Brazilian Blowout
Most women want their hair to always look blow-dried and well-groomed. However, it is not easy to do this, especially in these days when the summer months make you feel better. Hair spoiled by the humidity and sweat in the air after hours of dealing with both the blow dryer and the straightener is a nightmare for all of us. Even if we give a nice shape to our hair at the hairdresser or at home, that first beautiful state of our hair will deteriorate within hours. For this reason, in recent years, procedures to prevent hair deterioration have been frequently preferred. What is a Brazilian blowout, what is it for, how to make a Brazilian blowout at home, and moreover, we answer all the questions that are curious.
Your hair is wavy or curly; but if you want it straight, one of your options is to have a Brazilian blowout. You must have heard of the Brazilian blowout application in recent years. Applying a Brazilian blow dry on hot and humid days, when your hair can easily deteriorate despite blow-drying or straightening, can save you a lot of trouble. Thanks to this application, your hair can stay straight for months. However, you need to have this application done, considering both its benefits and harms.
What is Brazilian blowout and which hair types should it be preferred by?
The high heat of blow dryers and straighteners damages the moisture layer of the hair, reduces the keratin in the hair strands, and causes the hair to dry out. Brazilian Blowout not only straightens the hair, but also provides excellent repair and care for the strands. In addition to preventing damage to the hair strands, it helps you save both time and money.
Brazilian blowout is a permanent hair straightening treatment. Just as a perm makes the hair curly for months, you can think of a Brazilian blowout as the opposite of a perm. If your hair is curly or wavy, often frizzy and electrified, this app is for you.
First of all, the hair is washed 2 times with a clarifying shampoo, dried by 80% and keratin is applied to the hair, except for the roots. After this application to the whole hair, it is waited for 20 minutes and the hair is dried with a medium-set blow dryer and straightened with a straightener between 200 or 230 degrees. After the keratin remaining in the hair for 24 to 72 hours, the hair is washed with sulfate, paraben and SLS-free shampoo. The result obtained as a result of all these applications will be smooth-looking and silky magnificent hair. However, special attention should be paid to the product ingredients used in this process.
It is more correct to apply applications such as Brazilian blow dry and keratin care by trained hairdressers. However, as the Natura Keratin brand, we have been launching this product with educational application videos and illustrated application guides for our consumers who want to apply this product at home for 10 years. Especially during the pandemic process, the closure of hairdressers and the increase in the number of people who do not want to go to the hairdresser caused an increase in the number of people who want to do these procedures at home. The most important point here is the brand and quality of the product to be used in the application. Currently, many products that have nothing to do with keratin are sold under the name of keratin in the market. Inexpensive keratins on the market contain a very high amount of formaldehyde. Although the result may seem good with the effect of formaldehyde when applied for the first time, the hair becomes even more worn after a few months when the effect wears off,” he continues: “If the keratin product you use is good, and if you pay attention to the application steps, the result will be no different than what is done at the hairdresser. Keratin should not be applied excessively during application. Applying a lot of keratin does not mean that the application will be good; on the contrary, the keratin applied in a small and thin way ensures that the application is better. Finally, the straightening phase is very important. Keratin is a heat-activated substance; therefore, a good straightening process should be done in thin tufts.
Although Brazilian blow dry is a practical application and saves time, the high amount of formaldehyde in some products can be harmful to health. Therefore, stay away from keratin brands that contain high levels of formaldehyde. At the same time, it is recommended that pregnant and lactating mothers, those with asthma and respiratory diseases should process hair botox keratins instead of Brazilian blow dry. Formaldehyde is used as a preservative not only in Brazilian blow dryers, but also in different cosmetic products. Unfortunately, there are keratins in the market, which do not have Ministry of Health notifications and are not subject to inspections, containing very high levels of formaldehyde and harmful chemicals. Operations with such products are very harmful for both your health and your hair.
How to prolong the life of a Brazilian blowout?
Saying that there are issues to be considered in order to prolong the use of the Brazilian blowout,states that the permanence of the Brazilian blowout will change depending on the type of hair, the way it is used and the products used in the application. Gathering the hair tightly after the Brazilian blow-dry, highlighting or perming can reduce the service life of the application and damage the blow-dry.
At the same time, letting the hair dry on its own after washing is a factor that shortens the effect of permanent blow dry. If you avoid such actions, you can use Brazilian blow dry for 3-6 months instead of a few months.
