This guide focuses on suitability for keratin smoothing consultation. Use it to prepare a specific salon conversation, then confirm the plan with the stylist who assesses your hair.
Assess the starting point
A smoothing consultation compares a desired texture change with the requirements of the proposed treatment. Suitability for keratin smoothing consultation comes from comparing the intended result with your actual hair, hair history and daily routine. A reference on a different texture is an idea to discuss, not a reliable forecast.
Product choice, hair history and aftercare should be clear before proceeding.
Make the tradeoff explicit
Ask: “What product would be used and what instructions apply afterward?” Explain what you are willing to change at home and what you want to keep the same. If the result requires daily steps you would not normally do, ask to see a version that better fits your routine.
Use an alternative as a test
Discuss a temporary blowout alongside keratin smoothing consultation. Comparing the two can make the decision clearer: which better preserves the features you like, which changes the features you dislike, and what must happen between salon visits? Confirm the particular stylist and service before booking.
