What shampoo after Brazilian straightening?

Brazilian blowout is a popular hair treatment that aims to relax frizzy or curly hair, making it smoother, softer and shinier. However, to maintain these results over time, it is essential to choose the right shampoo after a Brazilian blowout.

Understanding Brazilian Straightening

Brazilian blowout is a hair treatment made with keratin, a protein naturally found in hair, skin, and nails. During this treatment, keratin is applied to the hair to fill in cracks and irregularities in the hair fiber. Then, a hair straightener is used to seal the keratin, creating smooth, shiny hair. This process helps eliminate frizz and give hair a healthier, silkier appearance.

However, the effect of Brazilian straightening is not permanent. Over time, the hair returns to its natural texture, especially if maintenance is not adequate. Choosing a good shampoo is therefore crucial to prolong the effects of the treatment and to avoid damaging your hair.

The importance of the right shampoo after a Brazilian straightening

Brazilian straightening relies mainly on keratin , a protein that smoothes the hair fiber. To protect and prolong the effects of this treatment, it is crucial to avoid certain ingredients such as sulfates, parabens, and sodium chlorinate, which can strip keratin from the hair.

The wrong shampoo can not only undo the effects of straightening, but also damage your hair. Here are some criteria to consider when choosing your post-straightening shampoo:

  • Sulfate-Free: Sulfates, foaming agents, are very harsh and can strip keratin, making hair dry and brittle.
  • Silicone-free: They prevent treatments from penetrating the fiber and nourishing the hair.
  • Sodium Chloride (Salt) Free: Salt, often found in regular shampoos, can break down keratin and make your hair frizzy again.
  • Enriched with keratin: A good shampoo after a Brazilian straightening should contain proteins to nourish and strengthen the hair.
  • No clarifying shampoo: Clarifying shampoos are designed to deep clean away hair product and pollution buildup, so they can break down keratin and make hair less smooth.

The best shampoos recommended after a Brazilian straightening

Choose sulfate-free shampoos made with natural ingredients to preserve Brazilian straightening.

1) Keratin shampoo

Keratin-enriched shampoos are specially designed to strengthen and protect treated hair . They repair damaged areas of the hair fiber while maintaining the effects of Brazilian straightening. This type of shampoo also helps to prolong the duration of softness and shine.

Complete routine for maintaining hair after Brazilian straightening

1) Use a hair mask once a week

Using a hair mask once a week after a Brazilian blowout helps keep hair hydrated, strong and healthy, while prolonging the effects of the treatment.

2) Protect hair from heat

When using heat appliances such as hair dryers or flat irons, apply a heat protectant spray or serum to prevent damage to the keratin in your hair.

3) Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and chlorinated water

UV rays and chlorine can weaken the keratin in your hair. Remember to protect your hair with a hat or UV protection spray when you are in the sun or at the pool.

4) Choose the right shampoo

To prolong the effects of a Brazilian straightening treatment and maintain healthy hair, it is essential to choose a sulfate-free, silicone-free shampoo made with ingredients of natural origin. Sulfates can damage and dry out hair, while silicones weigh down the hair fiber. An organic shampoo, enriched with ingredients such as aloe vera or argan oil, gently nourishes, preserves keratin, and guarantees natural hydration, while respecting the environment.

Directions for use

In addition to choosing the right shampoo, it is important to follow certain recommendations to maximize the effects of Brazilian straightening:

  • Space out washing : Washing your hair too often can speed up the breakdown of the treatment. Try to limit washing to two or three times a week to preserve the integrity of the keratin.
  • Use a leave-in conditioner : A leave-in conditioner can help detangle your hair and protect it from external aggressors. Be sure to choose a product that is compatible with straightened hair.
  • Avoid hot water : Hot water can dry out your hair and speed up the breakdown of keratin. Instead, opt for lukewarm or cool water when washing your hair.

Choosing the right shampoo after a Brazilian blowout is crucial to prolonging the life of the treatment and maintaining healthy hair. By avoiding sulfates, salt, and parabens, and opting for moisturizing and keratin-rich ingredients, you can preserve the softness and shine of your hair. With the right care, your Brazilian blowout will stay intact for longer, giving you smooth, shiny hair every day.

KIT LISSAGE BRÉSILIEN

J'ai 53 ans, je me demande pourquoi j'ai attendu autant de temps pour tester ce genre de technique. Je suis ravie du résultat, d'autant que je n'ai pas perdu totalement l'épaisseur de mes cheveux et qu'ils n'ont pas pris l'aspect "baguettes" que je redoutais.
Bon, moi c'était ma première fois, mais quand même, faire le traitement seule, je suis très sceptique... Je suis heureuse qu'un ami coiffeur ait proposé de m'aider. Je ne pense pas que j'aurais obtenu un tel résultat sans lui, et j'aurais peut-être même un peu paniqué sur le sujet de : "ne pas mettre de produit sur le cuir chevelu"....
