Frequently asked questions
How much does hair smoothening cost in India?
Hair smoothening costs ₹2,500 to ₹9,000 in India in 2026. Short hair starts at ₹2,500, medium hair ₹3,500 to ₹6,000 and long hair ₹5,000 to ₹9,000.
How much does hair smoothening cost in Hyderabad?
In Hyderabad hair smoothening costs ₹3,500 to ₹7,500 depending on length and product line. TrimHub Salons in Hyderabad start at ₹3,500 for short to medium hair.
How long does hair smoothening last?
Four to six months on average. Growth at the roots becomes visible by month three, which is when most clients book a root touch-up instead of a full service.
What is the difference between hair smoothening and keratin treatment?
Smoothening relaxes the hair structure for a straighter finish and lasts 4 to 6 months. Keratin fills the hair with protein for shine and frizz control while keeping some natural texture, and lasts 3 to 5 months. Keratin usually costs 15 to 25% more.
Is hair smoothening safe?
Yes when done with a formaldehyde-free formula by a trained stylist and followed with sulphate-free aftercare. Avoid it on heavily bleached or freshly coloured hair, and wait two weeks between colour and smoothening.
Is hair smoothening cheaper than straightening?
Slightly. Permanent straightening usually costs 10 to 20% more than smoothening because it restructures the hair more aggressively and takes longer in the chair.
