Why Your Smoothing Treatment Fades Early (and How to Stop It)
Wash count, the wrong shampoo, daily washing, oiling and hard water: the five habits that shorten any smoothing treatment, and the fixes.
If your smoothing treatment seems to vanish in a couple of months, the treatment is rarely the only reason. These are the five habits we see most at the salon, and what to change.
1. Washing every day
Every wash uses up part of a treatment's life. The Copacabana Nanoplastia brand sheet quotes about 50 to 60 washes, so shampooing daily spends them in roughly two months while three washes a week stretches them to about four or five.
2. The wrong shampoo
Sulphate shampoos clean harshly and shorten a treatment's life. Switch to a protein-based, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner right after your service, and keep using them.
3. Frequent oiling
Regular heavy oiling builds up on treated hair. Keep it occasional, and shampoo it out thoroughly.
4. Heat without protection
Apply a leave-in cream as a base before any styling product or heat styling. Skipping it leaves the strands unprotected.
5. Hard water and pools
Bangalore's borewell water leaves mineral build-up on the hair, and chlorinated pools and sea water are tough on treated hair. Use filtered water for your final rinse when you can, and rinse well after swimming.

Questions on hair treatments, answered.
- Why did my keratin fade in two months?
- The common causes are daily shampooing, sulphate shampoos, frequent oiling, unprotected heat and hard water.
- How many times a week should I wash smoothed hair?
- About three times a week is the guidance for Copacabana Nanoplastia.
