Tresemme Keratin Smooth 7 Day Smooth System


Here’s a little background on the Tresemme 7 Day Smooth System for those of you who may not know. This system is designed to give you the salon smooth results of a Keratin Treatment at home in a three part system with results lasting 7 days or up to 3 washes. The first step is to shampoo with the 7 day Keratin Smooth shampoo, then condition with the 7 day conditioner, then follow with the Heat Activated Treatment. When applying the Heat Activated Treatment you must section your hair off into a certain number of sections depending on the length and thickness of your hair as specified in the instruction sheet provided with the treatment. Then apply the treatment to each section. After applying the treatment to each section you blow dry your hair until it is completely dry. After your hair is completely dry you flat iron hair in small sections to activate the Thermal Technology in the Heat Activated Treatment.  I was a little apprehensive about trying the Tresemme 7 Day Smooth System because I thought it dry out and damage my hair. After doing some research online I learned that the formula is safe for color treated and relaxed hair and is non-damaging. So finally I decided to give the system a try. The shampoo and conditioner each cost about $6.99 And the Heat Activated Treatment costs about $7.99. The Keratin Smooth 7 Day Smooth System consists of 3 products a Shampoo, Conditioner, and a heat Activated Treatment.

7 Day Smooth System Shampoo This shampoo is designed to clarify the hair and remove impurities to prepare it for the smoothing process. It’s infused with keratin and made with lower sulfates. This shampoo is the first step in the smoothing process. I have to say this shampoo really did a great job of clarifying my hair. Prior washing my hair, my hair had quite a bit of product residue on it. This shampoo completely removed all traces of product build up without stripping my hair.

7 Day Smooth System Conditioner The conditioner is the second step in the smoothing process. It is designed to work with the heat of your flat iron for salon smooth results. This conditioner is very light and didn't weight my hair down. It also helped to detangle my hair which farther helped prep it for the third and final product.

7 Day Smooth System Heat Activated Treatment This is the final product in the smoothing system. I sectioned my hair into 4 Sections as specified on the instruction sheet for my length and thickness of hair. Then I applied the treatment to each section and blow dried my hair until completely dry. Then I flat ironed my hair in small sections with a 1” flat iron. I loved the way my hair came out. This made my hair extremely silky straight and smooth and with great body and movement. I was very pleasantly surprised with my results. This kept my hair looking great for 5 days. I didn't wash my hair during this time but this really kept my hair looking smooth for nearly a week.  This is definitely is a great alternative to salon keratin treatments. Of course this 7 treatment only lasts 7 days as opposed to about 30 days for a salon treatment. 


Final Thoughts This is a great alternative to a permanent straightener. It keeps my hair straight and frizz free until my next shampoo. If you’re looking a smooth straight look but perhaps not for the long term. Or you’re looking for something gentle without harsh chemicals, Tresemme Keratin Smooth 7 Day Smooth System if Definitely worth trying,
