can the smooth over frizz fighting treatment be performed on the same day as a color service?Updated 6 months ago
it is recommended that amika pro smooth over frizz-fighting treatment be performed 2 weeks before or after a color service. however, similar to many smoothing treatments, pro smooth over may potentially shift color, especially if the color service is performed within the 2-week timeframe.
the extent of color shift may vary depending on hair type, hair condition, type of color used + the temperature of hot tools used. vivid + pastel shades have a greater chance of lifting or fading. permanent color has been found to be less affected, while permanent root touch-ups can be performed on the same day as the pro smooth over service. if a client has a semi-permanent color, gloss, or naturally white/gray hair, it is recommended to lower the temperature of the flat iron to 360f to reduce any potential color shifting.
