My newest thing that I have decided I *can’t* live without is Brazilian Hair Straightening.
If you have curly hair (and dream of waking up with straight asian hair), then the Brazilian Hair Straightening is YOUR dream come true. I have fine hair, but it’s super curly and can be a real pain in the ass to deal with. If I touch it, it frizzes up, the wind blows, it frizzes up, if I think too much, it frizzes up. There was way too much frizz and not enough manageability. Thank God those clever Brazilians who brought us the solution for no-hair-down-there, has found the answer to making the hair-up-there look super gorgeous! Let it be known, signed-sealed-delivered that I love everything Brazilian. I mean, what’s not to love?
So what is the Brazilian Hair Straightening?
Approximately 90% of human hair is made up of a complex natural protein called keratin which is responsible for the hair’s strength, resistance to wear and tear, elasticity, flexibility and shine.
Hair keratin is damaged by straighteners, colors, perms, blow-drying, the sun, pollution, pool chemicals and even everyday brushing. This can make the hair feel coarse and look out of condition, dull and lifeless, as well as making it difficult to manage. Under an electron microscope this damage can be recognized in the form of cracks, splits and craters in the hair, as can be seen in this highly magnified hair strand.
The Brazilian Keratin promised to reverse all that damage, make your frizz-free, soft, incredibly shiny and guess what? It delivered! I walked in a skeptic and walked out a believer.
What you should know about the treatment
I threw away my flat irons. All 7 of them. When I left the salon, my hair was pin straight and flat, and no amount of humidity could make it frizz. I usually spend half-hour in the shower trying to detangle my hair but now I barely have a knot. If I use the hair-dryer, it takes 5 minutes for straight hair, not 30 minutes. Air drying my hair gives me a full-bodied “bend”, (think beach hair), with no frizz.
