A Brazilian Blowout is used on many hair types, and what you tell the specialist about your hair history decides how it goes. This guide covers curly and thin hair, bleached and permed hair, relaxers, and how the hair color you already have fits in.
kruLA does Brazilian blowout in Century City for $200 to $450, by hair length: call (949) 883-8301.
Will a Brazilian Blowout straighten my curls?
It loosens and smooths curls and cuts frizz, but how straight the hair ends up depends on its texture.
For thick hair, afro curls and tight coils that you want straight, kruLA uses nanoplasty, the stronger straightening. To keep your curls and cut the frizz, ask about hair botox.
Does a Brazilian Blowout work on all hair types?
It is used across textures, and the result differs: straight and wavy hair gets smoother, curly hair gets looser and less frizzy, and very tight coils change the least.
The specialist tells you what to expect for your hair at the consultation.
Is a Brazilian Blowout OK for thin hair?
It can be, and the specialist checks the hair first; the thing to know is that fine hair can look flatter once the frizz is gone.
If you want to keep lift at the roots, ask about the keratin treatment, which is BIO keratin, described as keeping natural volume.
Can I get a Brazilian Blowout after bleaching my hair?
Sometimes, after the specialist has seen the hair: bleached hair is more fragile and takes product unevenly.
Tell the specialist how the hair was lightened and when. If it is dry or breaking, a repair step such as cold hair recovery can come first.
Can you get a Brazilian Blowout after coloring your hair?
Ask your specialist and your colorist before you book anything, because heat, chemicals and timing interact.
Brands typically give a waiting period around a smoothing treatment, and the timing depends on the product used.
Should I color my hair darker before a Brazilian Blowout?
Decide the order with your colorist and the specialist, not on your own: heat and smoothing products can shift the tone a little in some hair, most often in hair that has been lightened.
Tell the specialist about any past color work at the consultation.
Can a Brazilian Blowout go over relaxers or Japanese straightening?
Not as a rule: hair that has had a relaxer or Japanese straightening is chemically altered, and combining chemical services can damage it.
kruLA does not offer relaxers or Japanese straightening. The specialist has to see the hair first; the difference between the methods is in Japanese straightening vs keratin.
Can I get a Brazilian Blowout after a perm?
Tell the specialist about the perm before booking: permed hair is chemically altered and often fragile, so it is assessed first and the answer depends on its condition.
Bring the date of the perm and anything done to the hair since.
What drives the price of a Brazilian Blowout? Hair length and hair thickness set the price: at kruLA a Brazilian Blowout runs from $200 for shoulder length and shorter to $450 for butt length and longer, and thick hair adds $30 to $90.
Thickness is measured before the treatment, and the session takes 2 h 30 min to 3 h 30 min depending on length. Every length step is on the prices page, and the Brazilian blowout page has the booking button.
