A keratin smoothing treatment can be life-changing for clients with frizzy, unruly hair. At Radici Hair Studio in Del Mar, CA, we use only a natural, Formaldehyde-Free Keratin Smoothing Treatment by HED — delivering silky, manageable hair without harsh chemicals.
Human hair is developed by a type of protein called keratin. When applied to the hair with heat, this organic protein can radically improve the condition, look, and strength of your hair. Our treatment removes 90% of frizz and stubborn curls, shortens blow dry time by 40–60%, and leaves hair silky smooth for 4–5 months.
What to Expect: Before, During & After
Understanding the process helps you prepare and get the most out of your investment. Here is the complete journey.
Before Your Treatment
Your stylist will assess your hair type, texture, and condition to confirm the keratin treatment is right for you. We recommend arriving with clean, product-free hair.
During the Process
The treatment is applied section by section and sealed with professional heat. The appointment typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on hair length and thickness.
The First 72 Hours
Avoid washing your hair, tucking it behind your ears, or using hair ties for 48 to 72 hours. This allows the treatment to fully set and lock in the smoothness.
Long-Term Care
Use sulfate-free shampoo and avoid salt water or chlorine to extend the life of your treatment. Results typically last 4 to 5 months with proper care.
Our treatment is safe to use on all types of hair including damaged, over-processed, and color-treated hair. For further questions, call the salon or schedule a consultation — we are happy to walk you through every detail.
