Brazilian Blowout FAQ

Brazilian Blowout is a professional smoothing treatment that seals an amino acid based formula to your hair using heat. It doesn't permanently alter your hair's structure. It smooths and seals the cuticle, reducing frizz, cutting dry time, and making hair more manageable. Results last 10-12 weeks and gradually fade with each wash. Read our full guide.
