A keratin smoothing treatment seals the hair cuticle so it resists Dubai's humidity, cutting frizz and styling time for around two to four months. Atelier 10 Salon in DIFC tailors the formula strength to your hair type.
Step out of the air-conditioning into Dubai humidity and frizz arrives within minutes. A keratin smoothing treatment is the most reliable way to keep hair calm, here's how it works.
Why humidity causes frizz
Hair is porous. When moisture in the air rushes into the strand, the cuticle swells and lifts, and that lifted cuticle is what you see and feel as frizz. The more raised or damaged your cuticle, the more dramatically your hair reacts to a humid day.
What the treatment actually does
A keratin smoothing service coats and seals the cuticle with a protein blend, then locks it with gentle heat. The result is a smoother surface that resists absorbing ambient moisture, so hair stays sleeker, dries faster and takes far less effort to style, without making it stick-straight unless that's the look you want.
How long it lasts and how to extend it
Most smoothing treatments last between two and four months depending on hair type and aftercare. Using a sulphate-free shampoo, washing a little less often and protecting hair from chlorine and salt water all add weeks to the result. Our team will tailor the formula strength to how much movement you want to keep.
