Brazilian straightening is a popular hair straightening technique for achieving smooth, silky and shiny hair. Unlike Japanese straightening which permanently modifies the structure of the hair, Brazilian straightening is a keratin treatment that nourishes and smoothes the hair fiber without damaging it.
What is Brazilian Smoothing?
Brazilian straightening is a hair treatment that uses keratin to smooth and nourish the hair. It fills in the scales and strengthens the hair fiber, resulting in smooth, shiny and easy-to-style hair.
The Benefits of Brazilian Straightening
1. Smooth and Silky Hair
Brazilian straightening allows you to obtain smooth and silky hair by filling the hair scales with keratin.
2. Shine and Softness
Keratin strengthens the hair fiber, making hair shinier and softer to the touch.
3. Reduced Frizz
The treatment eliminates frizz and makes hair more manageable.
How to do a Brazilian Straightening?
To achieve a Brazilian straightening treatment, it is recommended to use a formaldehyde-free straightening kit containing keratin such as the NB1 Lissant Ultime Brazilian straightening treatment. Formaldehyde is a powerful straightening agent but contains harsh chemicals that can damage hair if used incorrectly. It is therefore important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and do a sensitivity test beforehand. Brazilian keratin straightening is a gentler and more natural alternative. It straightens hair by filling in the scales and strengthening the hair fiber. Keratin is a protein naturally present in hair that makes it supple and resistant. Thus, keratin straightening allows you to obtain smooth, shiny and easy-to-style hair without damaging it.
The Steps of Brazilian Straightening
1. Hair Preparation
Before getting a Brazilian blowout, it is recommended to wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any hair product residue.
2. Application of the Product
Then, the hairdresser applies the smoothing product strand by strand, making sure to distribute the product well throughout the hair.
3. Exposure Time
After a setting time, the hair is rinsed then dried with a hair dryer and straightened with a hair straightener to seal the straightening.
Brazilian Smoothing Maintenance
To maintain a Brazilian straightening treatment, it is recommended to use suitable hair products such as shampoos and conditioners without sulfates or sodium which risk disgorging the keratin. It is also advisable to use hydrating keratin masks to keep the hair nourished and silky.
Conclusion
In conclusion, for a successful Brazilian straightening, it is important to choose a straightening product adapted to your hair type, to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and to regularly maintain your hair with specific hair care products.
