New Kenra Smooth in-salon service so so safe that you can follow immediately with a wash and color.

This year you can have a new weapon in your anti-frizz arsenal: the just-launched Kenra Smooth system, an in-salon service supported by four home maintenance products.
Transform your client's dry, frizzy locks with Kenra Smooth, a professional smoothing system marked by proven performance without the sacrifice of safety. "Kenra Smooth is truly life changing – our mission was to develop a safe system that allows you to give your clients beautiful smooth results with the freedom to apply Kenra Color, shampoo or style immediately after the service," says Robb Dubré, Kenra Professional Senior Artistic Director. "In 2014, we invite you to join the thousands of salons that have adopted the new standard for smooth. Join The Movement."
Free of direct formaldehydes and compliant with all regulations in both the U.S. and Canada, Kenra Smooth's proprietary blend of ingredients eliminates up to 99% of curl and frizz after the first application.
Results last up to 60 shampoos. The Kenra Smooth formula permits washing and coloring the same day—as soon as immediately following the service. There's also a formula for hair that has never been chemically treated.
Each system comprises: Deep Cleansing Shampoo; Foaming Fluid; Calming Crème; and Hydration Treatment. An innovative, patent pending applicator tool replaces the traditional bowl and brush, making application of the Foaming Fluid quick and easy. The drip-free applicator gives stylists control in delivering even, consistent saturation, and it eliminates waste.
