shrinkage, but your coils remain intact. Our goal is to support definition and manageability—not to erase your texture. If your desired outcome includes curl loosening, we can adjust the formula and heat level to achieve that carefully.
Yes! Kinky-coily textures are prone to tangles and single-strand knots due to the tight curvature of each coil. A well-formulated treatment smooths the hair’s outer layer, helping it glide more easily during styling and reducing friction that causes knots. 100% of clients report easier detangling and fewer tangles in protective styles after treatment
Yes. Our keratin treatment for kinky hair is safe and effective on 4C textures when matched to the correct formula and applied by a trained specialist. Because 4C hair is more fragile and tightly coiled, it requires extra care during product selection, heat application, and timing. At SMOOTHED, we assess your hair in detail before every treatment to ensure the safest outcome.
It often does. Clients who wear twists, braids, or wigs after receiving a treatment typically experience easier parting, smoother installation, and longer-lasting neatness. Because the hair becomes less reactive to humidity and friction, protective styles stay fresher longer and are easier to maintain between salon visits.
To get the most out of your keratin treatment for coily hair, avoid harsh shampoos, excessive heat, and heavy oils or butters that can block absorption. Use sulfate-free products, deep condition regularly, and wear a silk or satin bonnet or scarf at night. Your stylist will give you personalized advice to help maintain moisture, strength, and curl definition post-treatment.
Yes, there are potential risks—but they are preventable with the right approach. The most common concerns include protein overload, curl loosening, dryness, and breakage. These risks are often the result of high-heat application, formaldehyde-based products, or incorrect formula choice. Kinky-coily hair is highly textured and often more fragile, which means it requires specific care and precision.
At SMOOTHED, every keratin treatment for textured hair is non-toxic, formaldehyde-free, and customized to your exact texture and condition. We assess your hair thoroughly before application to avoid any adverse effects and ensure your results are both safe and effective.
