One of the biggest beauty issues my readers tell me they face during the summer is frizzy hair. I’ve tried to tackle this concern in many posts with a variety of products and techniques such as hair oil, mousse, how-to’s and even offered giveaways for a flat iron and a complete hair care regimen.
However, if you’re fed up with poof and want to eliminate it for good, another option is to trade in the D.I.Y. options for pro hair treatments like the Brazilian Blowout. This is the newest frizz-eliminating service on salon menus and it’s gaining a lot of celebrity attention. Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Richie, Halle Berry and Lindsay Lohan are just some of the stars doing it.
You may have heard of Japanese straightening, a chemical-based treatment that was all the rage years ago. Unlike Japanese straightening, which offers results that last up to six months but can damage hair or flatten it if in the wrong hands, the Brazilian Blowout uses proteins that smooth and protect each strand. Think of it as a condom for your hair. Whether that image grosses you out or not, you’ll be happy to know the formaldehyde-free process is totally healthy for your mane, protects locks from hot tools and there’s no downtime. The fact that you can jump in the pool immediately after the treatment is the main advantage to choosing the Brazilian Blowout over other popular protein-based hair treatments like a Keratin treatment, which prevents you from showering or using hair elastics for three days post service. I have to say, the Brazilian Blowout sounds a lot less intimidating than other Brazilian named beauty services I’ve tried, and all it takes is 90 minutes of your time to get shiny, frizz-free hair for up to three months.

Did you know that there are even DIY Brazilian Blowout treatments out there?
Many of the latest products are very simple to use, pretty much the same as applying a deep conditioner or mask.
In these recession strapped times the idea of giving yourself a fabulous red carpet style for a fraction the cost of visiting the salon is increasingly popular.
I can personally vouch for the site above, but there are many more to choose from. Just Google names like Escova Progress, Brazilian Blow-Out or Brazilian Straightening. You should find plenty of choice….
Keep up the great work.

I loved it!!!! Carolann Joy Salon in Redmond Washington did a Brazilian Blowout on me 2 weeks ago. It used to take me an hour to an hour and a half to just do my hair… I timed it this morning and it took me 12 minutes to do my hair!!! I used to HAVE to blowdry my hair now I don’t even have to do that I can actually let it airdry and it looks good instead of some crazy mop!!
The Brazilian Blowout is a wonderful service! Yes it is kind of pricey but the value is absolutely there. it has been so easy for me to dry my hair. What I could normally before only get with a flat iron I can now get by just letting my hair air dry! Love!
This is seriously the best thing I have ever had done to my hair. I did a blog post about it after my experience a couple of weeks ago: http://www.dallas-mommy-blogger.com/2010/06/brazilian-blowout-bliss.html Daniel Lewis at Green Peridot is amazing, but wherever you live – find a salon and get a Brazilian Blowout!!
Finally! This could be just what I need to get through summer.
