What is better than a Brazilian blowout?
Questions like “what is better than that?” cannot be answered in one word as there are so many different aspects and measures of comparison. If a specific aspect is mentioned, there can only be a direct answer. For example, in the case of longevity, rebounding is better than a Brazilian blowout. If you are concerned about the use of harsh chemicals, the Keratin treatment may be preferable.
But suppose you think about the complete scenario. In that case, none of these can compete with Brazilian Blowout, which is the best option for fastening extremely bulky curls at a low cost and with little maintenance. If you don’t have any very specific requirements, then go for a Brazilian blowout without giving it a second thought.
What is a mini Brazilian Blowout?
Mini Brazilian Blowout is actually the same thing as Brazilian blowout express. The express or mini version is less time-consuming than the original Brazilian blowout treatment. Unlike the regular one, in the mini version, cleansing and smoothing are done in just one step. It would work best if you entered the salon with fully clean hair. People often prefer the Brazilian mini Blowout for three main reasons, which are:
- More affordable
- Fewer steps and
- Less time-consuming
One can get the mini Brazilian Blowout done during their lunch break, while for regular treatment, a whole day is required. But the results may differ noticeably. If you are not that busy and want to get the best result, go for the original one.
What is the Brazilian Blowout process?
The process ng Brazilian Blowout treatment is done by following 8 or 9 specific and simple steps. Those steps are mentioned briefly below to give you a clear idea:
- The hair is washed thoroughly in the 1st step. If you are willing to have the express or mini version, then this step will not be included in the treatment process.
- Then the most appropriate and natural formula from a trusted local store should be chosen.
- A patch test is a must before applying the solution to your scalp.
- Then comes the most vital part, applying the solution properly from tip to root and distributing it evenly.
- After that, the hair will be blow-dried so that the solution can get absorbed.
- A flat iron would be used on the hair to get the required structure and seal the product perfectly.
- Hair will be rinsed using lukewarm water for a few minutes.
- The hair should be dried slightly using a towel and applied a deep conditioning masque.
- The last step of the treatment is blow-drying the hair to get the final result.
How long should Brazilian Blowout last?
As Brazilian Blowout is a semi-permanent treatment, it approximately lasts for 3 to 4 months, or maybe a few days more if taken care of properly. The key to making it last is is- follow some easy and basic tips, or maybe rules. Such as-
- Not washing the hair too frequently.
- Not exposing the hair to rain, sun, or pool water too often.
- Limiting the use of styling products.
- Choosing suitable hair products (like- shampoo or conditioner) for hair with such treatments.
- Keeping the hair untied almost all the time.
- Using a silk pillowcase.
So if you follow the above-mentioned tips, your silky straight hair after treatment will last for quite as long as four months. You may have other benefits like- having healthy hair naturally or not having too many bulks even before doing the treatment; these will help to last your treatment even longer. Just be careful and take good care of your post-treatment hair; your hair will remain as straight and silky as the first day for at least three months or more.
How often to have Brazilian Blowout?
There is no exact answer to this question because the answer can vary depending on multiple things. Such as your hair’s health, how long your last treatment lasted, and how carefully you maintain your hair after having the Brazilian Blowout treatment done. Typically, each Brazilian Blowout treatment lasts around 3 to 4 months or more if you wash your hair less frequently, take proper care, and have naturally healthy hair naturally.
When the effectiveness of the treatment is gone, your hair will probably be slightly damaged. Observe carefully how damaged your hair seems at that time. If it is not much visible, then you can go for another Brazilian blowout treatment. But if your hair looks very damaged and unhealthy, as per experts’ suggestions, you should first trim your hair, take good care of it for several days, and then go for another session.
