Aura Application is a professional smoothing and straightening service using vegan, formaldehyde-free biotechnology and hyaluronic acid to eliminate frizz, soften your hair, and deliver lasting shine and manageability. Suitable for most hair types, including coloured or chemically processed hair, this treatment works within the hair fibre to smooth and relax texture while maintaining natural movement, with results that typically last several months.
More information
What happens during your appointment
Your stylist begins with a deep cleansing shampoo to remove any buildup and prepare the hair. The Aura treatment product is then applied methodically through small, precise sections and combed through to ensure even distribution. Once applied, your hair is blow-dried smooth and straightened with a flat iron to activate and lock in the smoothing effect. A hydrating mask is applied and rinsed to seal the treatment, leaving your hair soft, silky, and noticeably smoother. The full service takes around 60 minutes, and our nine-strong Crawley team will guide you through every step with clear explanations and realistic timelines.
Who Aura suits and what to expect
Aura works beautifully on:
- Frizzy, unruly, or humidity-prone hair that you want to wear smoother and more polished
- Coloured, highlighted, or chemically treated hair where added shine and softness are welcome
- Wavy or loosely curled hair that you prefer to wear straighter or more manageable
- Hair that takes a long time to style and could benefit from faster blow-drying and reduced daily heat use
Results are immediate: expect smoother, shinier, softer hair with reduced volume and frizz. Styling time is typically cut because your hair dries faster and requires less effort to look polished. Aura is a smoothing and relaxing treatment, not a permanent chemical relaxer, so some natural texture may remain depending on your starting hair type and the level of straightening effect you choose.
Aftercare and longevity
To get the most from your Aura treatment:
- Avoid washing your hair for 48 hours after the appointment to allow the treatment to fully set
- Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prolong results and protect the smoothing effect
- Moderate your washing frequency where possible, and rinse thoroughly after swimming in chlorinated or salt water
- Minimise heavy heat styling, though blow-drying and occasional straightening are fine with heat protection
With proper care, Aura typically lasts three to six months, depending on your hair type, texture, and homecare routine. As your natural texture grows back at the roots, you may choose a maintenance service to keep your hair consistently smooth. Our team will create a clear aftercare plan tailored to your hair and lifestyle during your consultation.
Consultation and hair health
Because Aura involves heat and chemistry, a thorough consultation is essential. We assess your hair's condition, colour history, and any previous chemical services to ensure Aura is the right choice. If your hair is highly damaged, over-bleached, or fragile, we may recommend a pre-treatment repair service a week before, or suggest alternative options that prioritise hair health. Our Crawley stylists are trained to adjust technique, temperature, and application method to suit your individual needs, so you can trust the process is both safe and effective. Aura is formaldehyde-free and designed to be gentler than older keratin treatments, but we still take every precaution to protect your hair and deliver beautiful, wearable results.
