Changing it Up: Smoothing Before Styling

Sponsored Post



When shopping for hair products, in the past I've always immediately reached for the volumizing version of everything. I wanted volumizing shampoo, conditioner, styling products... you get the idea. The bigger the better!

In the last 6 months or so I've really processed my hair a lot, something that has finally tipped my previously very healthy hair that could handle all sorts of abuse, over the edge. My hair is definitely drier and damaged, resulting in some frizz and it can be hard to get my hair smooth without using heat. The last thing that I want to do is add an additional heat styling step to my hair care routine each day! However, the unfortunately truth is that I do need a little smoothing now before curling my hair. Without it, my hair looks a bit frizzy and not well pulled together.

I decided to try out TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Color Shampoo & Conditioner collection because they are formulated for color treated hair like mine, and it has Keratin and Moroccan Argan Oil to help treat my damaged hair. I also added in the TRESemmé Keratin Heat Defense Spray, which I thought would help protect my hair from even more damage from heat styling. I spray it on my damp hair, and I've been drying my hair with warm (instead of hot) air and then finishing with cool air to lock in my style.

Since swapping out these products, my hair is definitely smoother and I've been able to skip using a flat iron. If you've damaged your hair like me, make sure you try swapping out for smoothing products! Skipping the additional heat exposure is preventing further damage and saving me time each day.
