KEUNE
Care Velvet Smooth Silkening Polish
Give frizz-prone, rough or unruly hair a sleek, silky and beautifully polished finish with Keune Care Velvet Smooth Silkening Polish, a lightweight gloss-enhancing serum designed to tame frizz, smooth flyaways and protect hair against humidity.
This is the finishing product in the Velvet Smooth range – and an important one if your hair tends to look beautifully smooth when styled, only to become fluffy again when exposed to humidity. Silkening Polish works instantly to seal the cuticle and create a lightweight barrier, helping maintain a smoother, more controlled finish while boosting shine.
Unlike a heavy finishing oil, Silkening Polish is designed to deliver intense frizz control with a lustrous, silky-soft finish. It can be applied to damp or dry hair and works whether you choose to blow-dry or air-dry, making it an easy addition to both polished styling and lower-maintenance routines.
The updated Velvet Smooth formula features the range's Biomimetic Lipids, plant-based keratin and Tulip Extract technology and has been reformulated for increased frizz and humidity protection.
Silkening Polish also provides heat protection up to 230°C, making it particularly useful before blow-drying or heat styling.
When used as part of Keune's tested Velvet Smooth Anti-Frizz Shampoo + Anti-Frizz Mask + Silkening Polish routine, Keune reports up to 70% less frizz, a 48-hour anti-frizz effect and 48-hour humidity protection.
The result? Smoother, softer and glossier hair with controlled frizz, fewer flyaways and a polished finish designed to stand up better to humidity.

Velvet Smooth Technology
Biomimetic Lipids
Biomimetic Lipids are designed to mimic elements of the hair's own protective lipid layer.
They support the Velvet Smooth range's focus on restoring moisture balance, reinforcing the cuticle and creating a smoother, more frizz-resistant hair surface.
For frizz-prone hair, that smoother surface is important because it helps create the sleek, controlled foundation needed for a polished finish.
Plant-Based Keratin
The new-generation Silkening Polish has been reformulated with plant-based keratin.
Keune identifies the updated formula as providing increased frizz and humidity protection as part of its 2026 Velvet Smooth range.
Tulip Extract
Tulip Extract is the botanical featured throughout Velvet Smooth, complementing the range's focus on hydration, softness and smoothing.
Together with Velvet Smooth's smoothing technology, it supports softer, silkier and more manageable hair.
Why Silkening Polish Is Different
Silkening Polish isn't simply a shine serum.
Its job is to combine finish + frizz control + humidity protection + heat protection in one lightweight styling step.
Use it when you want:
Frizz Control
Helps tame rough, unruly strands and flyaways.
Humidity Protection
Creates a lightweight barrier to help prevent humidity from disrupting your finished style.
Gloss
Boosts shine for a silky, polished finish.
Heat Protection
Protects hair from heat up to 230°C.
Flexible Styling
Use on damp or dry hair, whether you're blow-drying, heat styling or air-drying.
How to Use
Apply a few pumps through damp or dry hair.
Distribute through the lengths and ends.
Style as desired.
Silkening Polish can be used for blow-drying or air-drying.
Start with a small amount, particularly on finer hair, and add more only if needed.
The Velvet Smooth Routine
Step 1 – Cleanse
Use Velvet Smooth Anti-Frizz Shampoo.
Step 2 – Intensively Smooth
Apply Velvet Smooth Anti-Frizz Mask for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Step 3 – Polish & Protect
Apply Velvet Smooth Silkening Polish through damp hair before styling.
This three-product combination is the specific routine Keune tested for its strongest frizz and humidity claims.
Velvet Smooth Results
When Anti-Frizz Shampoo + Anti-Frizz Mask + Silkening Polish are used together, Keune reports:
Up to 70% less frizz*
48-hour anti-frizz effect*
48-hour humidity protection*
Silkening Polish also provides:
Heat protection up to 230°C / 450°F
The frizz and humidity results relate specifically to the tested three-product routine, rather than Silkening Polish used alone.
Silkening Polish vs 2-Phase Spray
Both are Velvet Smooth leave-in products, but they serve different purposes.
Choose 2-Phase Spray if:
Your priority is lightweight conditioning, detangling and easier manageability after washing.
Choose Silkening Polish if:
Your priority is stronger frizz control, humidity protection, shine and heat protection during styling.
For particularly frizz-prone hair, the two can play different roles within the same personalised routine rather than necessarily replacing one another.
Pro Tip from About Face
If your blow-dry looks smooth indoors but starts becoming fluffy the moment you walk outside into Sydney humidity, Silkening Polish is the Velvet Smooth product we'd focus on at the styling stage.
Apply a few pumps through damp hair before blow-drying. It gives you heat protection up to 230°C while helping create the lightweight humidity barrier needed to keep your finished style smoother for longer.
And if humidity is a major issue for your hair, pair it with Velvet Smooth Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Anti-Frizz Mask – that's the exact routine Keune tested for up to 70% less frizz and 48-hour humidity protection.
Care & Storage
Keep the container securely closed when not in use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Avoid storing immediately beside heated styling tools.
Use a small amount at a time and keep the pump clean between uses.
