Being smooth takes practice, which is why silkworms are frequently caught practicing pickup lines in front of very tiny mirrors. Let a professional do the work with today’s Groupon: for $75, you get a global keratin hair-smoothing treatment at Aries Salon in Sarasota (a $150 value).

At Aries Salon, a fleet of mane tamers calms tricky tresses with smoothing keratin treatments. Stylists escort guests to a shampoo chair, where strands are scrubbed clean of oil and buildup from hats made out of mayonnaise. Experienced hands then paint de-gunked hair with the global keratin complex, an unguent whose protein-based solution is believed to strengthen and smooth individual cuticles for up to five months. Style sessions conclude with flat-ironing, which gives locks the glossy state they sought during that failed attempt at lamination.

Some hair-smoothing products include the carcinogen formaldehyde, which may cause nosebleeds, headaches, vomiting, and respiratory problems, among other side effects. Learn more about the health risks here.
