Those of us with a beautiful natural curl to our hair can be proud of our dramatic fulsome locks, but sometimes for lifestyle reasons or possibly because there is a cut that we just love – we want it straight or at least straighter. This usually means an ongoing date with a flat iron, which is, besides being time consuming, is much work and not the best daily practice for healthy hair. Well help is on the way. After many improvements in procedure and formulation over the last few years the Brazilian smoothing technique has finally hit the big stage in the form of the Brazilian Blowout (tm) branded smoothing procedure. Using a proprietary mix of amino acids, polymers, protective masks, and serums the Brazilian Blowout system can calm the wildest mane of curls and frizz into the softest, silkiest head of glossy straight healthy manageable hair you’ve ever imagined. The results are dramatic, and the volume of positive press the Brazilian Blowout treatment has received is testament to its effectiveness. With proper care the treatment will last for three months ultimately allowing the hair to return gracefully back to its naturally curly state. Hair that is coloured or treated can receive the process, and the condition of the hair actually improved. If your hair has a very strong natural curl some of that wave will be retained but any frizz will be gone, if you are concerned about loss of volume, proper application of the flat iron can help maintain volume. Visit the the before and after gallery to get a better idea of  the results  you can expect.

There is no replacement for actually witnessing the Brazilian Blowout transformation. As part of our certification process we had a bit of a Blowout party. We were lucky enough to have a friend of Exquisite Beauty, Hair and Spa, who not only is experienced in the spa business (and therefore a valuable critic) but also has a gorgeous full head of curly hair. So she became our canvas for the evening.
Here is Lucy prior to receiving the Brazilian Blowout treatment.

Essentially the process is as follows…
1) Deep cleanse with specially formulated anti-residue shampoo to remove any natural oils or hair products that could interfere with the bonding process – towel dry.
2) Section and carefully and thoroughly comb in the treatment – blow dry then flat iron.

3) Rinse and apply protective mask for 60 seconds – rinse and towel dry.
4) Apply serum to smooth and seal hair and finally blow dry.

Total treatment time for Lucy was slightly over 90 minutes.

Here is Lucy after receiving the Brazilian Blowout treatment.

Overall the process went very smoothly, in the hands of an experienced Brazilian Blowout certified stylist you can expect great results. We were very interested to see if there was any odour, burning of the eyes, or itching of the skin experienced by either  Lucy or Mina (who performed the treatment,) since this has been an issue with other treatment systems. Lucy as our client reported that she experienced none of these issues. Mina reported that she experienced some fumes at one point as she worked close to the flat iron, but that there was no irritation. By the end of the treatment Lucy’s hair was very naturally silky, soft, and the only smell present was the light scent of the smoothing serum. It should be mentioned that there is a specific aftercare shampoo and conditioner for the treatment, and I would rate this as very important if you want to achieve lasting results – the last thing you want to do is strip the treatment from your hair with a shampoo designed for a different purpose. Overall I would give the Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment five stars out of five. A great new addition to the pallet of fun, fashionable things curly heads can do with their hair!

Almost all of us wish we had longer thicker eyelashes, and the incredible amount spent on mascara word wide proves that fact.  Eyelash extensions can give be a more attractive, lower maintenance alternative to give you thicker and longer lashes. Although extensions are growing in popularity, the process has been available in salons and spas since the early 2000’s. Not to be confused with false eyelashes or small sets, eyelash extensions must be applied by a professionally trained technician. Usually 30 to 80 lashes are applied to each eye and will remain in place up to three months, growing out with the natural replacement cycle of your own lashes. Besides giving your eyelashes a natural fullness even without makeup, a skillful technician can apply the lashes so naturally that no one would ever guess that they are not your own. 

Remix Group Shot

Released in the fall of 2008 we love the TIGI Remix collection. A  short cut that’s so much fun to play with, a beautiful long cut that almost takes us back to the 60’s, and look, curls working their way back into our consciousness.  Tattoo boy? … Well I guess he’s there to add a bit of attitude, I’m sure he has a respectable day job. Checkout the whole Remix Collection here, comments are welcome.
