Brazilian Blow Dry in Abingdon
Brazilian blow dries are the most well-known and recognisable treatment of their kind. Originating in Brazil, the Brazilian blow dry tames frizz and reduces volume while making the hair noticeably straighter and smoother.
Curly and frizzy hair tends to react to humidity, and the Brazilian blow dry essentially shields the hair against it — making it far more adaptable to environments that previously gave it trouble.
If you’re looking for a gentler option that embraces your natural curl or wave while also removing frizz, our pHrizzy-o-therapy treatment may be a better fit.
If you’re considering a treatment but aren’t sure whether a Brazilian blow dry is the right approach — or whether one of our gentler alternatives (pHrizzy-o-therapy or Smoothing Cream) would suit you better — we’re happy to help. We offer free, no-obligation in-salon consultations to talk through your options, answer your questions and check availability. To book one, call or WhatsApp us on 01235 534705.
What is a Brazilian blow dry?
A Brazilian blow dry is a hair treatment best known for leaving the hair poker straight, smoother and shinier. Clients book Brazilian blow dries for a sleeker, more manageable result.
Why is a Brazilian blow dry different to anything else?
If you want poker-straight hair, no other treatment offers quite the same result with the same efficiency at the price point. It’s specifically formulated to smooth the hair and reduce frizz without permanently altering it.
Why are Brazilian blow dries so popular?
Very simply, the results are impressive. They deliver frizz-free, straight hair for a reasonable cost, can be applied to almost any hair type, and significantly reduce styling time afterwards — a big plus for anyone short on it.
What is the downside to a Brazilian blow dry?
The Brazilian blow dry contains formaldehyde as part of its formula — prolonged exposure isn’t healthy, though it’s required to preserve the treatment’s effects. It isn’t the most gentle process for your hair, and it can give off an unpleasant smell, so it’s worth doing your research on the specific products used before going ahead.
