A Brazilian blowout treatment is a specialized keratin hair smoothing service that leaves hair feeling silky, smooth, and straight. During your Brazilian blowout service, your stylist will apply a silicone-based serum to your hair and seal it with heat.

Brazilian blowouts can last up to three months if you stick to our tip-top maintenance tips. During your Brazilian blowout service at Studio W Salon in Castro Valley, we'll advise you on proper aftercare to ensure long-lasting results.

After your Brazilian blowout, it's advised that you don't wash your hair for three days. This gives the specialized formula adequate time to penetrate the hair and settle.

Yes. We suggest using sulfate and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain your Brazilian blowout and keep it looking smooth and silky for longer.

Avoid tying your hair up or wearing hairclips for at least three days after your Brazilian blowout treatment. Doing so will leave kinks and folds in your hair so it's important to keep the hair as straight as possible during this time.

These keratin-infused treatments target a range of hair concerns, improving unwanted frizz, kinks, coils, and even chemical damage.  Benefits include shinier, smoother hair, improved hair condition, and easier manageability.

Yes! Brazilian blowouts are completely safe for color-treated hair. In fact, these treatments seal the hair cuticle and can further enhance the colour. You can get your Brazilian blowout on the same day as a colour service or as a standalone service.

Unfortunately, chlorine and saltwater can reduce the lifespan of your Brazilian blowout. Avoid dunking your head under water when you're in the ocean or pool. If your hair does get wet, rinse it with sulfate-free hair products and a nourishing conditioner.
