The Short Answer
Both Kerasilk Smoothing and Goldwell Just Smooth help reduce frizz and improve manageability. The better choice depends on hair texture, density, and how much weight your hair can tolerate.

How Stylists at Cabelo Compare These Lines
We compare smoothing lines by weight tolerance and texture response. Fine hair often needs lighter smoothing. Coarser hair can tolerate richer care.
We also look at styling habits. Air dried hair behaves differently than hair that is blow dried or heat styled.
What We Look At First
- Hair texture and density.
- Where frizz appears. Root, mid lengths, or ends.
- Humidity response versus dryness.
- How often heat tools are used.
Common Mistakes We See
- Choosing smoothing based on brand name alone.
- Using rich smoothing on fine hair.
- Mixing routines from different lines.
- Skipping conditioner and expecting smoothness.

- Best for medium to coarse hair.
- Works well in humid conditions.

Goldwell Just Smooth Overview
Goldwell Just Smooth focuses on manageability and softness with a lighter feel. It suits hair that needs control without losing movement.

How to Choose Between Them
