Definitely the Brazilian Blowout! It is much pricier which is why I did not get it this past time , but your results also last much longer. The main thing that I like over the keratin is that your hair will still hold a curl if you use a curling iron on it.
Definitely works miracles on my hair in the summer! Skip to content. May 9, I can not praise this enough! Humidity does not effect your styling. Cuts down on styling time. Dries much faster. Cons of the Keratin Treatment: With the Keratin: Your hair will be straighter and not hold curl as well. I also think it made my hair a little flatter and look like it has less volume.
However, it is still not enough to deter me from having the treatment again because it is so much less expensive than the Brazilian Blowout. Waiting to shampoo, put your hair up, etc. Both use keratin, a natural protein found in your hair, to repair damage and smooth out each strand. And both save you a ton of time each morning without hassling with a flat iron.
One of the differences is the time it takes for the process. A full keratin treatment can take about two to four hours, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. A keratin express treatment takes about 1. The other difference is how long it lasts. How the treatments work is not through the use of keratin, though. To make hair straighter, a solution containing a formaldehyde derivative or the much safer glyoxylic acid is worked through the hair to break the bonds and reseal them in a straighter position.
The solution is then blow-dried and sealed with a flat iron, and the results can last anywhere from three to six months. He says the treatments work well on most hair types and recommends it for anyone who wants to cut out blow-drying or straightening their hair on a regular basis, reduce frizz, or boost shine. Taylor agrees with Fitzsimmons that keratin treatments work well on most hair types.
For curly hair in particular, it will completely smooth frizz and add more shine. Another added benefit is that it will keep freshly-colored hair vibrant. She recommends talking to your stylist and colorist about about getting your color refreshed right before your keratin treatment. The treatment seals in the color, making it last longer and appear brighter. While similar to other hair straightening treatments, keratin treatments are still distinctively different.
Taylor explains that keratin treatments are a less harsh option to other straightening treatments like relaxers. Your hair texture will eventually return to its natural state. With a relaxer, that is not the case at all. Relaxers break down the molecular bonds in hair, and permanently straightens it. The growing-out phase will also be more intense than with a keratin treatments, since there will be a line of demarkation when your natural texture grows back in. Part of the concern with keratin treatments revolve around one of the ingredients found in most traditional salon formulas: formaldehyde.
The Centers for Disease Control CDC defines it as a colorless, strong-smelling gas that is usually used to make building materials, household products like glue and fiberboard, and used as a preservative when dissolved in water.
In keratin treatments, it's responsible for locking the hair into that new straight and smooth position for months. But these treatments don't actually contain formaldehyde, because, well, it's a known carcinogen.
What they contain instead is ingredients like methylene glycol, formalin, methanal, and methanediol, that release the carcinogenic compound when mixed with water during the treatment.
