What is a Brazilian Blowout?

A Brazilian blowout is a hair treatment that uses a liquid keratin formula to create a protective layer around each hair strand. This makes hair smooth and reduces frizz. In humid places like San Diego, this can be particularly beneficial for managing hair texture. Many San Diegans report lasting effects for up to 12 weeks. While it delivers sleek hair, some are concerned about the potential formaldehyde content; clients should research formulas used.
