Understand the real differences between popular smoothing, straightening and colour services before you book. These guides use our current salon services and prices, while keeping recommendations consultation-led and realistic.
COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS
Useful guides written around real client questions.
Each guide covers goals, suitability, realistic results, aftercare, current pricing and questions to discuss at your consultation.
Keratin vs Brazilian Keratin
Choose standard keratin if you want softer frizz control while keeping more natural movement. Consider Brazilian keratin if your hair is very frizzy or puffy and you want a smoother, sleeker finish. Your starting texture and condition still determine the result.

Hair Botox may be the better match when dryness, roughness and dullness are the main concerns and you want to keep more natural movement. Keratin may suit you better when frizz control and easier daily styling are the main priorities.
Read the comparison →03 · HAIR GUIDENanoplastia vs Permanent Straightening
Nanoplastia may suit clients wanting strong, longer-lasting smoothing without permanently restructuring the treated hair. Permanent straightening may suit healthy, suitable hair when a lasting straight result on the treated lengths is the clear goal.
Read the comparison →04 · HAIR GUIDEBest treatment for dry, frizzy or coloured hair
Hair Botox is the conditioning-focused option; keratin targets softer smoothing; Brazilian keratin offers stronger frizz control; Nanoplastia aims for significant longer-lasting smoothing; permanent straightening is reserved for suitable hair when a lasting straight finish is the goal.

Choose balayage if you prefer soft, personalised dimension and a blended transition. Choose highlights if you want controlled brightness, more even placement or colour that starts closer to the roots.
Read the comparison →06 · HAIR GUIDEWhat is Nanoplastia treatment?
Nanoplastia may create up to 70–80% straighter-looking hair and may last around five to six months with suitable aftercare, but neither result is guaranteed. It is best considered after a consultation, especially for bleached, coloured or previously chemically treated hair.

Why a consultation still matters.
Hair condition, density, natural texture, colour history and previous chemical services can all change what is suitable. Online comparisons are a useful starting point—not a diagnosis or a guaranteed result.
Bring an accurate history to your appointment and explain the finish you want to maintain. Our Botany team can then recommend an option based on the hair in front of us.
