No way you'll lose your curl. Mine isn't anywhere near as curly and mine was still very wavy after.
Do you highlight your hair?
If you have mostly virgin hair, you won't see much result aside from being frizz free.

no, i definitely don't highlight my hair, but only dye my roots every 2-3 weeks to cover the gray. my hair is dark though and for the most part, natural (except for the roots).

when you say virgin hair, what do you mean exactly? hair that's not damaged?

i definitely don't want to lose my curl, but i guess would want it to be more relaxed, like a wave, if that makes sense.

I just booked one for next week and for only $100 through a special Yelp promotion!! My hair is really curly and to my waist when wet. It is mostly virgin hair except for the highlights on the very ends that will probably be gone with my haircut next week. I mostly want to get rid of the frizz I get on the days I don't wash my hair. I also want to be able to wear it both straight and curly/wavy.

oh, you are so lucky. if i could get this deal with my salon for $100, i would jump at the chance to try it. i guess i'm just so reluctant to spend $300 if there's a possibility it will only last 3 weeks, but for $100, i'd definitely risk it.

Brazilian Blowout has formally initiated legal proceedings arising out of Oregon OSHA's inaccurate and unsupported conduct. Brazilian Blowout intends to seek an award of punitive damages to dissuade Oregon OSHA from acting so recklessly again in the future. It is our intent to distribute all awarded proceeds to the salons and stylists who have supported Brazilian Blowout in the face of this adversity.

exactly how do they intend to distrubute all "awarded proceeds" to the salons and stylists?

Ok.....so I had the opportunity to have this done for free but I had to be a hair model for a hair show and have 1/2 my hair done for the show and then get the other half done today. lol

So far this is the bomb! It took a lot of curl out of my hair which I love. My hair is shiny silky and soft. I could never get my hair this nice by just blowdrying/flat iron. I purchased the BB products. I'm a sucker. They are very $$$$$ :( I hope they prolong the life of the BB as promised.

Few pics....

Jem, what a huge change! I think you're going to LOVE the bb!

I had my last one in august and probably won't get it again until january. If I get another one too soon, it'll make my hair TOo straight! I like having some waves, so I'm going to start waiting longer between each treatment.

My BB never last more than 6-8 weeks either and I've used the BB products this past time.

How many times did you get it done?

I had 3 coppola BKTs and have had 3 brazilian blowouts, and I find that now the results last for sooo long!!!!

my last BB was in the middle of August and so it has been over 2 months and it's still going strong! It's definitely not as soft as right after, but my hair is nowhere close to what it used to be. I'll probably go another two months without getting it, so I will keep you guys updated!

For the ladies that say their BB doesn't last long and you are using BB shampoo, I have an interesting piece of information. I was at a beauty supply store looking at labels to try to figure out which one has the most kertatin in it to prolong the BB. I discovered that BB Acai has zero keratin listed in the ingredients. It looked like the Coppola had the most but I ended up going with Pravana since it was recommended by a friend and I have heard good things about it.

I'm getting it done next week. Do I have to go a few days without sweating/washing? I'm getting it done on Thursday and on Saturday and Sunday I usually do a really hard workout where I sweat a lot and have to wash my hair.

ZERO downtime - one of best perks of a true BB. I prefer the Coppola over the BB brand shampoo/cond. Good to know!

let's see . . . . I've had 2 BBs and one Global Keratin. I think. LOL!
The Global was no better IMO though I expected it to be.

Looks AMAZING! :yahoo:

Just remember that after YOU wash and style it it may not be as smooth. They always do a better job at this than us.

Got mine done today. I like it but it looks exactly like it does when I flatiron my hair. I am curious if she did it correctly. She washed my hair, applied the solution, blowdried it straight then flat ironed it. Was she supposed to wash the solution out? I guess I'll start reading this thread again to see if the answer is posted already.

I am so curious to see what happens after I wash it. She advised me not to wash it for 72 hours. It was the Brazilian Blowout not the Brazilian Keratin Treatment.

yes she is supposed to wash the solution out. and you can wash your hair immediately. she probably didn't want you to wash it on the opinion that it may last longer
