FAQ — Prorituals Smooth Straightening Balm

Q1. What is Prorituals Smooth Straightening Balm and what does it do?
A: Prorituals Smooth Straightening Balm is a salon-grade smoothing/straightening balm formulated to tame over-textured or frizz-prone hair, control rebellious volume, and deliver a silky-smooth finish. It helps close the hair cuticle and lock out humidity for a sleek, polished style all day long.

Q2. Which hair types benefit most from this balm?
A: This balm is ideal for over-textured, curly, wavy, frizzy, or humidity-affected hair. It’s particularly useful for clients who struggle with unruly volume or frizz and want a smooth, manageable finish — whether for blow-outs, straight styles, or sleek everyday looks.

Q3. What are the key ingredients and why do they matter?
A: Key ingredients include: panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), hydrolyzed wheat protein, hydrolyzed silk, wheat amino acids, and sunflower seed extract. 

• condition and soften the hair (panthenol, amino acids),

• reinforce and smooth the hair fiber (hydrolyzed proteins and silk),

• add shine and help the hair resist humidity (sunflower seed extract + cuticle-sealing effect).

The result: smoother, shinier, more controlled hair without heaviness or greasiness.

Q4. Is the balm safe to use on color-treated or chemically treated hair?
A: Yes — the product is pH-balanced and designed for professional salon use, which helps minimize stress on the hair fiber. According to distributors, it’s suitable for hair that has undergone coloring or chemical services, while helping maintain smoothness and manageability.

Q5. How should a stylist apply it for best results?
A: For optimal results: dispense a small amount (about the size of a coin) into the palms and distribute from roots to ends on damp or towel-dried hair. Then style as desired — blow-dry or flat-iron for a sleek, smooth finish. Some stylists also mix (“cocktail”) the balm with other styling products (like a “Color Fuel” if available) to enhance frizz control and long-lasting smoothness.

Q6. Will the balm make hair feel heavy or greasy?
A: No — despite its smoothing and moisturizing properties, the balm has a relatively light, non-greasy texture. Its blend of light proteins, amino acids, and botanical extracts smooths the hair without weighing it down, leaving hair soft, shiny, and easy to manage. 

Q7. What size is the product and is it intended for salon-professional use?
A: The balm is sold in a 6.8 fl. oz. (200 mL) container. It is positioned as a professional-grade product, typically distributed through pro beauty supply channels and salons, which makes it a good fit for salon retail or backbar use.

Q8. When should a stylist choose this balm instead of a straightening cream, oil, or serum?
A: Use this balm when the goal is to:

• Smooth and control frizz on over-textured or humidity-prone hair

• Maintain a sleek, polished look without heaviness

• Provide conditioning and manageability while sealing the cuticle

• Prepare hair for heat styling with a foundation that supports smoothness

It’s especially useful for clients who want smoothness without sacrificing softness or movement.
