What is Schwarzkopf Strait Glatt?

The Schwarzkopf Professional Strait Glatt Hair Straightening System is the most trusted professional-grade solution for permanently straight hair available in India. Developed by Schwarzkopf — a name in professional hair care since 1898 — Glatt is the result of decades of German engineering and deep hair science.

The Glatt system is a complete two-step ritual: a Straightening Cream and a Neutralizing Balm (N). Together they break down the natural curl pattern and lock hair into a beautifully straight shape, while the built-in Keratin-Care-Complex and wheat-based care complex keep strands healthy, shiny, and strong.

Understanding the Glatt Range: 0, 1 and 2

Unlike one-size-fits-all products, Glatt comes in three variants tailored to specific hair types:

• Glatt "0" — For naturally very curly or frizzy hair. Maximum strength, ideal for thick resistant curls.
• Glatt "1" — For naturally curly or very curly coloured hair. Gentler formula with added care for colour-treated sensitivity.
• Glatt "2" — For naturally curly coloured and porous hair. Most delicate formulation for porous colour-treated hair.

Both Glatt No. 0 and Glatt No. 1 are available on Pixies.in, each bundled with the Neutralizing Balm (N) — 400ml + 400ml — at just ₹1,090.

The Science Behind Schwarzkopf Glatt

Schwarzkopf Glatt works on the principle of chemical hair restructuring. Your natural curl pattern is created by disulphide bonds in the keratin protein of your hair. Glatt's formula carefully breaks these bonds in a controlled manner, the hair is combed straight, and the Neutralizing Balm reforms those bonds in the new straight position — permanently.

What makes Glatt exceptional is the dual-care system: while the chemical process happens, the Keratin-Care-Complex and wheat proteins actively condition and strengthen the hair. This is why treated Glatt hair feels softer and more nourished, not brittle or dry as with lower-quality treatments.

Glatt vs. Keratin Treatment vs. Japanese Straightening

• Schwarzkopf Glatt — Chemical straightener with Keratin-enriched care. Permanent. Works on very curly and resistant hair. Cost-effective at ₹1,090 per full kit.
• Keratin Treatment (Brazilian Blowout) — Semi-permanent smoothing lasting 3–6 months. Reduces frizz but does not fully straighten very curly hair.
• Japanese Straightening — Intensive permanent process using heat and chemicals; typically high-end salon only at a significantly higher price point.

For most Indian hair types — naturally wavy to very curly — Schwarzkopf Glatt No. 0 or No. 1 offers the ideal balance of effectiveness, accessibility, and value.

Before & After Care Tips

Before Treatment:

• Shampoo hair 24–48 hours before treatment. Do not apply to freshly washed hair the same day.
• Do a strand test to confirm processing time and check for any adverse reaction.
• If hair has been recently coloured or bleached, wait at least 2 weeks and choose Glatt No. 1 or No. 2.
• Avoid heavy conditioning treatments the week before application.

After Treatment:

• Wait at least 72 hours before washing hair after treatment.
• Avoid ponytails, clips, or tucking behind ears for the first 3 days.
• Use a sulphate-free shampoo to prolong the straightening effect.
• Apply a nourishing hair serum regularly to maintain moisture and health.
• Minimise heat styling — your hair is already straight, so you'll need it far less.
