How to Do A Brazilian Blowout Tutorial

STEP 1: Shampoo the hair. We would recommend a moisturizing shampoo.

STEP 2: Add the Brazilian straighten solution

STEP 3: Sit under the drying for 15 minutes and blow-dry the solution in.

NOTE: this requires a lot of heat, which can be damaging to the hair; do not try this unless your hair is in good shape. Even that do not do it often as it will cause heat damage.

STEP 4: flat iron the hair.

STEP 5: rinse out the solution

STEP 6: deep condition

STEP 7: blow dry

STEP 8: flat iron

NOTE: when flat ironing the hair one pass should get the hair straight; two passes at the most anything more than that will cause heat damage overtime.
