sorry...so what is the difference between a brazilian blowout and a brazilian keratin treatment??
^yup, just got it done yesterday...my hair feels SURPRISINGLY super healthy. Can't wait to wash it though!
I've been lurking here for over TWO years and reading this thread since it was created.. Got my first blowout a year and a half ago and loved it. The salon I was going to stopped carrying it after all of the OSHA drama, so I switched between a few local ones for the past 3 blowouts. I finally found someone I will most likely continue going to from now on.
I noticed during my 2nd blowout that I would get a greasy spot in the back of my head near the crown, which I never had experienced before.. using the BB shampoo did NOT get rid of it, it would only go away with a sudsy shampoo. Someone recommended the AG line, which was fantastic for getting rid of grease, but also stripped my last blowout in half time-wise (lasted only 6 weeks instead of my normal 12).
I tried Unite Shampoo which is what my salon recommended, but it still left me greasy.. Last week I switched to Pureology (the pink bottle) and so far it seems to have kicked the grease to the curb. Does anyone have experience with Pureology and the blowout? I would hate for this to be a repeat of my AG experience and lose half the time of this blowout again.. but I NEED to be grease-free and this appears to be the only way.
Thanks!
PS - I am posting before/after pics below. Your before/after photos in this thread helped me out a ton when I was deciding whether to get the blowout done.. So I thought I should repay the favor to other folks!
BEFORE - Air Dried
AFTER - No flat iron, just a brush and hair dryer

^ We all have our reasons for doing the blowout but omg... your curls are just so so so cute!!!! I miss your curls!! But your hair does look gorgeous blown out!
I had my Brazilian blowout some months back and my hair is pretty much wavy/curly again... sigh. I had the zero done so mine was not that dramatic. I also experience a greasy spot on my hair so I'm going to go ahead and try Pureology if it works!

Thanks Brigette.
I did love my curls (when they cooperated!) but they typically looked awesome for the first few hours of the day.. and by night and the next day they looked a mess and wound up in a pony tail. In my line of work straight hair is more polished/professional looking, so I have been doing straight with curling iron curls for an easier style

Alright sooo question from me!!
I just purchased some BB products on ebay to do it myself at home (verified through feedback and such that I got legit products). I got the zero, but messaged the seller asking for the original.
Anyways though, my hair is very fine, is always coloured dark brown every 2 months or so, it is wavy and frizzy. Now the wavyness is only there when I air dry, but when I blowdry my hair even without a brush, my hair dries relatively straight, I just have a lot of flyaways and frizz and my ends flip out everywhere. Do you think this would be a good treatment for me? I mostly want it so that I can just blowdry and go, otherwise, I straighten my hair everyday and it gets annoying!

Pureology is sulfate free so it is ok. I alternate Pureology shampoo with Pravana shampoo (it has keratin in it). I get my BBs every 12 weeks and they last pretty much that long.
