Wella Professionals

Smoothfiller®: Smooth. Fill. Restructure.

Distributor: mhb



Wella Professionals Smoothfiller® offers clients who struggle to keep their hair smooth and manageable, a new approach to smoothing. This demi-permanent treatment works from within the hair, using an organic acid as its active ingredient. Heat activated, it penetrates the hair structure, filling gaps in the protein structure and creating new, stable bonds. Wella’s Smart Delivery System helps deliver the active ingredient deep into the cortex and cuticle rather than simply coating the hair’s surface.


The result is smoother hair, reduced frizz and faster, easier styling, with the smoothing effect gradually fading without visible regrowth. The treatment has a 20-minute development time and there are no post-service restrictions, so clients can wash their hair immediately after the service.


A Smoothfiller® treatment can also be followed by a same-day Color Touch colour refresh, although colour results may be less intense than usual.

The formula contains just eight carefully selected ingredients and is silicone-free, mineral oil-free and fragrance-free. It is also vegan and dermatologically tested.


Available for professional use only in 200 ml and 500 ml sizes from your mhb sales consultant or mhb Telesales on 0860 104 109.

Sweet Professional

Hair Smoothing Without the Chemicals

Distributor: mhb



At the heart of Brazil’s Sweet Professional brand, is the world’s first hair straightening shampoo, The First Shampoo. This paraben- and formaldehyde-free product uses an acidic, low-pH system to create polished results without the harmful effects associated with traditional chemical straightening.

 

A blend of organic acids, activated under controlled heat, helps reduce frizz, improve manageability and deliver smooth, polished hair with natural movement. Rather than simply coating the hair, Sweet’s formula works with the hair fibre and the way it responds to the treatment process. This helps achieve a smoother, more disciplined finish across different hair types and textures, making everyday styling easier for your client. Application is efficient and straightforward, every stylist’s dream!


Mhb, exclusive distributors of Sweet Professional in South Africa, invites you to experience the range in a fresh new way. To place an order, please contact your mhb sales consultant. If you are a new client, please call mhb Telesales on 0860 104 109 and a sales consultant will be in touch.
