Perfect for busy lifestyles, this innovative, biotechnological treatment dramatically reduces styling time while keeping hair healthy, manageable, and full of movement – without compromising volume.
At Renee Yates Hair, we personalise every AURA smoothing treatment to suit your hair's unique needs, using expert techniques that protect and enhance colour-treated and delicate hair, as well as provide aftercare advice.

AURA by Lakmé is an advanced biotechnological keratin smoothing treatment formulated with organic ingredients to smooth, strengthen, and protect the hair — without the harsh chemicals used in traditional keratin treatments.
Unlike older formulas, AURA is formaldehyde-free and designed to maintain your hair’s natural movement and volume while reducing frizz and enhancing shine. It’s a gentler, more modern approach to keratin smoothing, suitable for all hair types, including colour-treated and sensitised hair.
AURA works by infusing the hair with a blend of hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, and frizz-control technology to deeply hydrate and reinforce the hair structure.
Hyaluronic Acid delivers intense hydration for softness and elasticity
Collagen Peptides help strengthen and restore damaged strands
Frizz-Control Technology forms a protective barrier to lock in smoothness
The result is smoother, more manageable hair that resists humidity while maintaining a natural, lightweight finish — never flat or overly straight.
Expect smoother, frizz-free hair with enhanced shine and reduced styling time, all while maintaining your natural texture.

Can I get a keratin smoothing treatment if I already have hair extensions?
If you're interested in combining hair extensions and an Aura keratin treatment, discuss with our styling team at the time of your consultation, and we will tailor a plan to suit your needs.
Will AURA keratin smoothing completely straighten my hair?
No, AURA isn't a permanent straightening service. Your natural curl pattern is still respected, but the hair becomes softer, smoother, and easier to manage. With Beauty or Excellence, curls are loosened and refined, making styling much quicker and reducing frizz.
Why isn't the Aura Express treatment suitable for curly hair?
The Express service is designed as a quick smoothing option that reduces frizz and speeds up blow-drying. It relies on heat activation during the blow-dry to lock in the results. For curly hair, this isn't enough to create lasting smoothness — the moment curls are washed and left to dry naturally, they'll bounce back to their original shape with little change.
Can I just let my hair air dry after an AURA beauty treatment?
The AURA Beauty treatment softens curls and reduces frizz, but it requires styling to reveal the best results. For curly textures, simply air-drying after this treatment often isn't enough — the hair may still feel unruly, and the results won't last as long. Blow-drying or styling helps set the treatment, which is why we guide curly-haired clients toward the Excellence option for the strongest and most consistent outcome.
