- Q. Who is the best candidate for the Brazilian Blowout?
- A. It has been our experience, that good candidates for the
Brazilian Blowout are anyone who has frizzy, damaged or processed
hair. We have performed the treatment on every hair type (fine/course/frizzy,
curly), as well as hair that has been permed, Japanese straightened
and extensions. In doing so, we have found that with proper
communication and a well considered application, everyone can
benefit from the Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment.
- Q. What kind of look will you get from the Brazilian Blowout?
- A. The hair will be left totally frizz-free, shiny, effortlessly
manageable and with plenty of body and bounce. There will
still be the option to wear hair curly/wavy (depending on the
hair type) and the freedom to blow dry hair smooth and straight
in a fraction of the time invested prior to receiving the treatment.
- Q. Can I still receive a Brazilian Blowout if I have highlights
and/or color?
- A. Yes, the Brazilian Blowout will actually improve the health
of color-treated/highlighted hair by conditioning the hair while
sealing the cuticle for enhanced color, reduced frizz and radiant
shine.
- Q. Is the Brazilian Blowout going to make my hair straight?
- A. If your hair is wavy, the Brazilian Blowout will make your
hair appear naturally straight and healthy. If your hair is very
curly, it will minimize frizz while enhancing the appearance of
the natural wave/curl. If you have straight, frizzy hair, this
treatment will eliminate frizz and promote radiant shine.
- Q. How long does the Brazilian Blowout last?
- A. The Brazilian Blowout will last for 10-12 weeks if the Acai
After-Care Maintenance product line is used. The Brazilian Blowout
is a cumulative treatment, in that the more you receive it, the
healthier the hair will be and the longer the result will last.
- Q. Can you apply the Brazilian Blowout directly on top of other
relaxers and strengtheners?
- A. Yes. The Brazilian Blowout actually works best on chemically
treated hair, and helps to improve the hairs condition by fortifying
each strand with essential amino acids.
The Brazilian Blowout works great directly on top of a relaxer.
Perform the relaxer first, Brazilian Blowout next, and then neutralize
at the very end of both treatments.
The Brazilian Blowout is great to perform when someone is trying
to move away from having relaxers or Japanese straighteners.
It puts movement back into the hair, allowing the hair to look
its best.
- Q. Will my hair lose volume if I receive the Brazilian Blowout?
- A. No, your hair will not lose volume as a result of receiving
the Brazilian Blowout. Your hair will maintain its natural volume
and you will still receive great bend and memory when blow-drying
and/or using a curling iron.
- Q. Will my hair return to its original state after the Brazilian
Blowout treatment has completed its life cycle?
- A. Yes, the hair will revert to its original state once the
Brazilian Blowout treatment has completed its life cycle of 10-12
weeks, however, the condition of the hair will actually improve
as a result of the fortifying and conditioning nature of the product.
- Q. Can you color your hair the same day you receive a Brazilian
Blowout?
- A. Yes, however, you must color your hair prior to having the
Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment. If you are coloring hair
dark brunette or red, you will want to color the hair a shade
darker than you otherwise would, as the hair color will experience
fading during the Brazilian Blowout treatment.
- Q. Can you swim in the pool or ocean after you have the Brazilian
Blowout treatment?
- A. Yes, you can swim in either the pool or the ocean after you
receive the Brazilian Blowout treatment, however, the treatment
may be slightly compromised if you swim on a regular basis. We
recommend that you apply the Brazilian Blowout Smoothing Serum
on the hair prior to swimming in order to act as a protective
barrier to maintain the smoothest possible result for the longest
period of time.
- Q. How soon can you touch up your color after you receive the
Brazilian Blowout Treatment?
- A. You should wait at least two weeks to administer color to
the hair after you receive the Brazilian Blowout, as the color
will not deposit as effectively with the protein protective layer
provided by the smoothing treatment.
If your clients need to touch up color/roots in between treatments,
this is ok, as the hair being touched up is new growth and does
not have the treatment on it. If you need to highlight or
pull the full color through the entire head of hair, make sure
that the client is using the Brazilian Blowout masque at least
once or twice a week to fortify the treatment back into the hair.
- Q. How soon can I wash my hair after the Brazilian Blowout treatment?
- A. You can wash your hair immediately after the Brazilian Blowout
treatment, or as you would normally.
- Q. Can I receive the Brazilian Blowout if I have over-processed
blonde hair? What if my hair is platinum blonde?
- A. It is important for every stylist to assess the condition
of the client’s hair to make sure it is in a healthy enough
state to apply extreme heat through the use of a flat iron. If
it is felt that the hair is in questionable condition, the recommendation
is to turn the flat iron down from 450 degrees to approx. 380-420.
The stylist will have to determine the appropriate amount of heat
to apply.
- Q. Can you perform a Brazilian Blowout on extensions?
- A. Yes, the Brazilian Blowout performs perfectly on hair extensions.
It would be best for the stylist to perform the Brazilian Blowout
separately on the extensions prior to putting them into the hair.
If you wish to perform the treatment on extensions that are already
in the hair, the stylist will need to be extremely careful when
applying the solution to the bonded area. Brazilian Blowout solution
acts as a conditioning agent, and may create slip resulting in
the extensions separating from the hair. If the stylist is careful
and works to first separate the extension hair from the client’s
own hair, a great result can be achieved.
- Q. Can I receive a Brazilian Blowout if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
- A. There have been no clinical tests performed on the safety
of performing the Brazilian Blowout on pregnant women or women
who are breastfeeding. As a result, we do advise against pregnant
or breastfeeding women receiving the Brazilian Blowout treatment.
- Q. How soon can I receive a Brazilian Blowout treatment after
I receive my first treatment?
- A. The Brazilian Blowout is just like a conditioning treatment,
so you will not harm the hair by performing them too soon or too
much, however, please remember that you can only fill the cuticle
to its capacity. If a client wants to come back for another
treatment, or it did not take to the hair the way it should have,
you can have the client come back in 10 days
following the first treatment.
- Q. What is the active chemical in the Brazilian Blowout solution
that makes it work so well?
- A. The Brazilian Blowout smooths the hair through the use of
a proprietary polymer system that bonds amino acids to the surface
of the hair. This treatment is 100% salon safe. What makes
the Brazilian Blowout treatment effective is our use of the Super
Nutrient Complex in conjunction with a proprietary polymer system.
This combination is what rounds the follicle, smooths the cuticle
and repairs any preexisting damage.
- Q. How is the Brazilian Blowout different from the Japanese
straightening method many people are familiar with?
- A. Japanese hair straightening changes the actual structure
of the hair. In doing so, there is an obvious difference
between the new hair growth and the hair that has been treated,
resulting in a life-long commitment to continuing the straightener
or cutting hair off (if client is unhappy with the result).
This service can also leave the hair flat, too straight and with
little to no shine or luster. The hair's integrity seems to be
compromised, and after a few treatments, the hair appears to be
in an unhealthy state.
