Long, lush tresses are back with a vengeance
and hair is looking glossier and smoother than ever.
But don’t be fretting about hours spent with a flat iron
and buckets of goopy serum.
This time around its a sleek and sexy one step process,
courtesy of those wild and wonderful Brazilians.
Yep! Its the Brazilian Blowout.
And don’t be confused – this particular Brazilian
although it does indeed involve hair,
happens upstairs, not downstairs.
The Brazilian Blowout is a gorgeous long term treatment
that puts keratin into the hair shaft and seals it there,
defrizzing, smoothing and leaving you with silky, super shiny hair.
You can wear your hair straight, or you can have your curls smoother and more defined.

It also cuts down the time you spend styling your hair,
and the amount of product you have to use
in order to get controllable and luscious looking locks.
No wonder celebrities swear by it!
The Brazilian Blowout is ideal to help you through the summer months
when swimming and humidity can turn a hairdo into an unmanageable ball of frizz.
Whatever the climate you’re in, your hair will look sensational and be very easy to maintain
The treatment lasts approximately four months,
and it works wonders with color treated hair too.

I actually had mine done this summer
by celebrity hairstylist (Alyssa Milano, Girls Next Door)
Heather Strange, who is now
at Carolynes Salon in Scottsdale.

Heather uses a formaldehyde free formulation that contains collagen,
which adds elasticity back into the hair.
Frankly, I have no intention of ever going without it again.
Low maintenance, frizz free hair is a life changer!

I love your blog and all your tips and tricks. I was scrolling thru some of your past posts and didn't find an answer to help me, a straight haired gal, who doesn't need a Brazilian blowout, but needs help with a tad of the frizzies, my hair does get a bit frizzed in humidity. You've recommended dry shampoos to help with texture and body, but would dry shampoo be a good product for me to try, even after regular shampooing, to get a bit of de-frizzing and texturizing when I style my hair? Thanks for all your advice! It's very helpful!
Dry shampoos are great for adding texture, but I'm not so sure about frizziness.
My absolute favorite product for de-frizzing is Moroccan Oil, either in the original or the Glimmer spray. Its fabulous!
I'm glad you like the blog! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Ms Corinna!
I can back you up on the Moroccan Oil suggestion for straight, fine hair. I've needed that little 'extra' that Shorty craved and Moroccan Oil supplies it. Totally smooth! And the fragrance! When my daughter and I met for a chat and we hugged each other, I said "gosh you smell good!" and she said "You do too!" It turned out we both were using Moroccan Oil products! I love love their hairspray! Anyway, great advice Ms Corinna!
Nancy I just love the smell of it too!! I can't say enough good things about Moroccan Oil! xo
