Brazilian Blow-Dry/Straightening: Reviews

'I would definitely recommend this treatment, to anyone who longs for shiny, straight well-conditioned hair. I can style mine with lots of bounce for 'party' nights, but can also achieve that straight sleek look - whichever the mood takes me.
The Brazilian blow dry treatment is like a valium for hair - and guess what I'm truly addicted!
Thanks to Brad and everyone at the ColourNation Salon for making us feel so welcome and for giving Vikki the star treatment.'

- Vikki from Independent Review website UKhairdressers . com who reviewed ColourNation (photos of the process and results)

"Last night I got another Brazilian blow dry (Brazilian straightening). It has saved me so much time and ultimately has made my hair grow since I’m not putting direct heat on it every day. I even got my mom to get one last night and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since. I cannot recommend this treatment enough, it’s the best thing I’ve done in a while!" - American Actress, Nicole Richie.

The Best Brazilian Blowdry/Straightening: the latest celebrity secret in hair care.

A The Best Brazilian Blowdry will eliminate frizz, strengthen and add shine to your hair while also allowing you to style with curls or gentle waves.

The Brazilian Blowdry Treatment softens, smoothes and conditions to give you amazing frizz-free hair. The treatment will washout slowly over 3-4 months* and doesn't guarantee poker straight hair* (*unlike an IHR/Bio-Ionic Permanent Straightening) but it will dramatically improve the manageability of your hair. ColourNation was one of the first Salons in London to offer this breakthrough treatment and we're proud to claim that we perform more Brazilian Blowdry than any other single salon in the UK (Oct 09). So it's fair to say we know a thing or two about Brazilian Blowdrys/ Straightenings.

This new Brazilian Hair Straightening System is a break-through process that transforms the hair in its entirety. Keratin is the primary protein of the skin, hair and nails. This natural substance gives hair the ability to return to its original healthy, shiny, smooth state. Results are visible immediately after treatment is completed, you'll be amazed to see the difference. Hair looks healthy and youthful, it resembles children's hair, soft, smooth and healthy.

This revolutionary process was developed in Brazil, and is now available in the US and other markets in North America, Latin America and Europe.

Brazilian Blow-dry vs the

IHR / Yuko Japanese Straightening Systems?

  • Brazilian Blow-dry is kinder on your hair - improving the condition by adding Keratin the natural protein of hair (a bit like Nanomax). This treatment restores hair resiliency: humidity, rain or sweat will no longer affect the hairstyle. No more frizzy hair!
  • Brazilian Blow-dry can be applied over other previous straightening systems.
  • Brazilian Blow-dry is a much quicker process to apply 1.5 - 3 hours depending on the length of hair and the thickness.
  • Brazilian Blow-dry is cheaper than a full Permanent Hair Straightening System - prices start at just £153. Althought it has to be done more frequently so over a year an IHR Straightening may be cheaper for many.
  • Brazilian Blow-dry can be use on all hair, including chemically treated hair (coloured, permed, relaxed, highlighted and bleached! Which means all clients can benefit no matter how damaged your hair.. the system will improve your hair's condition and strength. It can also be done on hair which is too short for a japanese permanent straightening.
  • Brazilian Blow-dry does NOT guarantee a straight result - some clients may still have a wave but hair is much more manageable after treatment and reduces the amount of time required to style hair dramatically.. in some cases to wash and go, others may require some blow drying and minimum styling time.
  • It's NOT Permanent: The result fades progressively with every wash. With other permanent systems the previously straightened hair does not need to be treated again, with this system the whole head has to be treated again. A specialist Keratine rich Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner is available which helps prolong and maintain the effect. Brazilian Straightening has to be done more frequently than an IHR Straightening to maintain the effect (3-4 monthly, as opposed to 8-12 months). With virgin (previously uncoloured or processed) hair the result may fade faster.

The Process

A consultation for this service is not essential (unlike other systems)... everyone can have it done. We welcome you to come for a free consultation with no obligation especially if you have questions but it is not essential before you book.

