4 ways to make your Brazilian blow dry last longer

20 May 2018 by Beth Ryan

That good-hair-day feeling you get after a Brazilian blow dry is hard to beat (your hair also looks so sleek you could literally be the face of a shampoo ad) but thankfully it’s not hard to hold onto. Locking in the nourishing effects of the treatment is as simple as a little bit of aftercare.

  • 1 Stick to the rules

    We know, rules are boring. But read on, you get to skip the gym. The first two-three days after your blow dry are the most important. To keep the glossy look going for longer, avoid contact with water and give strenuous exercise a miss to minimise sweat. Try not to tie your hair up too, as that can cause kinks. We can live without spinning for a couple of days.

  • 2 Go sulfate free

    Here come the long technical words. After those all-important first days, you've got the all-clear to wash your hair. But before you start lathering up the shampoo, have a look at the label and check for sulfates. These can damage the keratin: sometimes it appears on labels as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate or ammonium lauryl sulfate. Also look out for SLS and ALS.

  • 3 Invest in a silk pillowcase

    It seems extravagant, we'll admit, but hear us out. In any case, no one has to twist our arm to get us to buy a silky smooth fabric to rest our heads on. Indulgent, maybe (but hey we deserve it) – excessive, definitely not. It can really help your hair stay smooth and sleek for longer by helping to reduce frizz-inducing friction.

  • 4 Give your hairdryer a rest

    Yep – step away from the straighteners, the curling tongs and the hairdryer. This treatment tends to last a bit longer if you keep it natural, so avoid heat and over-styling. Let your hair dry by itself – it'll thank you for it too.
