This three-hour long treatment features a customised blend that contains a thermal-activated concentrate to combat frizz and tame unruly hair, stabilised keratin to repair damage, and a silk protein to promote smoothness and shine. Then, your hair will be treated with a deeply nourishing booster containing amino-oil complex, jojoba and avocado oils, before a flat iron is applied to activate the smooth-control concentrate and lock in the nutrients. As a final step, a hyaluronic acid and ceramide-rich masque is applied to seal in all the goodness. Book us in!

Salon Kream
This bright and spacious salon in Holland Village is a one-stop location that caters to Caucasian hair. Expat Living’s Melinda Murphy did a test-drive of the Keratin Smoothing Therapy treatment – read on for her thoughts!
“I’ve been baffled by how to tame my humidity-induced frizz since landing on the Little Red Dot. Turns out, a Keratin treatment was just the trick. Three hours at the salon and my tresses are frizz-free for the first time in years. The three-step process started with a special shampoo, Tiboli Volume Obsessed Shampoo, which was left in my hair for 15 minutes. Next, my charming stylist Willie painted on the Keratin Smoothing Therapy, which was then steamed into my hair. After a quick cold-water rinse, my hair was flat-ironed to lock in the treatment. I walked out with flat, super shiny hair. Days later, it’s still frizz-free, but I’m able to style it fuller. The only downside is that there’s a slight odour whenever my hair gets wet – but this is standard with the treatment and will fade over time.”
Psst… This hair-smoothing treatment will change your hair colour, so you’ll need to wait for a week before colouring your hair.
