Hair Straightening Treatments
Frizz-free, smooth and beautifully manageable hair, tailored to your hair type, condition and lifestyle. BellaMi offers three premium pathways to smoother hair, from non-chemical hair straightening to keratin smoothing and deeply restorative nanoplasty.
Our experienced stylists will assess your hair and recommend a treatment designed to deliver healthy-looking, long-lasting results without compromising its integrity.
Which Hair Straightening Treatment Is Right for You?
Not all hair straightening treatments work in the same way. The right choice depends on your natural texture, previous hair colouring, current condition and the result you want to achieve.
You may be looking for a vegan solution without harsh straightening chemicals, a keratin treatment that controls frizz and reduces styling time, or an advanced nanoplasty treatment for damaged or resistant hair. At BellaMi, a professional hair straightening specialist will help you compare the options and select the treatment best suited to your needs.
Before making a recommendation, we consider:
- Your natural curl, wave and texture
- Hair density, porosity and overall condition
- Previous colouring, bleaching or chemical services
- Scalp sensitivity
- Your preferred level of straightness
- The time you spend styling your hair
- Your maintenance preferences and lifestyle
Every treatment is performed by an experienced hairdresser using advanced techniques and premium products. Our priority is to create smooth, manageable hair while protecting its strength, condition and natural beauty.
Three Pathways to Smooth, Healthy Hair
Qiqi Vega Non-Chemical Hair Straightening
100% vegan and free from harsh straightening chemicals
Qiqi Vega offers an innovative alternative for clients searching for non-chemical hair straightening. Developed in Brazil, this vegan hair treatment uses natural proteins to penetrate the hair shaft, smooth the texture and support stronger, healthier-looking hair.
According to the brand, Qiqi Vega is the world’s only 0% alkaline hair straightening treatment. Its gentle formulation contains no formaldehyde or traditional harsh straightening agents, making it a compelling option for clients who want smooth, long-lasting results while prioritising hair health.
BellaMi is one of only a select number of Melbourne salons offering this advanced treatment. It may be suitable for sensitive scalps and colour-treated hair, although your stylist will always assess your hair before proceeding.
Benefits may include:
- A 0% alkaline, formaldehyde-free formula
- Vegan and cruelty-free treatment
- Smoother, more manageable hair
- Long-lasting straightening results
- Reduced frizz and styling time
- Nourishment for the hair shaft
- Suitability for many types of colour-treated hair
Keratin Straightening
Award-winning smoothing for different hair types
Keratin straightening is designed to soften curls, control frizz and create a polished, silky finish. Rather than offering a single formula for every client, our hair salon uses the Keratin Complex range, with options suited to blonde, curly, fine, coarse and difficult-to-manage hair.
Keratin Complex has specialised in professional keratin treatments since 2007 and offers several formulas with different processing times and levels of smoothing. Options available at BellaMi include the convenient one-hour EBO treatment and the more intensive KCMAX™ treatment.
A professional keratin treatment can reinforce the hair structure, improve manageability and reduce the time needed for blow-drying and heat styling. Depending on the selected formula, your hair type and aftercare, results may last up to five months.
Benefits may include:
- Reduced frizz, curl and unwanted volume
- Smoother, softer and shinier hair
- Less time spent on daily styling
- Improved appearance of dry or damaged hair
- Formulas for different textures and conditions
- An express one-hour treatment option
- Results lasting up to five months
BKT Nanoplasty
Deep reconstruction, smoothness and lasting shine
BKT Nanoplasty is an advanced Brazilian Keratin Treatment that goes beyond surface-level smoothing. It uses nano-sized amino acid molecules designed to penetrate deeply into the hair cortex, helping to reconstruct and improve the appearance of damaged, over-processed or resistant hair.
This premium treatment can deliver exceptional smoothness, shine and manageability while helping hair look healthier and more refined. It is particularly useful for clients whose hair requires both intensive care and effective texture control.
Nanoplasty may be recommended if your hair is coarse, resistant, heavily processed or difficult to manage with conventional smoothing treatments. Results can last approximately four to six months, depending on your hair and home-care routine.
Benefits may include:
- Nano-technology designed for deeper penetration
- Intensive reconstruction for damaged hair
- Long-lasting smoothness and shine
- Reduced frizz and styling effort
- Suitability for resistant hair textures
- Results that may last four to six months

Hair Straightening for Coloured, Blonde and Balayage Hair
Previous colour services can influence which straightening treatment is suitable. Bleached, highlighted and balayage hair may be more porous or fragile, while darker coloured hair can respond differently to smoothing formulas and heat.
As an experienced hair colouring salon, BellaMi understands how straightening treatments interact with coloured hair. Our blonde specialist and balayage specialist services also give our team the knowledge to assess lightened hair carefully before recommending a treatment.
We consider your colour history, existing damage and future colour plans so that services can be sequenced appropriately. In some cases, we may suggest a restorative hair treatment or an adjusted colour appointment to maintain the best possible condition.
Why Choose BellaMi as Your Hair Straightening Specialist?
Hair straightening is not simply another salon service, it is a specialist craft. Treatment selection, product application, heat control and finishing technique can all affect the quality and longevity of the result.
Our trusted team provides a highly personalised quality of service from consultation through to aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Results depend on the treatment, your hair type and how well you follow the recommended aftercare. Keratin straightening may last up to five months, while BKT Nanoplasty can provide results for approximately four to six months. Qiqi Vega is also designed to deliver long-lasting results. Your stylist can provide a more personalised estimate during your consultation.
Non-chemical hair straightening generally refers to an alternative to conventional treatments that use harsh alkaline straightening agents. BellaMi offers Qiqi Vega, a vegan, 0% alkaline and formaldehyde-free treatment that uses natural proteins to smooth and straighten the hair. We will assess your hair to determine whether it is the right option for you.
Many coloured, blonde and balayage clients can have a suitable straightening treatment. However, bleached or heavily processed hair requires careful assessment because it may be more porous or fragile. Our hair straightening specialists consider your colour history, current condition and future appointments before recommending a treatment.
A keratin treatment primarily controls frizz, softens curl and improves manageability while reinforcing the hair structure. Nanoplasty uses nano-sized amino acid molecules designed to penetrate more deeply and provide intensive smoothing and reconstruction. It may be particularly effective for damaged, over-processed, coarse or resistant hair.
Your stylist will provide aftercare instructions based on the treatment you receive. This may include waiting before washing your hair, using recommended salon-quality shampoo and conditioner, limiting unnecessary heat exposure and protecting your hair when swimming. Appropriate home care can help maintain healthy-looking hair and extend the life of your results.
