What is a Brazilian Blowout?

The brazilian blowout has been around for some time now but it is just recently starting to get tons of notoriety. Some believe it is the best thing to come along since sliced bread, while other believe it to be dangerous and not all it is cracked up to be.

The brazilian blowout is a smoothing solution product that is suppose to take your curly, frizzy, and untamed hair to a smooth and silky state. The whole process is said to take only around 90 minutes when done by a professional.

You start the treatment by using the specially formulated Professional shampoo. This shampoo is used to get the hair to a squeaky clean state and prepare the hair for the best smoothing results.

After washing, your hair will be towel dried. Don't dry it completely; just enough that your hair is not dripping. You will then section your hair and apply the brazilian blowout solution from root to tips of your hair.

Now you will blow dry your hair and flat iron each section with a professional ceramic flat iron. The next step is to rinse your hair. You should not use any shampoo or products. Simply rinse your hair.

Towel dry once again and apply the Brazilian Blowout Masque. After sixty second you will rinse again. After you rinse, towel dry again and add the Brazilian Blowout Smoothing Serum to seal your cuticles.

You will then blow dry your hair once again and flat iron to obtain beautiful smooth and silky hair.That pretty much sums up what a brazilian blowout is.

Now that you know the process you should read more about the brazilian blowout formaldehyde concerns and some brazilian blowout dangers.

Some Brazilian Blowout dangers and concerns

The Brazilian Blowout hair treatment is the hottest smoothing treatment to come on the market since Japanese thermal hair straightening. It is suppose to be safe, but the brazilian blowout has been said to have some dangers. It has not been fully proven but some have reported:

• Hair thinning
• Hair Loss
• Brittle/Dry hair
• Formaldehyde dangers

Even though some have reported these concerns, others have said this is the best hair straightening treatment they have tried.

Also, with any type of treatment to your hair you should have a professional doing it. This could truly cut down on the dangers of hair thinning, hair loss, or brittle/drying hair. If you are unable to have a professional do your treatment you should really grasp the instructions and know what you are doing before you begin.

You should also take the correct after treatment care of your hair. There are specially formulated brazilian blowout shampoo and conditioner and other products that should be used in order to receive the best possible results for your hair.

The majority of reviews I have read on the Brazilian Blowout have been mostly positive despite what some are saying. Most are reporting soft, shiny, silky, sleek, manageable, frizz-free hair after treatment.

Brazilian Blowout Formaldehyde Controversy

The newest hair sensation, The Brazilian Blowout has recently come under heavy controversy. It is being said that the product contains formaldehyde.

You may be asking yourself just what is formaldehyde. It is a colorless gas that releases a pungent odor. High level are toxic and exposure to it is dangerous to your health. It is naturally in the environment but it is mostly small amounts.

Now, this totally contradicts what this straightening treatment claims to do for your hair. This product is suppose to be so much healthier for your hair than other smoothing treatments. But, it doesn't appear to be healthy for you or the stylist putting it in.

Even though this treatment is under heavy public scrutiny there are still people who claim no side effects from using this product. Hollywood stylist are even promoting their love for this product. And the product Brazilian Blowout has not been banned. There also has not been any controversy of hospitalization or deaths reported.

Also, the company has released a new version of the product called Brazilian Blowout Zero. It is a newly formulated solution with the plant-derive KeraSafe bonding system. It is stated to have 0% formaldehyde released during or after the treatment.

The new solution is said to seal essential amino acids into the hair. This will give you up to 12 week of smooth, shiny, radiant, frizz-free hair. You can also use the same brazilian blowout shampoo and conditioner with this new solution.

Now, it is up to you to try it or not. But, it you decide to give the Brazilian Blowout Solution I would recommend going with the Zero Solution.
