Hair Smoothing Treatments at Charlie Milz

Charlie Milz Hair & Beauty • 5 September 2022

You’ve probably seen this treatment trending all over social media right now – and with very good reason.



Sometimes known as glossing, hair smoothing treatments are the newest addition at Charlie Milz, and for super sleek, healthy and glossy hair, all you need to do is book an appointment.

Hair smoothing is simply a treatment that improves the structure of the hair strands in order to be sleeker, smoother and more manageable.


They work by essentially re-bonding the hair into a sleeker pattern using an amino acid solution which forms the building block for protein in the hair – something that is fundamental to hair health. It’s this element that contributes to frizzy or curly hair, when the amino acids form in whatever pattern they want, the treatment can help them settle in the sleeker pattern eradicating frizzy and unruly hair.



What’s more, you don’t have to have frizzy hair to be a candidate for this treatment – any hair type can benefit from a treatment that makes your hair look glossy, hydrated and healthy.

What are the Benefits of Hair Smoothing Treatments?

There are a lot of benefits to this treatment. Users of Hair Smoothing Treatments like 72 Hair and pHrizzy-o-therapy boast glossy, healthy, and more manageable hair with less breakage.



This magical little treatment also contributes to maintaining colour by prolonging fading – meaning you can visit the salon less for colour appointments. Not only is this great for the quality of your hair, but it’s great for your bank balance, too.

Do Hair Smoothing Treatments Damage the Hair?

No, treatments that smooth and create a glossy finish don’t damage the hair. In fact, they can improve the quality of the hair strands by reducing breakage and frizz, turning dull, lacklustre locks into glossy and healthy hair.

How Long Do Hair Smoothing Treatments Last?

The first appointment takes up to three hours for the 72 Hair Soothing Treatment, and up to two hours for pHrizzy-o-therapy Hair Smoothing Treatment. After this, it’s recommended that you come in for a repeat treatment every twelve weeks or so, as the solution applied to the hair typically lasts around three months. To continue to enjoy the benefits of smoothed-out hair, coming back to the salon for repeat treatments is best.



We also supply home care shampoos, conditioners, masks, oils and blow dry creams that will help keep your glossy hair looking and feeling its best.

I’ve Got Coarse, Curly Hair. Will a Smoothing Treatment Work?

Hair smoothing treatments work on all types of hair, from fine and thin straight hair to more coarse curly hair including black hair. If you have a tight curl, then this treatment would help the curl be more relaxed and shiny – looking healthier overall.

As My Natural Hair Grows, Will it Grow Differently to the Treated Hair?

Hair smoothing treatments are not permanent, meaning that they will naturally wash out and grow out of your hair. Typically, this starts to happen at around twelve weeks. When this happens, your hair slowly returns to its natural state – unless you book in for a repeat appointment.

Is Hair Smoothing Expensive?

Treatments to smooth the hair are an affordable way to achieve glossy, healthy hair reducing frizz and adding shine without paying out for lots of products or damaging the hair with styling tools. Long term, this treatment could save you money when compared to time and money spent on other products and tools. But we acknowledge that not everyone is able to pay for repeat appointments. What’s great about the hair smoothing treatments is that they can be used as a one-off, for example to help control frizzy hair in humidity on holiday, or to have a sleek hair do for a wedding; the treatment improves the quality of the hair, so even if used for special occasions, it’s still a treatment worth trying.


We offer a choice of treatments appropriate for varying budgets:


·       pHrizzy-o-therapy: £50 - £100*

·       72 Hair Smoothing Treatment: £200*



*Price varies depending on length and texture – speak to a member of the team for a quick consultation.
