The Best Tools for Achieving & Maintaining Keratin-Treated Hair

The Best Tools for Achieving & Maintaining Keratin-Treated Hair

Behind every smooth, frizz-free finish is more than just a treatment—it’s the tools that make it all possible. Whether you’re applying a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment in the salon or sending your client home with aftercare tips, the right tools are essential for achieving consistent results and protecting the health of the hair.

Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatments have continually stood out for being 100% formaldehyde-free and free of harsh chemicals like sodium, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, harmful toxins, vapors, fumes, and noxious gases. In addition to ensuring that everything that goes on the hair has zero trade-offs, the application process is important as well. 

The Essentials for a Flawless Cezanne Treatment

From the iron that locks in the treatment to the comb that ensures even distribution, every step depends on having the right tools, which is why we’re detailing the must-haves for the salon, plus expert insights on heat styling for keratin and how to guide your clients on maintaining their smooth results at home.

Pro Titanium Ceramic Smoothing Iron

A flat iron designed specifically for smoothing treatments. The Cezanne 1.5-inch Pro Titanium Ceramic Smoothing Iron is engineered to deliver even, consistent heat, which is critical for sealing in the benefits of any Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment.

Why stylists love it:

  • Titanium plates provide rapid, even heat distribution and consistent temperature

  • Adjustable temperature with from 320° to 420°F and 5°F increments

  • Memory button sets the ideal heat (370°F) at the touch of a button

  • Cool-touch tip for easy grip and control during styling

  • 1-hour auto shut-off, 9ft. swivel cord, and dual voltage make it ideal for any salon environment

  • Comes with a thermal pouch for safe, easy storage

If you’re looking for the best flat iron for keratin-treated hair, this tool checks every box. It protects the hair while delivering the exact temperature needed to lock in any Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment without compromising hair health.

Application Brush-Comb & Application Brush

Precision matters. The Application Brush-Comb makes it easy to apply and comb through the treatment in one step, speeding up your service while ensuring thorough, even coverage. 

For more detailed work, the Cezanne Application Brush is engineered with tapered nylon bristles to distribute the treatment exactly where you want it.

Both tools are lightweight, durable, and built for back-to-back salon appointments without slowing you down.

Application Bowl

A simple but essential staple. The Cezanne Application Bowl features a rubberized handle for grip and comfort, and is made with high-impact plastic that’s durable and recyclable. It holds up to regular use and helps make each treatment feel seamless from start to finish.

Pin Tail Carbon Comb & Heat Comb

Designed specifically for use during keratin treatments and heat styling, these combs help with sectioning, smoothing, and eliminating frizz during ironing.

  • The Pin Tail Carbon Comb is strong, lightweight, heat- and chemical-resistant, and features a fine-tooth design for controlled styling and ensuring clean sections. The stainless steel tail is perfect for precise lifting and parting during application or styling.

  • The Heat Comb is made from a carbon fiber composite that’s naturally anti-static and ultra-smooth to prevent snagging and streamline your treatment. It's durable, heat-safe, and ideal for use with a smoothing iron.

 

Together, these tools for smoothing treatments help ensure even tension and smooth results from root to end, which is essential when applying heat to the hair.

Blow-Dry Tips for Smooth Hair (and Happier Clients)

Once the treatment is applied, processed and rinsed, blow-drying is the next key step. Use clean sections and high tension when round brushing to prep hair for the flat iron step. Focus on even heat distribution and keep tension consistent from root to tip. This sets the stage for ironing and locks in maximum smoothness.

Once hair is 100% dry, you can begin sealing in the treatment with a flat iron. This meticulous process locks in the smoothing effects to create a long-lasting result.

Pro tip: Make sure your dryer has a concentrator nozzle to control airflow.

Post-Treatment Styling: Guiding Clients on Product Use at Home

Once the treatment is complete and your client is ready to leave the salon, you should always recommend heat protection and keratin-infused care to help them maintain a silky-smooth finish at home.

For best results, recommend:

With keratin infused in every formula, these products extend the life of the treatment and support healthier hair for every type and texture—even if they don’t have a Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment.

Why Professional Tools Matter

Cezanne treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and transformative—but what creates those results also comes down to the stylist behind the chair. Using tools that are made for smoothing treatments means:

  • Fewer passes with the iron = less exposure to heat

  • More precise application = less waste and more control

When paired with proper home care, your clients enjoy a finish that’s not only smoother but stronger, shinier, and easier to style.
