Brazilian Blowout Question :)

I love getting positive emails from people, it makes my day! I decided to do an “Advice Column” where I randomly pick my favorite emails and respond to them. Here’s one that I decided to post:

Email from Ronnie:
hey hunni! love your blog. I’ve been trying to get opinions from asian girls who’ve done the brazilian blowout thing. Wanted to see if you thought it was worth the money? I understand why curly hair girls would get it but i odn’t want to waste money since my hair is already straight (just flat… ugh.)

thanks.

My Answer:
Hi Ronnie!  Yeah I’ve gotten it done twice. The first time I did it, it was beautiful and was really worth the money. It made my hair soft, shiny, and smooth and cut the blow-drying time in half! BUT, I didn’t use the recommended products and even though I used sulfate-free shampoo, it still stripped the Brazilian out.

Then I re-did my Brazilian. The second time I did the Brazilian, it wasn’t as healthy looking but it was still frizz-free. (Probably because I did it only 3 weeks after the first Brazilian.) I used the Brazilian products and it definitely helped prolong the Brazilian treatment.

Overall, I would recommend getting the Brazilian Blowout ONLY if you have problems with frizzy hair that takes a while to blow dry. If your hair is already relaxed and shiny, I don’t really think you would need it. It’s a very mild treatment that is most effective when the frizz/damage in your hair is obvious and visible. If you have healthy hair already, nah don’t bother with it. But the products are amazing! Especially the Brazilian masque. I don’t have the Brazilian in my hair anymore and I still use the masque twice a week! Leave it in your hair for 20 minutes and your hair will be SOOO silky! I think you should just start off with the products and see how you like it.

Hope this helped! P.S. Here is a picture of my hair after doing the Brazilian. (My hair is usually pretty wavy, frizzy, dry and VERY damaged from color) The Brazilian did make my hair a lot healthier, I admit.

I agree Hunni.
Many Asian girls only need to use keratin based shampoos, conditioners and masks rather than full blown Brazilian Blowout treatments, to keep their hair looking sleek and shiny.
If you’re not looking to straighten your hair it’s just the ‘hydrating’ benefits you need, which you can find in many products which cost much less than a full blown Brazilian Blowout.

I have a blog about hair products from a Brazilian angle – brazilfabulous.com
What say we swap links?
