About Tannin Smoothing
Tannin straightening is a hair straightening method that uses tannin extracts from plants, such as oak bark, oak gall, or other tannin-rich plant sources. This technique is often considered a more natural and less harsh alternative to traditional chemical straightening treatments, such as relaxers that use harsh chemicals like formaldehyde.

Tannin smoothing is generally suitable for most hair types, but its effectiveness can vary depending on hair texture and condition. It can help relax curls, reduce frizz, and make hair smoother. However, results may vary from person to person depending on factors such as hair density, natural texture, and previous hair treatments.
The duration of tannin therapy can vary depending on several factors, including the specific method used, hair texture, post-treatment hair care, and other individual variables. Generally, tannin therapy results can last from a few weeks to several months. Some tannin smoothing treatments offer temporary results that can last 4 to 6 weeks, while others can last up to 3 to 4 months. However, it's important to note that hair will naturally grow back with its original texture, so the exact duration of results may vary from person to person.
To prolong the effects of taninotherapy, it is recommended to use suitable hair products and follow the post-treatment care recommendations provided by your hairdresser or the product manufacturer.
To maintain your straightening after tanning therapy, use suitable hair products, such as a sulfate-free shampoo, a moisturizing conditioner, a smoothing treatment, a heat protectant, and lightweight styling products. Choose products specially formulated for chemically treated hair and follow the recommendations provided during your appointment for best results.
The steps at the show
01
Diagnostic
During your appointment, you'll discuss your expectations, hair type, and any previous chemical treatments with your stylist. This is also an opportunity for the stylist to assess the health of your hair and determine if tannin straightening is right for you.
02
Hair preparation and product application
Your hair will be washed with a clarifying shampoo to remove hair product and sebum residue, allowing the tannins to better penetrate the hair cuticle.
The hairdresser will apply the product to your hair, strand by strand from roots to ends.
03
Exposure time
Once the product is applied, your hair will be left to sit for a period of time, usually between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the product brand and hair texture.

Rinsing and drying
After the treatment time, your hair will be thoroughly rinsed with warm water to remove any excess product. It will then be dried using a hairdryer. After drying, the hairdresser may use a straightening iron to seal the treatment and achieve an even smoother and shinier result.
