However, a Brazilian Blowout can certainly cut down your drying time significantly. Many women find that their hair is easier to style overall, air dries without frizz and lots of body, and can be blow dried or straightened in half the time or less.
Generally, a Brazilian Blowout treatment will take 1 to 2 hours depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Your stylist will begin the process by shampooing your hair 3 to 4 times to remove product buildup and oil to ensure the treatment adheres to your strands properly. The next step is to apply the Brazilian Blowout formula to sections of your hair from root to tip, ensuring each strand is thoroughly coated.
The hair will then be blow dried and flat ironed to seal in the treatment. Finally, your hair will be rinsed and deep conditioned before being blow dried a final time. Typically, you're advised to avoid washing your hair for 48 hours to maximize the lifespan of your treatment. It's important to use a gentle, sulfate-free and chlorine-free shampoo after a Brazilian Blowout. Typically, your treatment should last 3 to 4 months with proper care and maintenance, and even longer if you wash your hair less frequently.
The fact is, Brazilian Blowouts have come a long way thanks to more stringent regulations and awareness surrounding the toxicity of chemicals like formaldehyde. However, it is still a chemical treatment and there are numerous brands which manufacture variations of the Brazilian Blowout treatment so it's important to go to a stylist you trust who can ensure the treatment is conducted safely and who uses a trusted brand.
If you live in Canada or the European Union, you're in luck because formaldehyde, a common ingredient in Brazilian Blowouts which helps to effectively straighten the hair, is banned. However, while regulations have been set in place, the ingredient is still permitted in the United States. Formaldehyde, along with methylene glycol are both active ingredients in a Brazilian Blowout which are responsible for binding the keratin to the hair, so while you may be compromising efficacy a little bit, we recommend steering clear of these ingredients or looking for brands which use minimal amounts.
Furthermore, since formaldehyde has been classified as a major occupational hazard, a known carcinogen, and has been associated with nasal and eye irritation, along with being implicated in the development of childhood asthma, it's vital to do your research and see a stylist you trust. It also doesn't hurt to wear a mask during the treatment to protect yourself from any potential risks. While it's better to be safe than sorry, in most cases, Brazilian Blowout varieties are safe.
However, there have been instances of stylists using banned varieties since they yield a more effective result, so be sure to ask for the brand name ahead of time and do your research. For the most part, Brazilian Blowout formulas that dominate the marketplace nowadays aren't harmful. While some varieties contain formaldehyde, the amount is very minimal. If the treatment is done correctly, your hair will feel healthier and more moisturized afterward. If your hair feels damaged after a treatment, chances are your stylist is going over your hair too hard and at too high a temperature with a flat iron causing breakage and heat damage.

How long does a Brazilian Blowout treatment last? How long does the Brazilian Blowout process take? This removes all product so that the formula can attach. Working in sections, the Brazilian Blowout treatment is applied with a brush from root to tip. Just be sure to read all of the instructions and warnings thoroughly.
Even at-home formulas are not without health risk, and even though Nutree's formula is formaldehyde-free, it still contains powerful chemicals. Garwood advises that with any chemical product including any formaldehyde-free protein treatment you might purchase online , you want to do a patch test at least 48 hours before you apply anything near the scalp.
A patch test is more about addressing any potential reaction you may have to the treatment, whereas a strand test which you may have heard of before with highlighting your own hair is something you do to gauge the results on the hair. If you find any burns or irritations to your skin, contact your physician immediately for medical advice.
To get started, you'll need to wash your hair. Not just once, but three times. According to Duenas, your blowout solution works best on porous hair. After you've thoroughly washed your hair, you're going to take three simple steps to get you and your hair ready to move forward:. When it comes time to apply your treatment, Duenas tell us to get started on the back sections first.
You'll be using the pointed end of your color brush as you would a tail comb to weave out small subsections of hair. Start by taking thin, diagonal slices from the top and once you've painted it with solution, the way you would with hair color, gently lay it over onto the other side avoiding the front sections of your hair. You'll apply at the root first and make your way down through the ends. The ends don't require as much product as the roots do. Also, a little goes a long way with these solutions.
Keep your application lightly saturated. You don't need to scoop up a glob onto your brush. The longer the product stays on, the flatter your strands will get in their outcome, but Duenas says no other issues could arise if left on for too long.
It's better to move about with caution and confidence. During this entire process, don't forget the seriousness of the chemicals you're dealing with. Stop immediately and consult a physician if you experience any scalp irritation, intense dizziness, any hot feeling around the product's application, or anything else that resembles some sort of allergic reaction. After your hair is saturated and the solution is evenly distributed to your hair, you're going to grab your blow dryer.
This is the part that may cause dizziness or lightheadedness because the heat is what emits those potent chemicals into the air. Please keep this in mind and be prepared to stop if needed. Your application essentially puts a keratin coat back into your hair shaft. Garwood tells us the keratin for these treatments is generally keratin derived from animal horns, hooves, wool, etc. By combining that keratin with heat and blow drying it into the hair, the heat will help it penetrate into the hair's cortex, she explains.
Now that the hair is dried and the bonds of each strand have been rebuilt, it's time to seal it all in. This of course requires another round of heat because heat is what alters the state of the hair. If you have finer hair that is more damaged or had been previously processed in some way prior to this treatment, heat your flat iron up to degrees. For thicker, healthier hair, amp it up to degrees.
The best types of flat irons for this process, as Duenas suggested above in our materials list, are 1 a wide plated flat iron with titanium plates and 2 a smaller, thinner-plated flat iron for detailing the hairline and getting those hard to reach areas. Wider plates help you cover more surface area, but when it comes to those roots, you really want that small iron to help you get as close as possible to ironing out any kinks. Titanium plates are going to heat up to high temperatures more quickly than ceramic plates and they'll evenly distribute the heat.
