No smoothing treatment suits every head, and whether a Brazilian Blowout is right for you depends on your hair, your scalp and the product used. At kruLA a specialist looks at your hair and scalp before the treatment, and the session is 2 h 30 min to 3 h 30 min.
kruLA does Brazilian blowout in Century City for $200 to $450, by hair length: call (949) 883-8301.
Is a Brazilian Blowout safe?
Safety depends on the match between the treatment and your hair and scalp, on the product used and on a trained specialist applying it.
Ask for the product name and its safety data sheet, and tell the specialist about scalp sensitivity, allergies and what has been done to your hair. The manufacturer's information is on Brazilian Blowout's own site.
Does a Brazilian Blowout damage hair?
Heat and chemical products can damage hair that is already fragile, which is why the hair is assessed first.
A Brazilian Blowout smooths hair and makes it feel softer, but it is not a repair treatment. If your hair is brittle, over-lightened or breaking, a repair step such as cold hair recovery or hair reconstruction can come first.
What are the downsides of a Brazilian Blowout?
The downsides are that it changes the texture of the treated length for a stretch, it needs aftercare, and the visit is a long one.
- The roots grow in with your natural texture, so regrowth shows against the treated length.
- A wait before the first wash and care with ties and products afterwards.
- A product smell during the visit and for a short time after.
- A session of 2 h 30 min to 3 h 30 min at kruLA, longer for long or thick hair.
- It smooths; it does not repair damaged hair.
What side effects do people report?
People report irritation of the scalp, skin or eyes, a headache or an unpleasant smell during the visit, and dry or stiff-feeling hair.
If you notice a reaction, tell the studio at (949) 883-8301, and see a doctor if it is severe. The troubleshooting guide lists what to do about symptoms.
Will a Brazilian Blowout make my hair fall out?
Shedding and breakage are different problems: shedding is a hair that comes out at the root, and everyone sheds daily, while breakage is hair snapping along the length.
Combing freshly smoothed hair can make normal shedding easier to see. If either one worries you, tell the specialist; ongoing hair loss is a medical question, and the American Academy of Dermatology explains the common causes and when to see a dermatologist: AAD: hair loss.
Does hair grow faster after a Brazilian Blowout?
No: the treatment works on hair that has already grown and does not change how fast it grows.
Smoother hair can break less and tangle less, so the length you have can look better kept. Hair growth is a question for a dermatologist.
What should I ask before booking a Brazilian Blowout?
Ask what product is used, what is in it, how the hair will be prepared and what aftercare to follow.
- The product name and its ingredient list.
- Whether your hair history changes the treatment.
- How thickness changes the price and the session length.
- The wash wait, and what to buy afterwards.
