Keratin & Hair Smoothing Treatments in Abingdon
Do you struggle with frizzy, unmanageable or out-of-control hair? We offer 72 Hair’s keratin treatments — pHrizzy-o-therapy and Smoothing Cream — two treatments that deliver results without the damage or harsh chemicals. The formula strengthens, softens, eliminates frizz, and is vegan and cruelty-free.
The two work differently: pHrizzy-o-therapy is the answer for unmanageable, frizzy or out-of-control hair — it complements your hair’s natural structure, so you keep your curls but lose the frizz. Smoothing Cream works more like a straightening treatment or Brazilian blow dry (minus the harsh chemicals), with one end result: straight hair. Both are progressive — the more treatments you have, the better and longer-lasting the results.
If you’re considering a treatment but aren’t sure it’s right for you, we’re happy to help. We offer free, no-obligation in-salon consultations to talk through your options, answer your questions and check availability. To book one, call or WhatsApp us on 01235 534705.
What is a pHrizzy-o-therapy treatment?
pHrizzy-o-therapy is a keratin treatment that controls frizz, speeds up drying time and makes hair far more manageable — all without compromising your hair’s natural form. So if you already have curls, think curls minus the unwanted frizz.
- Frizz control. For anyone struggling with frizzy, unmanageable hair, it tames frizz, calms unruliness and helps with drying time.
- Progressive. The more you have it, the better the results. Manufacturer guidelines suggest every three months, though some clients get up to six months from it.
- Tailored. We can adjust the result to reduce frizz while working with your curl pattern, hair texture and personal preference.
What is a smoothing treatment?
In a nutshell, it’s a gentle formula that leaves your hair straight. If you don’t love your hair’s natural wave, curl or texture, Smoothing Cream gives a smoother overall finish — whereas pHrizzy-o-therapy embraces your natural hair type (minus the frizz).
It’s a great option if you want straighter hair but value hair health. The gentle formula contains no harsh chemicals, making it a kinder alternative to treatments that give comparable results but are harder on the hair.
Should I book pHrizzy-o-therapy or a smoothing treatment?
We tend to ask one question (assuming you have curly or wavy hair): do you like it?
If the answer is yes, it’s straightforward — pHrizzy-o-therapy embraces your natural curl or wave while removing the frizz. If the answer is no, a smoothing treatment for a sleeker, straighter look is likely the better fit. Either way, both deliver a benefit lasting around three months, and both are progressive — the more you keep on top of them, the better the result.
What makes these treatments different to anything else?
For a start, they’re vegan, kind to the hair, and free from the harsh chemicals you might ordinarily associate with smoothing treatments. Both pHrizzy-o-therapy and Smoothing Cream offer progressive results, and unlike some de-frizzing products, they leave hair feeling great and — most importantly — frizz-free.
Why is my hair frizzing?
Frizz can come from several factors: genetics, humidity, hair damage, your natural texture, or over-processed hair. Understanding your hair type is key, and there are options to help balance the hair and make it more manageable. If humidity is the cause, your hair absorbs moisture from the air, leading to excess frizz. Genetics is arguably the most common factor — and that type of frizz can be trickier to manage with ordinary products.
Keratin treatment, Brazilian blow dry or smoothing — which works for you?
Each has its benefits and drawbacks. If your main concern is a poker-straight finish, pHrizzy-o-therapy isn’t designed for that (though it can go some way there) — our Smoothing Cream is the better choice for a genuinely straighter look. But if you like your natural curl pattern and simply want rid of the frizz, pHrizzy-o-therapy wins hands down.
By comparison, traditional keratin treatments may smooth or straighten but can leave a heavier feel, and a Brazilian blow dry, while effective, can be more damaging. Both of our treatments prioritise your hair’s health, without sacrificing the smooth result.
