What Are Brazilian Blowouts?
Brazilian blowouts are a professional smoothing treatment, where your hair is coated in a liquid keratin formula, then the coating is sealed in with heat to reduce frizz, soften texture and boost shine.
You can still keep your hair’s natural wave or curl pattern, but you’ll get a more uniform, smooth finish and faster drying time.
The coating can reduce your hair’s moisture loss, and cut down on your daily heat use and brushing stress, so it can actually support your hair’s health when you maintain it properly.
A Brazilian blowout is a professional smoothing treatment that coats your hair with a liquid keratin formula, then seals it in with heat to reduce frizz, soften texture, and boost shine. You use it as a salon hair treatment when you want easier manageability without permanently straightening your strands.
Brazilian Blowout Application Process
You’ll start with a clarifying cleanse to remove build-up from the hair, so the formula can bond evenly on your hair.
Next, your stylist will section off your damp hair and brush on the solution from your roots to ends, ensuring each panel is saturated in solution, without dripping.
After the brief processing period, they’ll blow-dry you smooth, then flat-iron in small passes, to seal in the coating and refine your hair’s texture, finishing with a rinse and sealing masque.
You’ll enjoy instant benefits like reduced frizz, faster hair styling and a sleeker look. It takes around 90 minutes to two hours for the application process, but it depends on your hair’s length and density, it can take a little longer.
Do Brazilian Blowouts Work On Gray Hair?
Gray hairs can feel wiry and dry, so a Brazilian blowout can work wonder on reducing frizz, adding slip and make your blow-drying faster.
As long as you use sulfate-free shampoo, do consistent conditioning, and use minimal heat, you’ll notice an improvement in the condition and texture of your grays.
For how long the treatment will last, it depends on how often you wash your hair, if you have hard water, and whether you use a clarifying shampoo within your weekly haircare routine.
It is likely to last for 8 to 12 weeks, if you look after your hair. Make sure you follow your salon’s recommendations on helping to maintain the treatment during that time, so you don’t end up overdrying your grays.
