How Fabriq Hair Smoothing Works
Fabriq hair smoothing is a professional keratin treatment that deeply conditions and transforms the hair, tackling frizz and bringing back shine.
The formula uses a unique blend of plant-derived proteins, amino acids, and advanced polymers that work together to repair and strengthen the inner structure of the hair.
During your appointment, the treatment is carefully applied and sealed with gentle heat, locking in active ingredients for lasting smoothness.
Unlike many traditional keratin treatments, Fabriq contains no formaldehyde or harsh chemicals, making it a safer option for both clients and stylists. The process helps to seal down the cuticle, reduce volume, and make hair more manageable, even on thick, curly, or damaged hair.
After one treatment, hair looks healthier, feels softer, and is noticeably easier to style, with protection against humidity and daily stresses.
Who Benefits From Hair Smoothing?
Hair smoothing is ideal for anyone struggling with unruly or frizzy hair, but it also brings fantastic results for a variety of concerns.
If your hair is coarse, thick, or has natural curls and waves that become dry or puffy, a smoothing service can create a sleeker look that lasts.
Even those with fine, colour-treated, or chemically processed hair can benefit, since Fabriq is designed to enhance strength and appearance without causing damage.
Clients with busy lifestyles appreciate the reduced drying and styling time, while those who colour or bleach their hair enjoy added softness and shine.
Whether your hair is affected by the weather, daily styling, or regular colour treatments, smoothing can help you maintain salon-worthy hair every day. It is also an excellent choice for holiday prep or special occasions when you need long-lasting style control.
Fabriq Aftercare & Results
To get the best from your Fabriq treatment, proper aftercare is essential.
We recommend waiting the suggested 48 hours before washing your hair to allow the treatment to fully set. For lasting smoothness, always use a sulfate-free, sodium chloride-free shampoo and conditioner - this helps protect the keratin bonds and keeps your hair looking shiny and healthy. Our stylists can recommend home care products that are proven to prolong your results.
Most clients enjoy noticeably less frizz and improved manageability for up to three months, depending on hair type and lifestyle. Between appointments, simply enjoy air-drying or effortless blow-drying, knowing that your hair will stay smooth even in humidity or damp weather.
If you regularly swim or expose your hair to chlorinated water, protecting your hair with a cap and rinsing afterwards will help maintain your results.