The application process takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair. After product is applied, it is sealed with a hot iron which traps moisture, hydrates the hair and creates a glossy finish. Results are visible immediately after treatment is completed, clients are amazed to say the least. Hair looks healthy and youthful, it resembles children's hair.

The results last 3-4 months, the treatment fades progressively as hair is washed - this fade is minimised by using the recommended Keratin aftercare products. As clients repeat the treatment every few months or so, you will be able to observe the improved quality of hair after the Keratin Treatment application.

The Prices

At ColourNation we are always trying to ensure that we deliver maximum value for our clients. For a limited period we are therefore offering our Brazilian Blowdry at prices starting at an amazing £125* (Conditions apply see below). This is a limited time offer and may be withdrawn at any time.

Deposit

This treatment takes two or more hours to complete so our stylists are booked out for a major amount of time just for you. It's therefore a big problem for us if occasionally a customer doesn't make their appointment. We therefore charge a deposit of £40 which is only refundable if you give us 48 working hours (two working days) notice that you will be unable to attend in which case we will cancel your appointment without question and refund your deposit in full.

To book your appointment call us today on 0845 88 88 333 (int +44 (0)207 836 8883.)

AKA: Brazilian Hair Straightening is also knows as the Brazilian Blowout, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, Brazilian Straightening System, Progressive Straightening and Escova Progressiva among others.

"I was VERY impressed by the new version of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment called The Best. I have very thick, curly mixed raced hair which is now much smoother and far easier to straighten. As this is the second time I have had the Brazilian Keratin Treatment treatment my curls seem to have actually loosened slightly, which is perfect as my hair now falls better over my shoulders. I would definitely recommend this treatment, if possible try and get hold of Grant or Sheila who are both curly hair geniuses!" - Melissa June 2012

 Best Consultation Ever
I had the best consultation ever today!

I am new to the UK, and the moisture (rain/humidity) has been my hair’s enemy since the day I arrived just over a month ago. I have researched the Brazilian Blow Dry online, and decided to have a consultation at ColourNation based on the online reviews.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful at every stage: booking my consultation, greeting me at the door, and discussing my frizz-free straightening options. But what made the consultation extraordinary was a client sharing her amazing experience with the Brazilian Blow Dry and showing me a picture on her mobile phone. While she was sharing how pleased she was, another client chimed in echoing how amazing it was and how well ColourNation had done her Brazilian Blow Dry. SOLD. Unsolicited endorsements from actual clients are the best ever. I booked an appointment for next week with Salma. I hope to be the next gushing client!

 Re: Brazilian Keratin Hair Straightening
Just wanted to give you some feedback on how I'm getting on 6 weeks after the Brazilian Straightening. My hair looks really fabulous (shiny) provided I blow dry it, which now takes 10mins as opposed to previously when it took half an hour plus ironing (45mins total). I was initially afraid to exercise as I didn't want the effects to fade quickly but in the last 4 weeks I've been running every other day and washing every other day and it's fine.

..

Please tell Brad he did a fantastic job! I'm recommending to all my frizzy haired friends.

Best

 Re: Thanks for transforming my hair and my life.
Hi Lea

Am considering the Brazilian Hair Straightener (can't have IHR as I have bleached hair) and I just wanted to know - is it any good? How curly / frizzy was your hair before and how is it now 6 weeks on? Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks.

Sharon

 Thanks for transforming my hair and my life.
Hi Grant

I promised I would let you know how I got on after my Brazilian Hair Straightener.

Well, all I can say is that it's brilliant. My hair has stayed smooth, silky and shiney and I've had so many complimentary comments. It's the best thing I've ever done to my hair and I love it! After I had it done, it poured with rain everyday and it was also windy, but my hair stayed frizz-free. Normally I would have had a nervous breakdown trying to cope with the frizz!

Not sure how long it will last, but I will definitely continue to have it done. I might need the fringe doing in between, but I will wait and see.

Hope these comments are helpful.

Thanks for transforming my hair and my life.

Regards.
