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!
