This guide focuses on hair history for keratin smoothing consultation. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Explain the history of the lengths
A consultation for keratin smoothing consultation is more useful when the stylist knows what has happened to the hair that is still present. A smoothing consultation compares a desired texture change with the requirements of the proposed treatment. Include relevant salon services, at-home products and past changes even when they happened many months ago.
Connect history with the goal
Product choice, hair history and aftercare should be clear before proceeding. Ask “What product would be used and what instructions apply afterward?” and show current pictures without filters. If you do not know the exact product name, tell the stylist that rather than describing an uncertain process as a confirmed fact.
Let the assessment guide the first step
A reference photo cannot establish whether your current hair is ready for the proposed keratin smoothing consultation. Ask whether an assessment, test or staged approach is appropriate before proceeding. Discuss a temporary blowout if it achieves part of the goal with a different commitment.
