Hair Straightening
Straightening covers a real range, from a polished blowout that lasts until your next wash, to a chemical service that permanently changes the bond structure of your hair. Which one is right depends on how permanent you want the result and how much your hair can safely take.
Chemical straightening is not reversible, so it always begins with an honest conversation about your hair history and condition. If your hair is not a good candidate, ViAna will tell you and suggest a smoothing treatment instead.

Aftercare & maintenance
What you do at home decides how long the result lasts. This is the short version, and ViAna will walk you through it in person.
- Keep hair completely dry and unclipped for the first 72 hours.
- Use sulfate free products only, permanently.
- Book regular conditioning treatments to maintain elasticity.
- New growth comes in with your natural texture and needs a root touch up, not a full reapplication.
Common questions
The hair that was treated stays straight permanently. It does not revert. However your new growth comes in with your natural texture, so a root application is needed periodically as it grows.
Sometimes, but it requires real caution. Combining chemical straightening with heavily lightened hair carries genuine breakage risk. A strand test and an honest condition assessment come first, and the answer is occasionally no.
Keratin is a temporary smoothing treatment that keeps your natural movement and washes out over months. Chemical straightening permanently restructures the hair bonds and does not wash out. Keratin is far gentler and is the right starting point for most people.
