Smoothing
How do I make my Brazilian Blowout last?
The short answer
Wash with a sulfate-free shampoo, keep chlorine and salt water off your hair, and blow-dry with low heat. With the right care, results last up to 12 weeks.
The Brazilian Blowout works from the first wash, and the way you care for it decides whether it lasts six weeks or twelve.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfates strip the protective layer.
- Rinse with fresh water after the pool or the ocean, or wear a cap.
- Blow-dry with a round brush on medium heat when you want it extra sleek. Air drying is fine too.
- Book your next treatment when the frizz starts to come back, usually after 10 to 12 weeks.

What I recommend
Brazilian Blowout
Açaí Anti-Frizz Shampoo
Made to protect a Brazilian Blowout. Sulfate-free and gentle, so the smoothing lasts the full 12 weeks.
Kérastase
Résistance Ciment Thermique
A heat protectant that also repairs. Use it before every blow-dry if your hair is colored or fragile.
