Lasio Keratin Treatments: What to Expect and How to Maintain Your Results
Central Texas humidity can make frizz difficult to manage, even with a careful styling routine. For clients who want smoother, shinier and more manageable hair, a professional Lasio keratin treatment may provide longer-lasting results than daily styling products alone.
At Spoleti Salon, Lasio treatments are performed by trained professionals at our South Austin and Pflugerville locations. Because Lasio offers multiple professional formulas, your stylist will evaluate your hair, discuss your goals and recommend the most appropriate option for you.
What Is a Lasio Keratin Treatment?
A Lasio keratin treatment is a professional smoothing service designed to reduce frizz, improve manageability and create a smoother finish. During the service, a stylist applies the selected formula and uses heat to seal the treatment into the hair.
Depending on the formula and your desired outcome, a Lasio treatment may:
Reduce frizz and unwanted puffiness
Make blow-drying and styling easier
Add softness and reflective shine
Reduce some curl or loosen the curl pattern
Help hair respond better to humid weather
Provide results that gradually fade rather than permanently altering new growth
A keratin treatment is not the same as a permanent chemical relaxer. Your natural texture will gradually return as the treatment wears off and new hair grows.
Smoothing Is Not Always the Same as Straightening
One of the most important parts of your consultation is deciding how much texture you want to preserve.
Some clients want to reduce frizz while maintaining their waves or curls. Others want a noticeably straighter, sleeker finish that requires less daily styling. Lasio offers different formulas with varying levels of smoothing and curl reduction, so the outcome should be customized rather than treated as one-size-fits-all.
Be specific about whether you want frizz reduction, curl relaxation or a straighter result. Showing your stylist photos of your preferred finish can help establish realistic expectations.
How Long Does a Lasio Treatment Last?
The longevity of a Lasio treatment depends on the selected formula, your hair type, how frequently you wash your hair and the products you use at home.
Some Lasio formulas are designed to provide results for up to three or four months, while shorter-term smoothing options may fade sooner. “Up to” is important: individual results vary, and no stylist can guarantee an exact duration for every client.
Washing frequently, using harsh cleansers, swimming regularly or repeatedly exposing the hair to salt water can cause smoothing results to fade more quickly.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
A professional Lasio treatment may be appropriate for clients who:
Struggle with persistent frizz
Have hair that expands in humidity
Spend significant time blow-drying or flat-ironing
Want a smoother, more polished finish
Have thick, coarse or difficult-to-manage hair
Want to soften their texture without committing to permanent straightening
Are willing to follow the recommended aftercare routine
Clients with fine, highlighted, fragile or heavily processed hair may still be candidates, but the formula and heat settings must be chosen carefully. Your stylist should evaluate your hair’s strength, porosity and chemical history before proceeding.

Can Lasio Be Used on Color-Treated Hair?
Lasio offers professional formulas intended for different hair types, including color-treated hair. However, the timing of your color and smoothing services matters.
Heat and smoothing treatments can sometimes affect hair color or toner, particularly on blondes, vivid shades and highly porous hair. Your stylist may recommend adjusting the service order, formula, temperature or timing to protect your desired tone.
If you receive professional hair color or blonding services, tell your stylist about all previous color, lightener, smoothing and chemical services during your consultation.
What Happens During the Appointment?
The exact process depends on the Lasio formula selected for your hair, but a typical appointment may include:
Consultation: Your stylist reviews your texture, chemical history, condition and desired result.
Cleansing: The hair is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for the treatment.
Application: The selected smoothing formula is carefully applied in sections.
Blow-drying: The hair is dried according to the treatment instructions.
Heat sealing: A flat iron is used at a temperature selected for your hair’s condition and texture.
Finishing and aftercare: Your stylist explains when to wash your hair and which products to use at home.
Keratin appointments can take several hours depending on the length, density and condition of your hair. Ask about expected timing when booking.
Are All Lasio Formulas the Same?
No. Lasio offers several professional treatments with different ingredients, intended results and recommended aftercare.
Some formulas prioritize maximum smoothing and curl reduction, while others are intended to preserve more natural texture. Ingredient lists also vary. Do not assume that every Lasio treatment is formaldehyde-free or appropriate for every client.
Ask which exact Lasio formula will be used during your appointment. If you have allergies, chemical sensitivities, asthma, respiratory concerns or ingredient preferences, disclose them before booking so the salon can determine whether the service is appropriate.
Professional smoothing treatments should always be performed in a properly ventilated salon by a trained stylist.
How Should You Care for Your Hair Afterward?
Your stylist’s instructions should take priority because aftercare can vary by formula.
General maintenance may include:
Use the recommended cleanser: Choose a gentle shampoo that is compatible with keratin-treated and color-treated hair.
Condition consistently: Keep the mid-lengths and ends hydrated without creating excessive buildup.
Limit unnecessary washing: Frequent shampooing may shorten the life of your results.
Protect against heat: Use heat protectant before blow-drying or using hot tools.
Prepare before swimming: Ask your stylist how to protect your hair from chlorine and salt water.
Follow the correct waiting period: Some Lasio formulas allow same-day washing, while others may have different instructions.
Schedule maintenance appropriately: Allow the treatment to fade and have your hair reevaluated before repeating the service.
Spoleti Salon carries professional Davines haircare products. Your stylist can recommend a home-care routine based on your treatment, texture and color.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Lasio treatment make my hair completely straight?
Not necessarily. The amount of curl reduction depends on the selected formula, your natural texture and the result you request. Some treatments focus more on frizz reduction, while others create a straighter finish.
How long do Lasio keratin treatments last?
Some formulas may last up to three or four months with appropriate aftercare. Results vary based on the formula, hair type, washing frequency and home-care products.
Can I wash my hair immediately afterward?
That depends on the formula used. Some current Lasio treatments allow same-day washing, but you should follow the instructions provided by your stylist.
Are Lasio treatments formaldehyde-free?
Not every Lasio formula has the same ingredient list. Some formulas are marketed as formaldehyde-free, while others may contain formaldehyde or different smoothing ingredients. Ask your stylist which exact formula will be used and review any ingredient concerns before your appointment.
Can I receive a Lasio treatment while pregnant or nursing?
Discuss the service and its ingredients with your physician before booking. You should also inform the salon so the exact formula and service environment can be considered.
Will the treatment damage my curls permanently?
A keratin smoothing treatment is not intended to permanently change new hair growth. However, the degree and duration of texture change can vary. Discuss how much curl you want to preserve before beginning the service.
Is a Lasio Keratin Treatment Right for You?
The best smoothing service is one chosen for your actual hair—not simply the strongest available formula. A thorough consultation allows your stylist to balance frizz reduction, texture preservation, color history and the condition of your hair.
Our stylists can help you decide whether a Lasio keratin treatment is the right option and explain what results you can realistically expect.
