How to maintain a smoothing treatment at home so it lasts longer

The result of a smoothing treatment does not end when the client leaves the salon. What she does at home influences how long the shine, alignment, and frizz control last.

01

What routine is recommended at home?

The Carbon protocol recommends daily use of Carbon Home Care products: shampoo, conditioner, and mask. They help preserve hydration, shine, and frizz control.

02

What habits help prolong the result?

Avoid washing with very hot water.

Use a heat protectant before heat tools.

Avoid products with salt, sulfates, and alcohol.

Sleep with the hair down or in a loose braid.

03

How often should you return to the salon?

The protocol suggests scheduling maintenance every 60 to 90 days for a protein and amino acid replenishment treatment.

04

What does the daily routine protect against?

The material mentions protecting the hair fiber from external aggressors such as sun, heat, and pollution.

In summary

A daily Home Care routine, good habits, and maintenance every 60 to 90 days: these three points help prolong the smoothing treatment.
