Summer in London can be unpredictable – one moment you're enjoying brilliant sunshine, and the next you're caught in an unexpected downpour. For those with naturally frizzy, unruly, or humidity-sensitive hair, these weather changes can turn a good hair day into a disaster in minutes. At All Shook Up Hair in Battersea, we've discovered the perfect solution: bio-active keratin smoothing treatments that work with your hair's natural structure whilst providing long-lasting frizz control.
What is Bio-Active Keratin Smoothing?
Unlike traditional keratin treatments that rely on harsh chemicals and extreme heat, bio-active keratin smoothing uses advanced protein technology that works in harmony with your hair's natural keratin structure. This innovative approach delivers impressive results whilst maintaining your hair's health and integrity.
The Science Behind Bio-Active Technology
Bio-active keratin treatments utilise:
Naturally derived keratin proteins that mirror your hair's own structure
Gentle pH-balanced formulations that don't damage the hair cuticle
Smart delivery systems that target damaged areas specifically
Heat-activated bonding at lower temperatures than traditional methods
This means you get all the benefits of smooth, manageable hair without the potential damage associated with conventional straightening treatments.
Why Choose Bio-Active Keratin for Summer?
Humidity Protection That Actually Works
London's summer humidity can wreak havoc on frizzy hair, but bio-active keratin creates an invisible barrier that:
Repels excess moisture from the environment
Maintains your natural curl pattern whilst reducing frizz
Provides 24/7 protection against humidity fluctuations
Lasts through multiple washes and weather changes
Gentle on All Hair Types
Whether you have fine, thick, curly, or colour-treated hair, bio-active keratin smoothing at All Shook Up Hair can be customised for your specific needs:
Fine hair gains body and movement without being weighed down
Thick hair becomes more manageable whilst retaining volume
Curly hair maintains its natural texture with reduced frizz
Colour-treated hair benefits from added protection and shine

Faster blow-drying with smoother results
Less need for heat styling tools reducing further damage
Easier brush-through eliminating painful detangling sessions
Improved air-drying results for busy summer mornings
Enhanced Hair Health
Unlike harsh chemical straighteners, bio-active keratin actually improves your hair's condition:

Adds protective protein where it's needed most
Increases shine and lustre naturally
Strengthens hair fibres from within

Maintenance and Longevity
What to Expect
Bio-active keratin smoothing results typically last:
3-4 months with proper aftercare
Gradual fading that doesn't leave harsh lines
Maintained benefits even as the treatment naturally wears off
Improved hair condition that lasts beyond the smoothing effect
Aftercare Essentials
To maximise your investment, follow these maintenance guidelines:
First 72 Hours
Avoid washing your hair for the first three days
Keep hair dry and avoid ponytails or clips
Sleep on silk pillowcases to prevent creasing
Avoid heavy products that might interfere with the bonding process

6-week check-ins to assess treatment longevity
Root touch-ups for new growth if desired

Special Considerations for Summer
Sun Protection
Whilst bio-active keratin provides some natural UV protection, summer requires additional care:
UV-protective leave-in treatments for outdoor activities
Hat wearing during peak sun hours
After-sun hair care following beach or pool days
Regular deep conditioning to combat sun damage
Swimming and Water Activities
Bio-active keratin holds up well to water exposure, but consider:
Pre-swimming protection with leave-in conditioners
Immediate post-swim rinsing to remove chlorine or salt
Weekly clarifying treatments during active swimming periods
Extra moisture treatments to combat drying effects
