Brazilian Blowout Aftercare: 10 Tips to Make Your Treatment Last

You just walked out of the salon with silky, smooth, frizz-free hair after your Brazilian Blowout treatment. Now what? As a Brazilian Blowout certified salon in Cypress, CA, we want to make sure your results last as long as possible.

With proper aftercare, your Brazilian Blowout can last 10-12 weeks. Here are our top 10 tips for maintaining your gorgeous, manageable hair at home.

1. Wait Before Washing

The most important rule: wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair after your treatment. This allows the smoothing solution to fully bond with your hair cuticles. Some newer formulas allow same-day washing, so ask your stylist about your specific treatment.

2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Sulfates are harsh detergents that strip away the protective coating from your Brazilian Blowout. Switch to a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to extend your results. We recommend the Brazilian Blowout Acai Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner for best results.

3. Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water

Planning a beach vacation or pool day? Be aware that chlorine and salt water can shorten the life of your treatment. If you do swim, wet your hair with fresh water first and apply a leave-in conditioner to create a protective barrier.

4. Limit Heat Styling

One of the best things about a Brazilian Blowout is that you'll need less heat styling. Your hair will air-dry smoother and straighter naturally. When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first.

5. Sleep on Silk

Cotton pillowcases can create friction that leads to frizz. Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase to keep your hair smooth while you sleep. Bonus: it's great for your skin too!

6. Avoid Tight Hairstyles

For the first few days after your treatment, avoid putting your hair up in tight ponytails, clips, or headbands. These can create dents or kinks in your newly smoothed hair.

7. Deep Condition Weekly

Keep your hair hydrated with a weekly deep conditioning mask. This helps maintain the health and shine that makes your Brazilian Blowout look so good. Look for masks with keratin or argan oil.

8. Protect from Humidity

Living in Orange County means dealing with coastal humidity. Use an anti-humidity serum or spray before going outside to maintain your smooth results throughout the day.

9. Get Regular Trims

Even with the best care, split ends can make your hair look frizzy. Schedule regular trims every 8-10 weeks to keep your ends healthy and your Brazilian Blowout looking fresh.

10. Schedule Your Next Appointment

The best way to maintain smooth, manageable hair is to schedule your next Brazilian Blowout before your current treatment wears off completely. Most clients come in every 10-12 weeks for touch-ups.
