Summer has yet to arrive and already the heat and humidity have returned here in Texas. For those with a frizz-prone mane, this means difficulty styling your unmanageable tresses. It’s best to get a handle on the problem before summer hits you full force and your hair takes on a life of its own. But how can you get rid of the frizz and still enjoy all of your favorite outdoor activities this summer? There is one salon treatment that can give you gorgeous smooth strands all summer long - the Brazilian blowout treatment. This one treatment can address the issues of sun damage, heat, humidity, pool chemicals, and salt water to keep your hair sleek and effortlessly manageable throughout the entire season. Now, let’s get to know this hair care miracle a little better.
What Is A Brazilian Blowout?
A Brazilian blowout is a premium salon hair smoothing treatment. This semi-permanent treatment takes about 80 minutes from start to finish to smooth and seal your cuticle for weeks to lock in vital moisture, block excess humidity, and banish frizz for up to 12 weeks at a time. That’s an entire season! It’s the perfect frizzy hair solution for anyone that would like to improve the health and appearance of their hair.
Improve Your Hair’s Health
The structure of your hair is made up of mostly protein, approximately 95% keratin to be exact. Over time environmental stressors like sun damage, exposure to pollution, heat styling, and chemical processing can damage the keratin leaving gaps in your cuticle. This causes hair to dry out, become brittle, and break and allows frizz causing humidity in. A Brazilian blowout coats your hair with this vital protein to replace the damaged keratin and acts as a hair conditioning treatment to seal the gaps and strengthen and smooth your hair. Your hair will look and feel healthier and more resilient after a single treatment.
Great For All Hair Types And Textures, Even Curls
Yes, you read that right. A Brazilian blowout is great for ALL hair types and textures, even curly hair. It doesn’t matter if your hair is long, short, coarse, fine, curly, straight, thick, or thin. A Brazilia blowout is customizable to give you the smooth, frizz-free strands you’ve always dreamed of, and you don’t have to sacrifice your curls to get it. While it can be used as a straightening treatment, If you’d like to preserve your waves or curls it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation with your stylist beforehand. This will allow them to better understand what you want and analyze your curl pattern to customize your treatment to achieve the desired results. Imagine having soft frizz-free curls even when it’s pouring down rain!
Creates Unbelievable Shine
Truly healthy hair has a sheen to it that is unmistakable. Damaged, unhealthy hair with a rough cuticle doesn’t reflect the light like healthy hair does and so it lacks that unmistakable sheen of hair that is full of life. This professional hair treatment not only provides hair frizz control, but it also seals your rough cuticles to create unbelievable shine.
Saves Drying And Styling Time
Can you imagine a summer free from anti-frizz serums, flat irons, anti-humidity sprays, and checking the weather forecast before styling your hair for the day? A Brazillian blowout will give you just that. You won’t have to spend hours in front of the mirror to get the smooth, soft styles that you want. You’ll just wake up every morning with lovely locks that are manageable and easy to style. And your hair will also dry up to 60% faster after your treatment getting you out the door even faster on busy mornings.
Aftercare Of Your Brazilian Blowout
There are no complicated aftercare instructions following a Brazilian blowout. You will need to avoid shampooing your hair or getting it wet for 24 hours, and when you do shampoo your hair you will want to use a sulfate-free shampoo like Redken or Pureology which we carry here at the salon. Your stylist will give you a personal haircare recommendation to keep your tresses in tip-top shape. You can further extend the life of your treatment by applying a UV protectant and minimizing exposure to pool chemicals by wetting your hair with fresh water before swimming and rinsing thoroughly with fresh cool water after exiting the pool.
Coloring Your Hair
You can color your hair the same day as your Brazilian blowout. The hair color should be applied before the blowout. If you want to color your hair after having a Brazilian blowout you should wait at least two weeks.
Brazilian Blowout VS Keratin Treatment
Both smooth hair treatments use keratin to smooth and strengthen your hair. The advantages of a Brazilian blowout include faster results, fewer restrictions after the treatment, and lower cost. A keratin treatment can take three hours or more and it requires you to avoid shampooing or wetting your hair or styling it for three days after the treatment. A Brazilian blowout gets you back to enjoying all of your favorite activities the next day.
