Brazillian Blowout

Niksik · September 12, 2011, 10:42pm

So my hairstylist convinced me to get a Braziallian Blowout treatment for my frizzy hair. For $150, the treatment should last about 3-4 months if I shampoo 3-4 times a week. She said she was very pleased with results of other clients, and that I could choose not to re do it if I don’t like it.

Any testimonials?

I had the option of doing this too but I didn't because so far...I have heard it damages hair quite a bit.

If your hair can handle a little bit of hair loss, I would go for it.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

I have heard its less damaging than the Japanese straightening...

I wish there was that kind of treatment for hair that's already fine/silky and in dire need of volume :(

Re: Brazillian Blowout

Is it same as Keratin Treatment?

Oh boy, the article is scary

Re: Brazillian Blowout

If its Keratin treatment then it has Formaldehyde which is cancer causing & a big No NO for hair. I have a friend who got it done & had excessive hair fall .. like literally balls of hair every time she ran her hand through her hair.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

No it's not the keratin...but after reading the article above, I was looking at the website and while the website claims they do not contain formaldehyde, the article says it does. Now I'm confused.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

I think they are similar and do contain health hazards. I dropped the idea of getting it done based on the health issues and the excessive hair fall as well.

Don't do it! In the beginning, your hair will look smooth and silky, but gradually, will be falling out and feeling like straw.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

The stylist told me that it will make the hair stronger as it gets coated with some protein thingie :(

Re: Brazillian Blowout

I got it done and I had no major problems with it. I loved it but this is before the FDA came out with the risks, why not get a keratin treatment done instead?

Re: Brazillian Blowout

Re: Brazillian Blowout

I say go with a kertain treatment, when I got mine done it was before the FDA came out with all the risks so now I wouldn't do it. I would love to get a keratin treatment done tho.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

I say dont go with Keratin, Brazilian or any protein treatment - If FDA doesnt approve it because of major health hazards and a million people complain of excessive hair fall .. why take the risk?

Re: Brazillian Blowout

That's true and maintenance after a few months can get expensive. I feel like investing in good products like the kerastase serums and a good blow dryer/hairstraightner will help you achieve just as good of a look.

Re: Brazillian Blowout

That's probably a better idea.
