Which Inca Glow treatment should I choose for my hair length?

If your hair is above the shoulders, choose Short. For shoulder to below-shoulder hair, choose Medium. For longer or thick hair, book the Long service.

Is the formula the same across all three options?

Yes. All three services use the same Inca Glow Amino Smoothing Complex. The difference is in application time, technique, and dosage based on your hair length and density.

Can I colour my hair on the same day as Inca Glow?

Yes. Inca Glow is gentle and compatible with same-day colour services, unlike many keratin-based treatments.

How long will my smoothing last?

You can expect results to last up to 12 weeks with proper aftercare, including sulphate-free products and limited water exposure during the first 48 hours.

What’s included in the price?

Each service includes the full Inca Glow application, heat sealing, and a professional blow wave. Aftercare advice is also provided.

Inca Glow Smoothing Cairns – Short, Medium & Long Hair | Cuts By Carella

Inca Glow Smoothing Treatment

Humidity-Controlled Smoothness for Cairns Conditions

Inca Glow is a professional smoothing service designed to reduce frizz, surface reactivity, and daily styling effort in heat and humidity — without permanently straightening the hair.

Rather than a single “one size fits all” option, Inca Glow is delivered through service variants based on hair length, density, and surface behaviour. This ensures the correct processing time, product load, and heat work are applied for predictable results.

If your hair expands, frizzes, or loses its finish as soon as you step outside, Inca Glow is built for that reality.

☀️ How It Wears in Cairns / Cairns Conditions

In Cairns heat and humidity, porous hair absorbs moisture, causing the cuticle to lift and the surface to roughen. This leads to puffiness, frizz, and rapid loss of finish.

Inca Glow is designed to reduce that surface reactivity. The service is heat-activated and sealed to improve smoothness, shine, and manageability, helping the hair hold a controlled finish for longer in tropical conditions.

This is a smoothing and control service — not a relaxer.

What’s Included

Full Inca Glow smoothing service
Heat sealing to lock in surface control
Finish refinement aligned to the smoothing outcome
Home-care guidance to support longevity

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will this stop frizz completely?
A. No styling or smoothing service can fully stop humidity. The goal of Inca Glow is improved control, manageability, and finish longevity — not perfection in extreme conditions.

Q. What if I’m unsure which length to book?
A. Book the option you believe is closest. We’ll assess your hair on the day and adjust if needed, or you can book a consultation if you prefer certainty.

Q. How long does Inca Glow last?
A. Results can last up to 16 weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, lifestyle, and adherence to recommended home care.

Q. Is it safe for coloured or bleached hair?
A. Yes. Inca Glow is commonly performed on coloured, foiled, or lightened hair, subject to condition assessment.

Q. Will it straighten my hair completely?
A. No. Inca Glow smooths and softens texture rather than permanently straightening. Natural movement remains.

Q. Is there downtime after the appointment?
A. You can resume normal activities immediately. For best results, keep hair dry for the first 48 hours and follow the aftercare guidance provided.
