1 Results of the Brazilian Blow-out

We have been getting a lot of questions about our new treatment called the Brazilian Blowout, so when a client came in I jumped at the opportunity to track the process and results of the treatment to show everyone just what kind of results you can achieve and if this treatment is right for you!

Step 1) Client gets their hair washed

Step 2) Clients' natural hair is blow dried with no styling

Step 3) Treatment solution is applied and is then blow dried and straighten into the hair (picture taken when half the clients hair was finished to show the contrast)
Clients' hair is completely straighten

Step 5) Clients hair is washed, and a mask and serum is applied.

Step 6) The final step client gets there hair blast dried with no styling

These are the results of the amazing new treatment to keep you hair shiny, frizz free and manageable.
