Are you dreaming of a perfect Brazilian straightening treatment, but you don't want to spend a fortune at the hair salon?
It is possible to achieve a homemade Brazilian straightening treatment, but how do you go about it?
Brazilian straightening is a hair straightening technique that can leave hair soft and shiny for several months, but it can be expensive and requires the use of chemicals.
In this article, we offer you a natural alternative to achieve a homemade Brazilian straightening treatment.
According to a 2020 study, Brazilian straightening is the second most popular straightening technique in the world, with more than 10 million people using it each year.
Brazilian blowouts can be expensive, especially if done in a salon. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, the price can range from $100 to $300, or even more.
Doing your Brazilian straightening at home is an economical solution to obtain quality results without the hassle of going to the hairdresser.
To make a homemade Brazilian straightening, you will need a few natural ingredients:
- coconut oil: it nourishes and repairs hair deeply, and helps smooth hair scales for a shiny and silky effect.
- vegetable keratin: it reconstitutes the hair fiber and gives volume to the hair. It can be found in powder or spray form.
- water: it dilutes the ingredients and allows the mixture to be distributed throughout the hair.
Here are the steps to follow to prepare and apply the mixture:
- Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave until liquid.
- In a bowl, mix the melted coconut oil with vegetable keratin (follow the manufacturer's instructions for the quantity to use). Add water little by little until you get a homogeneous texture.
- Separate your hair into several sections and apply the mixture to each strand, making sure to cover the entire length of the hair.
- Leave the mixture on for 30 to 60 minutes, wrapping your hair in a warm towel or shower cap to help the ingredients absorb.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then wash your hair with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Apply a sulfate-free treatment cream to nourish and protect your hair.
To maintain the results of your homemade Brazilian straightening, here are some tips to follow:
- Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo to avoid damaging your hair and maintain its softness and shine.
- Apply a sulfate-free care cream to nourish and protect your hair from external aggressions (sun, pollution, etc.).
- Avoid styling your hair with heat (straighteners, hair dryers) and instead use heat protection products to limit damage.
- Make nourishing masks once a week to maintain the quality of your hair. You can use homemade masks with natural ingredients like coconut oil, avocado or honey.
