So just had a BrazilianKeratin Treatment or Brazilian Blowout at Salon Ziba in Manhattan.
Great process..here is the low down.
Patricia has been with the salon for over 5 years and does about 10 treatments a week, so I felt very comfortable.
First they washed my hair about 3 times to get it really clean and clear of any product.
Then they apply a clear thin plastic mask over my face to protect my eyes from the product.
The treatment is clear and gel like in texture and has really no smell. Patricia applied the product on in small little sections - a little goes a long way - directly onto my damp hair.
After the product is applied she then blow dried my hair with a round brush to get it smooth and dry for the next essential step...the flat iron.
Patricia then went in section by small section flat ironing my hair to seal in the treatment...this is the key. At this point you can touch it, and it is incredibly soft.
Finally after all of this detailed work she washed my hair with a special shampoo and condition which she recommended I buy and then applied a small amount of leave in product from the same company.
Once she finished washing and conditioning my hair she styled it the way I wanted...full, smooth large curls with side swept bangs...it looked great.
The treatment will run you approximately $350-$500 depending on how long your hair is and then the products are on top of that about $20 each.
Also, give your self about 3 hours from start to finish.
All in all it was a very positive experience and I would definitely recommend you visiting Patricia at Ziba if you would like to try this revolutionary treatment.
Pros: Experienced stylist and very patient
Cons: A good 3 hours needed to finish
