Looking for a smoothing treatment that actually lasts — and won’t damage your hair? The Inca Glow Smoothing Treatment is a breakthrough in clean, professional smoothing technology. Made from organic amino acids and Inca oil, this formaldehyde-free system softens, smooths, and strengthens your hair for up to 16 weeks.
Unlike traditional keratin treatments, Inca Glow is free from formaldehyde, glyoxylic acid, and ammonia — making it suitable for even the most sensitive scalps and colour-treated hair.
Whether you're dealing with daily humidity, puffiness, or time-consuming styling routines, this treatment restores your hair’s shine, manageability, and texture — the healthy way.
🌴 The Cairns Humidity Solution: Science vs. The “Poof”
Cairns humidity doesn’t just ruin your style — it physically changes the hair fibre. When the air is saturated, porous hair (lightened, dry, or naturally textured) behaves like a sponge: it drinks moisture, the shaft expands, and the cuticle lifts. That’s the exact moment a polished finish turns into a tropical halo.
🔬 Why Inca Glow Holds in the Tropics
Inca Glow isn’t a heavy coating — it’s a non-keratin smoothing system powered by a unique Amino Acid Complex + Inca flower oil, creating the ionic chemistry behind that sleek, climate-resilient finish.
✅ Deep Smoothing (Not a Waxy Layer): Smooths and conditions without the heavy, coated feel of traditional systems.
✅ Cuticle Control: Glycolic + lactic acids support deep penetration so the hair stays smoother and more humidity-resistant
✅ Heat-Sealed Activation: Heat activates and locks the result into the hair, holding shine and control for up to 16 weeks.
✅ Tropical Shine Fuel: Enriched with omega-rich Inca flower oil plus vitamins A, C & E to keep hair softer and more light-reflective.
✨ The Result: Frizz-Free Authority
Hair that stays sleek, light, and reflective when you leave the salon — not just until you hit the Cairns heat.

🌿 What is Inca Glow?
Inca Glow uses a revolutionary amino acid complex enriched with Inca flower oil, vitamins A, C, and E, and omega support. Together, they penetrate the hair shaft to smooth from within — without harmful fumes, discomfort, or downtime.

✅ Safe on bleached or coloured hair
🔬 Inca Glow vs Keratin Treatments
🔬 Key Ingredient:
Inca Glow uses a nourishing amino acid complex enriched with Inca oil and vitamin support. Traditional keratin treatments rely on keratin protein and often require chemical bonding agents.
✨ Frizz Control:
Inca Glow delivers exceptional frizz control and shine for up to 16 weeks. Keratin treatments typically last 3–6 months but may not handle humidity as effectively in all climates.
🌿 Comfort & Experience:
Inca Glow is formaldehyde-free, glyoxylic acid-free, and ammonia-free — with low odour and minimal irritation. Keratin treatments can release vapours during heat sealing and may be uncomfortable for sensitive clients.
🎨 Hair Suitability:
Inca Glow is safe for bleached, colour-treated, curly, and chemically processed hair. Traditional keratin treatments are often not recommended immediately after colouring or bleaching.
⚡ Same-Day Colouring:
With Inca Glow, you can colour and smooth your hair on the same day. Most keratin treatments require a waiting period before or after colouring.
🔬 How Inca Glow Works
The Inca Glow Smoothing Treatment works by using an advanced Amino Acid Complex (rather than keratin or harsh chemical agents) to smooth and strengthen the hair.
This complex includes:
✅ Amino acids – the building blocks of healthy hair
✅ Glycolic acid + lactic acid – gently open the cuticle and allow deep penetration
✅ Inca flower oil – omega support plus vitamins A, C & E to nourish and protect
Together, these ingredients rebuild and seal the hair fibre — reducing frizz, softening texture, and adding long-lasting shine.
⚡ How It’s Activated
✅ Clarifying Shampoo – removes build-up and preps the cuticle
✅ Treatment Application – applied section-by-section to damp hair (typically 30–45 minutes, depending on hair type)
✅ Rinse & Blow Dry – rinsed and blown dry smooth
✅ Heat Sealing – activated and sealed with heat for lasting smoothness and shine
🌿 Why It’s Different
Unlike keratin treatments that rely on harsh agents to create a coating, Inca Glow is designed to deliver smoothing through an amino-acid-driven system — leaving hair softer, lighter, and more naturally movable.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Inca Glow last?
Inca Glow lasts up to 16 weeks, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. Regular use of sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner helps extend results.
Is it safe for coloured or bleached hair?
Yes — Inca Glow is designed to be colour-safe and is frequently used after foils, bleach, or permanent colour. It can even be performed on the same day as a colour service.
What makes it different from a keratin treatment?
Inca Glow is made with amino acids and natural oils, not keratin or harsh bonding chemicals. It’s formaldehyde-free, odour-free, and much gentler on hair and scalps.
Will it straighten my hair completely?
Not necessarily. Inca Glow smooths and softens texture, but doesn't chemically straighten like a relaxer. Curls and waves will be looser, but natural movement remains.
What’s the downtime after treatment?
None! You can wash your hair, tie it up, or go about your day as normal — unlike traditional smoothing treatments that require 48–72 hours of waiting. Although avoid getting it wet for 48 hours after treatment and do not use shampoos or conditioners that are detergent based with sulphates or parabens.
