Pureology Smooth Perfection Smoothing Lotion is a lightweight, leave-in lotion built to protect hair from heat styling while smoothing frizz and flyaways. Unlike Pureology's silicone-free Curl Complete Taming Butter, this formula uses dimethicone and PG-amodimethicone to create the smooth, polished slip that makes it effective as a blow-dry primer -- the silicone content is what gives it heat-shielding and anti-frizz performance that an oil-and-butter formula alone doesn't provide. It protects hair from styling heat up to 450 F and helps control frizz for up to 72 hours, with xylose and coconut oil included to support moisture and softness alongside the smoothing agents.
It works two ways: as a pre-blow-dry primer for a smoother finish and faster styling, or applied sparingly to dry hair as a touch-up for flyaways without a full restyle. Like the rest of Pureology's line, it's built into the brand's color-care system, so it's formulated to be compatible with color-treated hair rather than stripping tone with regular use. Because it's a smoothing, heat-protecting lotion rather than a curl-defining product, it isn't the right pick if you're trying to enhance texture or curl pattern -- that's what Pureology's Curl Complete products are for.
