Brazilian Blowouts....

So lets talk about the Brazilian Blowout. Some people still are not sure what it does, who should get it, if its safe or if its worth the money.
     What it does:
A Brazilian Blowout is a smoothing treatment, NOT a straightening  treatment. This means you will still be able to wear your natural curl and/or add iron curls that will hold in your hair and have it stay frizz free. It also cuts down drying time and if you choose a sleeker flat iron look, it will not frizz out with humidity. If you are someone who gets color and or highlights, you would get them done first, then receive the treatment on the same day. Another advantage that makes this brand stand out from the rest, is that there is NO downtime, meaning you can workout, shower or swim right after the treatment without altering the results. There are two options to choose from. 
Brazilian Blowout Original Solution- contains a small safe amount of formaldehyde. This solution is best for extremely coarse or curly hair. (Not available at my salon)
Brazilian Blowout Zero Plus Solution- This is the only solution I provide at my salon. This is best for wavy or fine hair. It contains NO formaldehyde and the frizz results are still the same as the original solution. It just does not relax the curls as much.
Since there is no harsh chemical reconstruction to the hair in either of the solutions (such as a Japanese straightener), it lasts for up to 15 weeks. 
  Who should get it:
 Honestly, anyone can receive a Brazilian Blowout. It is recommended for people with either, super curly frizzy unmanageable hair, super thick unmanageable hair and people with extremely damaged over processed hair. The reason it is so flexible is because it actually conditions the hair from the inside out. It is also great for people who love to flat iron their hair pin straight. When the 15 weeks is up, you are still left with healthier hair then before you received the treatment.
  Is it safe:
Yes. Both solutions are 100% safe. Formaldehyde is found in lots of things we use everyday such as toothpaste, apples and nature! Its the quantity that is important. With all the controversy, it has been reformulated and works better than ever!
  Is it worth the money:
That's a matter of opinion. The price tag can range from $350-$800, my salon starts lower than most at $300. I truly believe in the quality of this product, if someone is struggling everyday to blowout their hair, just to have it a frizzy mess when you step out the door, then yes. If your hair is curly or severely damaged and is always frizzy, unless u glob bottles of gel in your hair, again yes. Now if you are someone who lets your hair air dry and it looks like you flat ironed your hair when it finally does dry, then no. My salon offers free Brazilian Blowout consultations to make sure you are a perfect candidate for the process.

Ps. It is very crucial that you use a shampoo, conditioner and after care products that are safe for the treatment. If you don't, it will strip the treatment out of your hair and you can just watch hundreds of dollars swirl down your drain. My salon only guarantees the treatment with a purchase of a Shampoo and Conditioner before you leave the salon.
