The short answer
Care aims to support feel and manageability; straightening aims to change shape according to the system used. We clarify whether you want to preserve your waves or prefer a straighter look, then plan the process, timing and home care around your hair’s suitability.
At a glance
- We discuss your everyday look before the treatment name.
- We assess your hair history and current condition together.
- We explain washing and styling for the chosen product.
Keep the waves or choose a straighter look?
If you want to wear your hair naturally on holiday while making brushing easier, pronounced straightening may not be your goal. We discuss how you like it loose, tied up or blow-dried, helping you compare options for the look you want at home rather than shine on application day alone.
Start with your hair history
We discuss dye, bleach, perms, extensions and previous straightening, then assess lengths and ends. Any necessary strand check is planned before treatment. If hair breaks easily or is heavily processed, postponement may be part of the care plan; simply lowering the heat is not a reason to continue.
Which product, for which goal?
We explain whether the proposed system is intended for care or straightening and outline its steps. The word keratin does not mean the same formula or effect. We translate product instructions into practical guidance for you; ongoing scalp discomfort or sensitivity calls for appropriate healthcare advice first.
Timing around colour and travel
Upcoming colouring, swimming or travel can affect your appointment plan. We discuss treatment order, washing and swimming conditions using the chosen product’s instructions. This gives you clear steps for your own application rather than advice you may have heard about a different system.
A plan you can maintain
Hair type, washing frequency and home care affect how the appearance is maintained; new growth needs separate consideration. Instead of promising a fixed number of months, we discuss the expected effect and reviews. At our Lara consultation, we clarify scope, time and individual price before treatment so you can decide comfortably.
Common questions
Can I have care while keeping my waves?
Tell us that this is your goal. We can assess care options against your hair and the actual product effect.
Which option suits dyed or bleached hair?
We check previous treatments and current condition. Care or straightening may need postponing; we do not promise suitability before assessment.
When can I wash my hair afterwards?
We explain washing, heat and swimming instructions for the selected product rather than applying one waiting time to every system.
