Frizz and unruly texture change the way hair behaves as much as the way it looks. At HBI, our smoothing services soften that texture with keratin, creating a sleeker finish and easier styling without permanently relaxing the hair.
Change How Your Hair
Moves and Behaves
Hair smoothing is a professional service that changes how your hair behaves and holds its shape day to day. Keratin treatments help reduce frizz and create a sleeker, more manageable finish, working with your natural texture rather than permanently altering it. The result is hair that responds better to styling, holds up longer between washes, and feels smoother to the touch.
What Hair Smoothing Does
Depending on your natural texture and styling goals, a smoothing service can change how your hair looks, moves, and behaves from day to day. It can:
- Reduce frizz for a smoother, more controlled finish
- Soften unwanted volume and unruly texture
- Improve manageability for easier everyday styling
- Cut down on daily blow-drying and styling time
- Add shine and softness to texture that feels rough or coarse
- Help styles hold their shape in humidity
- Enhance texture while working with your hair’s existing characteristics
- Change how your hair holds its shape and responds to styling
Our Hair Smoothing Services
Keratin
Keratin treatments help reduce frizz, soften unwanted texture, and make hair easier to manage while creating a sleeker finish. Your HBI stylist considers your natural texture, condition, and styling routine before determining whether a keratin treatment is appropriate for your hair.
Express Keratin
Express keratin offers a quicker approach to smoothing for clients who want greater manageability without committing to a full keratin service. The treatment helps control frizz, soften texture, and create a smoother finish while making everyday styling more manageable.
Please note: HBI does NOT offer chemical hair relaxing, a separate service that uses chemical relaxers to permanently straighten curly, coily, or wavy hair.

Your Hair Sets the Direction
Every HBI service begins with a consultation. Your expert stylist considers your existing texture, condition, chemical history, routine, and goals before recommending an approach, particularly when deciding whether keratin or express keratin makes sense for your hair.
