Brazilian Keratin
vs.
Brazilian Blowout:
What’s the Difference?
Welcome to Fernanda's Beauty Salon! If you’re considering a smoothing treatment to tame frizz and add shine, you’ve likely come across both Brazilian Keratin and Brazilian Blowout. While these treatments sound similar, they offer different results and benefits. Here’s what you need to know to choose the right one for your hair.
Brazilian Keratin Treatment
What It Is: Brazilian Keratin Treatment is a semi-permanent hair straightening process that infuses your hair with keratin, a protein naturally found in hair. This treatment is designed to smooth, strengthen, and deeply nourish your hair, offering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond just reducing frizz.
Key Benefits:
Safe and Effective: Contains a minimal amount of formaldehyde (0.02%) while still delivering powerful straightening effects.
Low Maintenance: Reduces your need for daily styling and cuts drying time in half, making your hair routine quicker and easier.
Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy smooth, shiny, and silky hair for up to 3 months.
Damage Repair: Seals split ends and prevents breakage, improving the overall health of your hair.
Who It’s For: Ideal for those with curly, frizzy, or unruly hair who want a more manageable, sleek, and shiny look. If you're seeking a treatment that not only enhances appearance but also contributes to hair health, Brazilian Keratin is the perfect choice.

Brazilian Blowout
What It Is: Brazilian Blowout is often marketed as a formaldehyde-free smoothing treatment. However, it actually contains high levels of formaldehyde derivatives, such as methylene glycol. which can be harsh on your hair and may not offer the same long-lasting benefits as Brazilian Keratin.
Key Drawbacks:
Stronger Chemicals: The higher concentration of formaldehyde derivatives can be harsher on your hair, potentially leading to dryness or damage over time.
Noticeable Regrowth Line: As the treatment wears off, the regrowth line can be more apparent, making it obvious where the treated hair ends and the new growth begins.
Less Natural Shine: Without the nourishing oils found in Brazilian Keratin, hair treated with a Brazilian Blowout may lack the natural, healthy shine you’re looking for.
Temporary Results: While it can smooth your hair, the effects of a Brazilian Blowout tend to be shorter-lived, requiring more frequent treatments to maintain the look.
Who It’s For: This treatment might suit those who prefer a quick fix for frizz but aren’t as concerned about long-term hair health or the natural look of their hair as it grows out. However, for those seeking lasting smoothness and shine, Brazilian Keratin is a more effective and gentle choice.
