Frizz, Managed: Discover the New Wella Ultimate Smooth Range

Frizz is one of the most common concerns we hear about in our salons. It doesn’t matter if your hair is thick, fine, curly, or straight – when hair lacks moisture or is exposed to humidity, frizz shows up. It’s frustrating, it makes styling harder, and it can leave hair looking dull or rough. That’s why we're genuinely excited about the launch of Wella Professionals’ new Ultimate Smooth range – because it’s not just another smoothing shampoo and conditioner. It’s science-backed, stylist-approved care for unruly hair that actually works.

The Formula: How Ultimate Smooth Actually Works

The Wella Ultimate Smooth collection has been developed to manage frizz from both the inside and outside of the hair fibre. The star ingredients here are Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Omega-9. These two ingredients work together in a smart way. AHA penetrates deep into the hair to rebuild its structure and strengthen it from within. Omega-9 stays on the surface to seal the cuticle and smooth out the texture. This combination leads to noticeably softer, shinier, and more manageable hair with every use.

Tried, Tested, Approved: What the Results Really Say

In consumer tests conducted by Wella, 9 out of 10 people saw smoother hair after just one use of the shampoo and conditioner. Frizz was visibly reduced for up to 72 hours after styling. Even more interesting – results were consistent across hair types, including curly and coarse textures, which are notoriously harder to tame. These aren’t temporary results from a heavy coating or silicone overload. This is a lightweight, nourishing system that improves the condition of your hair over time.

Your Ultimate Smooth Routine

Achieving sleek, glossy hair starts with the right steps - and the Wella Ultimate Smooth system delivers a full routine that’s easy to follow, salon-worthy, and designed for real-life results.

Step 1.
Ultimate SMOOTH Shampoo

This rich-lathering cleanser is your reset button. Designed to gently lift away product buildup, dulling residue, and environmental stressors, it prepares your hair for deep hydration. Infused with Wella’s Metal Purifier Technology, it also helps remove heavy metals that can affect shine and manageability -especially important for those in urban or hard-water environments. Colour-treated hair? No worries. This formula is completely colour-safe. Massage into wet hair, rinse, and repeat if needed.

Step 2.
Ultimate SMOOTH CONDITIONER

Think of this as your instant smooth operator. This lightweight, nourishing conditioner melts through knots and frizz in seconds, delivering softness and a smoother finish without dragging down fine strands. It works on the inside to moisturise, and on the outside to seal and protect. Apply to clean, damp mid-lengths and ends, leave in for up to three minutes, then rinse well for hair that feels refreshed and looks salon-finished.

Step 3.
Ultimate SMOOTH Mask

For a deeper, more restorative moment, reach for the Ultimate Smooth Mask. This ultra-creamy treatment wraps each strand in moisture and anti-frizz care, transforming rough or dry areas into silky, controlled hair. It’s ideal for weekly use, or whenever your hair feels stressed or uncooperative. After shampooing, apply generously to towel-dried hair, leave on for 5–10 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. The result? Hair that feels luxuriously soft and far easier to style.

Step 4.
Ultimate SMOOTH MIRACLE OIL SERUM

Your final step is your secret weapon. This featherlight oil-serum hybrid not only gives the hair a glossy, polished finish, it also offers protection from heat styling (up to 230°C) and UV exposure. It keeps frizz under control for up to 96 hours, making it a must-have for humid days or smoothing down second-day styles. Use 1–3 pumps on damp hair before styling, or run a small amount through dry ends to refresh your look. Either way, it’s the finish that makes everything come together.

Ultimate Smooth vs Ultimate Repair - Which is Right for You?

A lot of people are now asking: how do I know if I need Ultimate Smooth or Ultimate Repair?

Here’s a practical breakdown:

If your hair is generally healthy but becomes puffy, frizzy, or unmanageable – especially in humid weather or after heat styling – you’re a good candidate for Ultimate Smooth.

If your hair is damaged from bleaching, colouring, or excessive heat, and it feels weak, stretchy when wet, or breaks easily, then you may benefit more from the reparative strength of the Ultimate Repair line.

In some cases, using both is a good idea. For example, you might use Ultimate Repair Shampoo and Mask to rebuild internal strength, followed by the Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum for softness and style control.
