Bhave Smoothe XT Advanced Keratin Therapy 300ml

Steps

1. Consultation: Assess the hair's condition, porosity, texture, chemical history and desired smoothing results. Examine the scalp for irritation, lesions or broken skin. Perform a strand test before proceeding.
2. Prepare the hair: Apply Bhave Smoothe XT to dry hair without prewashing unless there is excessive product buildup. If necessary, wash with a Bhave shampoo, avoiding clarifying shampoo, and blow dry completely. For porous hair or hair with previous keratin buildup, lightly dampen to approximately 80% dry.
3. Apply the treatment: Pour the solution into a tint bowl and divide hair into four sections. Starting at the nape, apply evenly just away from the scalp using a tint brush. Comb through with a fine tooth comb. For thick, absorbent hair, lightly mist with water to help distribute the product without oversaturating.
4. Processing time: Allow 30 minutes for fine, thin or wavy hair, or up to 60 minutes for thick, resistant or extremely curly hair. Adjust according to professional assessment. Reapply product to areas that dry or harden during processing. Do not twist or clip the hair.
5. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse all treatment from the hair using room temperature water only. Do not shampoo. Apply a Bhave conditioner. For optional colour enhancement, apply Bhave BOOST direct dye to towel dried hair for 5–10 minutes, rinse completely and condition.
6. Blow dry: Using a round brush, stretch and smooth the hair while blow drying until completely dry.
7. Flat iron: Work in fine sections from the back of the head, ironing roots first, followed by mid-lengths and ends. Adjust temperature to the hair's condition using the manufacturer's guide:

Coarse hair: 230°C.

Medium hair: 210–220°C.

Fine or damaged hair: 210°C.

The manufacturer's guide recommends 20–25 passes at the roots, approximately 15 through the mid-lengths and ends, and 5–10 on extremely damaged ends. These are professional reference values, not mandatory targets. Avoid excessive pressure and overheating. Continue only as appropriate to achieve a smooth, glossy finish without compromising hair integrity.

8. Aftercare: Allow the hair to cool completely. Unlike traditional keratin treatments requiring a waiting period, Bhave Smoothe XT can be washed immediately after cooling if desired. Maintain results with Bhave shampoo and conditioner. Depositing colour services may be performed after cooling, following the manufacturer's preparation instructions.

Professional tip

Bhave Smoothe XT offers a customisable smoothing finish. For natural body and movement, apply the treatment to raised hair sections and allow them to fall naturally. For a sleeker, flatter result, comb each section flat after application.

The most important finishing step is achieving smooth, glossy hair without excessive heat exposure. Adjust straightener temperature, tension and passes to the hair's density, porosity and condition. Severely sensitised hair may require a restorative service or an alternative treatment.

Always follow the manufacturer's professional application instructions, ensure appropriate ventilation and discontinue treatment if persistent scalp irritation occurs. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients should consult their physician before treatment.

Key ingredients

Glycolic Acid, Bioactive Keratin, Macadamia Oil, Certified Organic Argan Oil, Vitamin E.

How do the key ingredients function in Bhave Smoothe XT Advanced Keratin Therapy 300ml?

• Glycolic Acid: The active smoothing ingredient in Smoothe XT. Used with the professional heat treatment process, it helps reduce frizz, relax the appearance of curls and create sleeker, easier to manage hair.
• Bioactive Keratin: Derived from New Zealand sheep wool, this conditioning protein helps improve the appearance and feel of damaged hair. It supports a smoother hair surface, softness and shine, but cannot permanently rebuild broken hair.
• Macadamia Oil: Rich in conditioning fatty acids that soften hair and reduce friction during brushing and styling, helping limit tangling and mechanical breakage.
• Certified Organic Argan Oil: Supplies conditioning fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamin E to soften dry lengths, reduce flyaways and give hair a glossy finish.
• Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps protect oils in the formula from oxidation. Alongside conditioning ingredients, it supports a smooth, polished appearance.

Why choose Bhave Smoothe XT Advanced Keratin Therapy 300ml over other keratin treatments?

Bhave Smoothe XT is made for salon clients who want more than temporary frizz control. Its glycolic acid based, heat activated smoothing technology gives professionals the flexibility to create a naturally sleek finish or a more intensive reduction in curl and volume. Combined with the supplier reported keratin and conditioning oils, the treatment aims for glossy, silky hair that is easier to blow dry and style.

Its standout convenience is the absence of a 48 hour waiting period: once the hair has cooled, it can be washed, and suitable depositing colour services can follow under professional guidance. For thick, resistant or humidity prone hair, that combination of smoothing power, customisable results and same day flexibility makes Smoothe XT an appealing salon choice. Results depend on hair condition, technique and aftercare - Everything Keratin
