Having been my most credited essay while I was at uni, I felt it would be worth while writing my first blog post around the same topic, my hair. Inheriting my father’s pitiful thin and curly hair gene this has solely been the biggest predicament of my life. No lie. Never been able to grow it longer than my shoulders, burnt it to death with ghd’s, ripped half of it out with racoon extensions and not to mention the amount of colour damage it has had over the years. It truly is in dire condition. So I thought, why not try the Brazlian Blowdry, I’ve tried everything else!
The process involves having your hair washed to open up your hair cuticles, then the keratin treatment is placed onto your hair and left to develop, the treatment is then blow-dried and sealed in with irons. I was alarmed by the amount of smoke coming off from the irons, but was assured it was not damaging my hair, I found this hard to believe.
When leaving the salon, my hair was impressively smooth and silky, although it was lacking volume and was a bit on the flat side. I now had to leave my hair for three days for the treatment to set in. No hair clips, no hair up, no dry shampoo...nothing. It was a struggle, but nevertheless I went back into the salon after the three days to get the treatment washed out.
Since having the treatment over four weeks ago now, I can tell you that yes my hair is much easier to maintain and I do not have an issue with frizz, but it has not improved the condition, just the texture. I was told that my curls would gradually come back, yet this has not been the case, I now have curly roots and very straight ends. Whereas others I have spoken to that have had the treatment still have very curly hair?! I think this treatment very much depends on the condition and texture of your own hair. This treatment is being recommended for everyone; although I feel only people with thick, frizzy, very rebellious hair would reap the real benefits of this treatment.
Depending on your hair length you can get this treatment from £150/£200, from any RUSH Salon. They also have a 20% introductory offer on at the moment too.
