What’s the Difference Between Hyrolox Anti-Frizz Treatment and Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
If you’ve ever dreamed of smooth, shiny, frizz-free hair but worried about the harsh chemicals in traditional keratin treatments, you’re not alone. Many of our clients ask us the same question:
“What’s the difference between Hyrolox and a normal keratin smoothing system — and which one is better for my hair?”
Here’s everything you need to know — explained simply, practically, and with expert insight from the team at Langtons Hair Salon.
1. What Is a Keratin Smoothing Treatment?
Traditional keratin smoothing systems use heat and chemical bonding to temporarily seal the hair cuticle and smooth frizz.
They work by coating the hair with keratin and then sealing it in using a flat iron at high temperatures. The result is sleeker, straighter hair that lasts around 3–5 months.
However, some older keratin systems can contain formaldehyde or similar ingredients, which release fumes during application. These can sometimes cause scalp irritation, sensitivity, or dryness — particularly on fine or fragile hair types.
2. What Makes Hyrolox Different?
Hyrolox is a next-generation, formaldehyde-free smoothing system that works very differently to traditional keratin.
Instead of coating the hair with protein, Hyrolox repairs, hydrates, and rebuilds from the inside out using a blend of amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and plant-based active ingredients.
It’s designed to:
Smooth frizz and control humidity
Hydrate and soften dry, coarse hair
Strengthen and protect the inner hair structure
Leave your hair naturally glossy and weightless
Unlike keratin treatments, Hyrolox doesn’t change the structure of your hair — it simply makes it more manageable, supple and smooth.
3. How to Get the Best Results from Hyrolox
To make your smoothing treatment last longer and keep your hair looking incredible:
Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner (Aveda Nutriplenish or Pureology works beautifully).
Avoid salt-based or clarifying shampoos.
Use a heat protector when styling.
Schedule a Hydrating Blow-Dry every few weeks to boost shine and prolong smoothness.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
With the right care, your Hyrolox results can last up to four months — sometimes longer!
4. Why We Love Hyrolox at Langtons
At Langtons, we’ve tested countless smoothing systems — and Hyrolox stands out because it delivers shine, softness and manageability without compromise.
It’s gentle enough for coloured or highlighted hair, yet powerful enough to transform coarse, frizzy or unruly hair into smooth, healthy strands.
Plus, it smells amazing, feels luxurious, and there’s no need to wait days to wash or style. You leave the salon with beautifully smooth, glossy hair straight away.
5. Who Is Hyrolox Best For?
Hyrolox is ideal if you:
Want to reduce frizz and improve manageability
Have curly hair and want to reduce frizz and make it more manageable
Have dry, coarse or colour-treated hair
Want to save time styling your hair every morning
Prefer a natural, healthy-looking finish rather than poker-straight hair
If your goal is silky, smooth hair that still has body and movement, Hyrolox is the treatment for you.
