So, a few weeks ago, I posed a question about the effects of a brazilian blowout on pink hair in another community and... I got mine on Saturday, and, well folks.. Im in loooooooove.. On with the pics of the process, comments, and TONS MORE PICS.., image and text heavy, yall.
I got up early for an 830 appt with my stylist.. and arrived to no power due to the freeze we had in Houston the night before... sigh.. Here is me, driving down the road, with flat ironed and styled to heck pink hair... Keep in mind that there are a few Brazilian Keratin treatments out there, I am using the Brazilian Blowout brand {BB from now on}(www.brazilianblowout.com) . This treatment allows for shampooing right away, and does not reccommend against any pony tail holder, pins or clips like some others. It can not be used on pregnant or nursing women.
So, once the power is back on, (yay!) and a question and answer about my hair, how I style, what I do, and the color I use (wella frosty ash for blonde, med brown for dark and SFZ atomic pink with conditioner), we begin. You start with a clarifying shampoo, with the BB brand of Shampoo- twice. Since I knew this was the process, a week before my color, I applied fresh blonde toner, and pink but I did do the pink a bit darker than I normally would, because some would come out with the clarifying shampoo. And it did, but not much. This process creates a layer of keratin around your entire hair shaft, so whatever color process you do- is gonna get sealed in and have a much better shelf life.
a pic, to start.
She applied the BBproduct to my entire head with a tinting brush, in very small sections, coating from root to tip.
Applying
then once it is all applied, she combs it thru, and then blowdries the whole thing with a paddle brush.
Combing Thru
blowdried
Then she takes very small sections, like highlighting size, and a very hot (450 degree for not very damaged hair, 410 for damaged like mine) flat iron and Irons the whole thing. I was so amazed, I didnt take very many pics here. I will say that the scent, when she had my hair clipped up to iron, was a little strong, but very easy to deal with. Stung my eyes a bit- but I have contacts, and the toner does that too.
Once its flat ironed, it is then washed again, with the BB regular Sulfate free Shampoo, and then you get a 3 min masque on, and rinsed. Then the final blowdry. Folks, it took less than 15 mins to dry, and dried JUST LIKE THIS, only usng her fingers. Its flat, shiney, and SOOOO SOFT. There is ZERO styling product in, no shine gloss, nothng.
All of this was Saturday, and I cant keep my hands out of my hair. Princess, aka my husband, was not convinced that I could get it to do what it should. Im happy to report that I washed my hair today, using the BB shampoo only, no conditioner, and no product, and it dried in less than 15 mins!!!! This cuts down on drying, and I have ZERO frizz. Flat Hair that can be curled. Its supposed to air dry like this also. They report that this can be done to extreme curlies, and it will loosen up the curl, with zero frizz and all the joy of being a curly! I did mine with a large barrel curling iron when it was dry, and these are all my results.
wet, out of the shower
blow dried with a paddle brush
then hit with the curling iron.
scuse the no makeup, Im fresh out of the shower, lol
I just have to tell yall.. I am sooo in love with this. Its supposed to last 12 weeks, and with damaged hair, it lasts the longest. It feels so good, and Im even going to get a nifty new hair cut next week, because I havent gone out of my comfort zone with my ahir before. Im a BB for Lifer.
love love love.
