The Brazilian Blowdry

The Brazilian Blowdry

The Original 12 Week Blowdry is a product and application that is unlike any other chemical relaxer or straightening treatment currently on the market. This product does not daage your hair, in fact it does the complete opposite!
The product contains a mild chemical solution enriched with Keratin. Once applied the chemical sits on the cuticle not penetrating into the cortex which allows the Keratin to work at its best. The treatment then begins to condition, moisturise and reconstruct your hair, leaving you with shiny, soft and more manageable hair.
 
The application takes approximately one to two hours depending on hair type and can last up to three months. Each additional time you have the treatemnt it will last longer, another great point is that there os no re-growth to deal with as it gently washes out over time.
 
This system is designed to eliminate frizz, tame unruly curls and smooth out the waves without making it too flat unlike other straightening treatments. Although the application is similar to the other straightening services where they use the straightening irons to seal the product into the hair cuticle, this solutions is not as strong and is designed to condition the root to tip. What sets this system apart from therest is that this product has been designed for coloured or processed hair including bleached hair! In fact the worse the condition, the better the result.
