Step-by-Step Tutorial
Easy to Follow
We offer two smoothing treatment types based on your client’s preferences: SilkieSmooth and VitaSmooth.
The application process for all four pods is the same, but the processing time and flat iron temperature will vary depending on the hair’s thickness, color, and condition.
The treatment process is divided into two easy-to-follow parts:
- Part 1 with seven steps
- Part 2 with five steps
Part 1
1.- SHAMPOO + Smooth Mask Option
It’s crucial to start the treatment with clean hair, removing any dirt, oil, or other hair products.
Use Smooth Shampoo thoroughly to wash the hair.
OPTION: If the client has extremely porous and damaged hair, shampoo and apply a Smooth
Mask. Thoroughly distribute the hair mask by massaging it into the hair. Wait for five minutes
before rinsing the product completely from the hair.
2.- DRY HAIR 80%
With a medium heat setting, dry the hair until it’s slightly damp. The remaining moisture helps the smoothing treatment penetrate the hair effectively and reduces the application time.
If certain sections become too dry, lightly mist them with water to prepare for the application.
3.- TREATMENT APPLICATION
Before starting, wear a glove and section the hair into four parts.
Begin from the nape area, about a quarter inch away from the scalp, and apply thin, finger-length sections. Layer by layer, apply the smoothing treatments throughout the hair.
Apply a sufficient amount without overloading the product. Massage and comb through to evenly distribute it.
4.- PROCESSING
Use a hair cap to prevent the product from drying out. Keeping the hair moisturized helps loosen the curls and allows the ingredients to absorb.

5.- WATER RINSE 80%
Thoroughly rinse the hair, leaving only a small amount of product remaining.
This small amount helps tame the shape and seal the cuticle before ironing.
6.- DRY HAIR 100%
Dry the hair completely with a medium heat setting.
Detangle and shape the hair before proceeding to the final step.
7.- FLAT IRON
Separate the hair into four sections.
Starting from the nape area, begin flat ironing at the recommended temperature until you notice shine in the hair.
Flat Iron Heat Temperature Recommendations
- 350-370°F for thin and damaged hair
- 370-400°F for medium hair
- 400-450°F for thick, coarse hair
NOTE: Flat ironing is crucial for finalizing the shape and locking in the cuticles.
» Remember, not all flat irons are created equal. Using the right tool is crucial for achieving the best results. We highly recommend using IZUTECH professional flat irons for the most exceptional finish.
» To avoid unnecessary color lift from the heat, start with the lowest recommended temperature and gradually increase it as needed.
Part 2
1.- WATER RINSE 100%
Rinse the hair thoroughly until you see clear water. This step removes any active smoothing treatment left on the hair.
2.- MASK APPLICATION
Apply the Smooth Mask evenly throughout the hair. Massage it into the hair for 5 minutes. This process helps re-balance the pH level and provides deep conditioning.
3.- WATER RINSE 100%
Remove all the hair mask from the hair, preparing it for the final stage of the treatment.
4.- DRY HAIR 100%
Detangling the hair becomes much easier at this stage. You’ll notice a significant shine and smoothness. Brush and dry the hair completely before styling.
5.- STYLE HAIR
Use any hair tools you prefer to style the hair as desired.
