What is Japanese Silk?

Japanese Silk is a professional in-salon smoothing treatment commonly chosen by clients who want to reduce the appearance of frizz, improve softness and make daily styling easier. It is especially relevant for hair that feels dry, coarse, unruly or difficult to manage. Because every head of hair is different, the final result can vary depending on your hair texture, condition, previous colour or chemical services, and the aftercare routine you follow at home.
