1. Immediate Hair Care Tips:
After the smoothing treatment, there are some important things that you need to do immediately. What are those? Have a look:

• Don’t make your hair wet for at least 3 days.

• Never try to tie your hair immediately after smoothening.

• Don’t put your hair at the back side of your ears.

• You have to be careful while sleeping. Your hair should remain straight while sleeping.

2. After 3 Days - Hair Care Tips:
Have you followed the immediate care? Now, 3 days have passed and you need to do something different. What hair care tips can you follow after 3 days of hair smoothening?

• You haven’t wet your hair for 3 days. Now, shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo and apply a conditioner. Keep the conditioner for a longer time than usual. Wash thoroughly.

• Don’t use hot water to wash your hair, as it can wash away the moisture from your hair.

• Take a wide-toothed comb and gently brush your hair. Don’t go harsh. Just slowly comb your hair to separate the hair strands from each other. Never use a hair brush.

• Use a hair serum on a regular basis. This can create a shield on your hair to protect it from dirt and pollution.

• A leave-in conditioner always works wonderful in keeping your hair soft and smooth. It will protect your hair from becoming dull and frizzy.

• You can apply any home-made hair pack to provide essential nutrients to your hair, which can be otherwise lost due to the usage of chemical products. If you don’t have time for home remedies, go to reputed saloons for a hair spa.

3. After 15 Days - Hair Care Tips:
You have done everything mentioned above, throughout these 15 days after hair smoothening. This is the time to take care of your hair’s health from inside and outside.

• Have a nutritional diet with lots of fruits, nuts, dairy products and vegetables.

• You should trim your hair at regular intervals. Hair trimming keeps your hair in a good condition and you can easily get rid of split ends.

• Don’t use heat on your hair, as the high temperature can destroy the natural oil of your hair. If you need to blow dry, go on a cool blast mode.

• Do you know how much chemicals and heating have been used to straight and smoothen your hair? So, don't go for highlighting or colouring of the hair for the next 6 months.

• Always wear a hat or tie a bandana to keep your hair safe from the scorching sun or rough wind..
