As a result, the straightened hair might look unnatural and delicate. While what you wish for is shiny, natural-looking hair, the treatment might give you something different altogether.

Unlike in the Keratin treatment, items used in a Brazilian blowout are more natural and differ in their function. Keratin changes the texture of the hair to make it straight. Brazilian blowout removes frizz, thus adding more shine to the hair. It is, therefore, ideal for treating damage. Since the ingredients are milder, the effect on the hair is gentle, and it looks more natural.

Brazilian blowout uses a liquid keratin formula. When applied to your hair, it becomes a protective coating over your hair. It repairs broken bonds and covers the gaps present in your hair strands. This is how this treatment helps in removing frizz and split ends.
