What it is
This kit is the complete Silk Express system in one package: the in-salon smoothing service plus the take-home maintenance routine. The Hair Smoothing Protein is the professional step, built on Tanino Fusion technology that combines glyoxylic acid with plant tannins, hydrolyzed silk, guarana and grape seed; applied to clean, dry hair and sealed with a flat iron, it reshapes how the hair sits for a semi-permanent, sleeker finish. The five home-care products then take over between visits: the shampoo cleanses, the conditioner and weekly mask soften and add shine, and the leave-in and serum smooth and protect the lengths. Processing for the salon step is fast, usually 10 to 20 minutes before the heat step.
Key ingredients
- Glyoxylic acid: the smoothing active that, with heat, relaxes wave and frizz into a sleeker, straighter shape
- Tannic acid (Tanino Fusion): plant tannins that help bind the smoothing to the hair and add a conditioned, silky feel
- Hydrolyzed silk (Silk Protein): smooths, strengthens and softens the strands through the process
- Guarana (Paullinia cupana): an antioxidant-rich Amazonian botanical that nourishes the hair
- Grape seed oil: helps tame frizz and seal the cuticle for shine
What you can expect
After the salon service, hair is left visibly smoother, sleeker and easier to manage, with frizz relaxed and the lengths straighter and glossier. The exact result depends on the starting texture and how resistant the hair is, and the finish is soft and natural rather than stiff. The result is semi-permanent and typically lasts up to around four months, fading gradually as the hair is washed. Using the kit's home-care range keeps the smoothing looking its best and helps it last between salon visits.
Who it is for
- Salons and professionals: a complete taninoplastia service plus the matching retail home-care to sell or send home
- Clients who want a full routine: the salon smoothing and everything needed to maintain it in one kit
- Frizzy, wavy or resistant hair: a sleeker, straighter, more manageable result
- Low-maintenance styling: quicker, easier daily styling for months
Who it is not for
- Home users without training: the smoothing Protein is a professional step that needs sectioning, controlled timing and flat-iron technique, not a DIY application
- Sulfate-sensitive scalps: the kit's shampoo contains a sulfate cleanser
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: as a precaution, the manufacturer advises asking a doctor before the smoothing service
- Highly sensitized or over-processed hair: only proceed if a strand test passes
- Fragrance-sensitive clients: the products are fragranced and contain declared fragrance allergens
Professional recommendation
- Always perform a strand test before every smoothing application, especially on colored or bleached hair
- Match the flat-iron temperature to the hair's condition within the 180-230°C range, using more passes on resistant hair
- Send clients home with the kit's home-care so the result is protected from the first wash
How to use
Part A — the professional smoothing (Protein):
- Strand test first; if hair becomes brittle, do not proceed.
- Wash and dry the hair completely.
- Apply the Protein in sections about 1 cm from the scalp; leave 15-20 minutes, then rinse out 60%.
- Blow-dry and flat-iron each section at 180-230°C to seal; rinse, then apply the conditioner.
Part B — home-care maintenance: wash two to three times a week with the shampoo, condition every wash, use the mask weekly, and finish with the leave-in and serum for slip and shine.
Compatibility
The kit is the complete Silk Express system, so the home-care is matched to the smoothing and no extra products are needed to maintain it. The smoothing Protein can be used over hair previously colored, bleached or keratin-treated, provided a strand test confirms the hair is strong enough; on lightened or very light hair, expect possible slight changes to tone. The home-care range also works well alongside other Silk Express pieces, such as the salon-size Home-Care Set.
In short
- Complete salon-to-home kit: the professional smoothing Protein plus the full five-piece home-care range
- Heat-activated smoothing: glyoxylic acid with tannic acid, silk, guarana and grape seed for a sleeker, straighter finish
- Semi-permanent result: up to around four months, maintained at home with the kit's shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in and serum

Frequently asked questions
What's included in the kit, and how does the system work?
The kit pairs the professional Silk Express Hair Smoothing Protein with a five-piece home-care set: a shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in and serum. The Protein is the in-salon smoothing step that relaxes frizz and straightens, while the home-care range cleans, conditions and protects the result so your smoothing stays sleek between salon visits.
Is the smoothing a salon or a home treatment?
The smoothing Protein is a professional salon service. It needs a strand test, careful sectioning, controlled timing and flat-ironing at 180 to 230 degrees in a ventilated space, which is not suited to a DIY home application. The five home-care products are the at-home part, used daily and weekly to maintain the result.
Does it contain formaldehyde, and is it safe?
The kit is not sold as formaldehyde-free. The Protein uses glyoxylic acid and a preservative that can release small amounts of formaldehyde when the hair is heated during flat-ironing. For that reason the smoothing is a professional-only service, applied with gloves in a well-ventilated space, following the label instructions and a strand test every time.
Can it be used on colored or bleached hair?
Yes, but with care and a mandatory strand test. The combination of glyoxylic acid and high heat can slightly lighten or shift artificial color, especially on bleached or very light hair. Your stylist checks how a small section responds before treating the whole head, and decides on timing and temperature based on your hair's condition.
How long do the results last?
The smoothing is semi-permanent and typically lasts up to around four months, depending on your hair type, how often you wash and how you care for it. It fades gradually with washing rather than growing out in a hard line. Using the kit's home-care range consistently helps the result last longer.
How do I keep the smoothing looking good at home?
Wash two to three times a week with the kit's shampoo, and condition every wash to keep the cuticle smooth. Use the mask once a week for a deeper treatment, and finish with the leave-in and serum for slip and shine. Avoid over-washing, which makes any smoothing fade faster.
How soon can the smoothing be reapplied?
Once the smoothing fades, it can be reapplied, usually after a few months, and it can be refreshed on just the regrowth rather than the full length. Because it does not break the internal bonds, there is no hard line as it grows out. Your stylist confirms the right timing for your hair.
