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 he 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.
