Smoothing treatments 🫶

Here are the key facts about Qiqi smoothing treatments:

Core Characteristics & Technology

Non-Alkaline/Acidic System: Qiqi is not a traditional chemical relaxer or alkaline-based, which makes it safer and less damaging to the hair structure.
Formaldehyde-Free: It does not contain formaldehyde or other toxic, harsh chemicals.
Plant-Based & Vegan: Qiqi Vega uses organic components, is vegan-friendly, and contains no animal-derived ingredients.
Long-Lasting: The results are considered permanent until the new hair grows in with its original texture, lasting roughly 3–18 months depending on hair growth and care.

Benefits

Versatile Results: Offers three distinct types of treatment tailored to different hair goals:
"Give It To Me Straight": Maximum, long-lasting straightening.
"Reclaim My Time": Reduces curl and frizz, adds manageability, but keeps some volume.
"Curls Just Wanna Have Fun": Softens waves/coils, eliminates frizz while enhancing natural curl.
Damage-Free: The formula is designed not to break the hair; it nourishes and rejuvenates, making it suitable for thin, damaged, or previously chemically treated hair.
Climate Resistant: The treatment is highly resistant to humidity, sweat, and extreme temperatures.
Versatility with Daily Activities: There is no downtime. You can wash, color, or tie your hair immediately (or within 10-48 hours depending on the specific formula variant) after the treatment.
Chlorine/Saltwater Proof: Safe to use even if you swim in pools or the ocean.

The Process & Aftercare

Duration: The in-salon treatment takes roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on hair length and thickness.
No Fumes: Because the solution is washed out before the final ironing, there are no harsh chemical fumes or smoke.
Coloring: Can be done on the same day as a color service, though it may lift professional color by up to half a level.

Maintenance: To maintain the results, it is recommended to use sulfate-free shampoo and Qiqi-specific aftercare products.
Heat Activation: Qiqi is heat-activated; if you still see frizz after air drying, you may need to apply heat to re-activate the smoothing process.

Considerations

Not for all hair: It may not be suitable for excessively damaged hair that cannot withstand the high heat required for the ironing stage.
Color Shift: As mentioned, it can slightly lighten previously colored hair.
Initial Cost: As a professional service, it can be costly (starting from $350+ in some salons).
