Keratin & Color: How to Combine Cezanne with Color Services

Can you combine a keratin treatment and color? With a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment, the answer is yes.

Whether you’re enhancing your natural shade, maintaining blonde highlights, or blending gray, Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatments work seamlessly with color services. And with our non-toxic, 100% formaldehyde-free formula, you can smooth and color—without compromise.

Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatments deliver smooth results without the harsh chemicals often found in straighteners, relaxers and many keratin smoothing treatments. The 100% formaldehyde-free formula doesn’t break or weaken the bonds of the hair, so your color remains and protected throughout the smoothing process.

Smooth Before or After Color—It’s Up to You

One of the best things about a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment is the flexibility.  These smoothing treatments can be applied before or after color services depending on your client’s schedule, goals, or hair condition.

  • Before color: Prepping with a smoothing treatment before applying color helps create an even, polished canvas, allowing for more consistent color application—especially for porous or frizz-prone hair.

  • After color: Smoothing after color application delivers a sleek, frizz-free finish and the Classic Blonde and Express Blonde can be great services to counteract unwanted warmth and deliver a smooth and cool toned finish for blondes.

Treatments Designed for Color-Treated Hair

Every Cezanne treatment works with color-treated hair, but the Classic Blonde and Express Blonde formulas were developed specifically for blonde tones.

Cezanne Classic Blonde

This smoothing treatment is formulated with violet pigments to help counteract brassy tones and keep blonde, highlighted, or gray hair looking bright and cool. It works especially well on multi-dimensional blondes (level 8 and above), balayage tones, or gray hair that has been dulled by buildup.

The details:

  • Long-lasting smoothing for up to 5 months

  • Neutralizes brass and enhances vibrancy

  • Ideal for porous, lightened, or gray hair

Cezanne Express Blonde

The go-to for in-between appointments or a quick refresh, Express Blonde is a low-commitment option to smooth and soften for up to 10 weeks. It’s perfect for refreshing dry ends, reducing frizz around the crown, or refreshing tone and shine between longer services.

The details:

  • 10-week smoothing solution

  • Ideal for fragile, bleached, or high-lift blondes

  • Budget- and time-conscious without sacrificing results
