Is a Smoothing Treatment Right for You? How Cocco Salon Creates Safer, Stronger and Longer Lasting Frizz-Free Results

If your hair feels frizzy, puffy, dry, or difficult to style, you may have wondered whether a professional smoothing treatment could help. Many women in Derby and Derbyshire turn to smoothing to reduce frizz, improve shine, and save time on styling. But not all smoothing treatments are created equal, and choosing the wrong one can lead to dryness, breakage, or poor results.

At Cocco Salon in Derby, we take a scientific and prescriptive approach to smoothing and straightening. Our focus is not only on creating glossy, manageable hair, but also on ensuring the treatment supports long-term hair health. Every smoothing service begins with a careful assessment of your hair and scalp, so we can recommend the safest and most effective option for your hair type, lifestyle, and goals.


Why Hair Becomes Frizzy, Puffy, or Hard to Manage

Frizz is often a sign of deeper structural issues. The cuticle may be raised, the hair may be dehydrated, or the internal bonds may be weakened. While environmental moisture can play a role, the root causes often include:

  • Heat damage from frequent styling

  • Colouring, bleaching, or chemical treatments

  • Hormonal changes that alter texture

  • Naturally coarse or porous hair

  • Lack of moisture or protein balance

  • Hard water buildup

  • Fine hair reacting to humidity

At Cocco Salon, we never guess. We analyse texture, porosity, elasticity, and breakage patterns before recommending a solution. This ensures your smoothing treatment does not damage your hair or create unwanted flatness.


Our Smoothing and Straightening Solutions

Keratin Smoothing Treatment

Our keratin treatment helps to soften frizz, create shine, and reduce styling time by infusing the hair with smoothing proteins. It is ideal for clients who want a sleek finish and smoother texture for up to twelve weeks.

Amino Acid Smoothing

This gentle, formaldehyde-free option is perfect for clients who want to keep curl or wave but reduce frizz and puffiness. It is especially popular with clients who prefer natural, ingredient-conscious solutions.

Prescriptive Strengthening Before Smoothing

Some hair types need rebuilding before smoothing. In these cases we use bond treatments such as Olaplex or K18 to strengthen internal hair structure first. This ensures the smoothing service is safe and effective.

Smoothing for Mature or Menopausal Hair

Hormonal changes can make hair rougher, drier, or more brittle. Our prescriptive system allows us to choose a smoothing option that improves manageability without compromising fragile strands.


What Happens During Your Appointment

Your smoothing appointment is carried out by a trained practitioner who understands the structure of the hair and the science behind smoothing. The appointment includes:

  1. Professional Consultation
    Assessment of your hair type, condition, porosity, scalp comfort, and daily routine.

  2. Deep Cleansing Preparation
    This removes residue, hard water minerals, and impurities to ensure even product penetration.

  3. Precision Application
    Section-by-section smoothing ensures consistency and maximum longevity.

  4. Heat Activation
    Controlled heat seals the treatment into the hair while protecting internal bonds.

  5. Finishing and Aftercare Guidance
    You will leave with a clear aftercare plan and tailored product recommendations.

Your practitioner will also explain how long you can expect your results to last and how often it is safe to repeat the treatment.

Our clients enjoy results that feel life-changing. Benefits include:

  • Smoother, softer hair

Is Smoothing Safe for All Hair Types?

At Cocco Salon, your safety and hair health always come first. Not every smoothing treatment is suitable for every hair type, especially hair that is:

  • Over-processed

  • Brittle or breaking

  • Extremely fine

  • Recently bleached

If smoothing is not suitable, we will be honest and recommend an alternative such as a strengthening plan, moisture therapy, or a lower intensity smoothing option.

We never perform treatments that could compromise your hair.
