What to Expect from a Brazilian Blowout at Our Port Orange Salon

If you have ever spent time fighting frizz on a humid Florida morning, you already know why the Brazilian Blowout has become one of the most popular treatments we offer at Fleur de Lis Salon in Port Orange. For clients who want smoother, more manageable hair without going completely straight, this smoothing treatment is often a game-changer. Here is everything you need to know before booking yours.

What Is a Brazilian Blowout?

The Brazilian Blowout is a professional smoothing treatment that works by applying a liquid keratin formula to the hair, which is then sealed in with a flat iron. The treatment bonds a protective layer around each strand of hair, eliminating frizz, reducing curl and wave, and leaving hair significantly smoother and shinier.

Unlike a traditional chemical relaxer, the Brazilian Blowout does not permanently alter your hair's structure. The results gradually fade over time — typically lasting 10 to 12 weeks — which means your hair slowly returns to its natural texture rather than having a permanent line of demarcation as it grows.

Who Is It Best For?

The Brazilian Blowout works well on a wide range of hair types and textures. Our clients in Port Orange love it if they:

• Have naturally curly, wavy, or frizzy hair that takes a long time to style each morning
• Struggle with humidity causing frizz and puffiness throughout the day
• Want to reduce their daily blow-dry time significantly
• Are looking for more manageable hair without going completely straight
• Have color-treated hair that needs extra smoothness and shine

The treatment is safe for color-treated hair and can actually enhance the vibrancy and shine of your color at the same time.

What Happens During the Appointment

The process takes approximately two to three hours depending on your hair's length and thickness. Here is a general overview of what to expect:

Step 1: Clarifying shampoo. Your stylist will wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup and open the cuticle so the treatment can penetrate effectively.

Step 2: Application. The Brazilian Blowout solution is applied section by section through your hair. Your stylist works methodically to make sure every strand is coated evenly.

Step 3: Processing. The solution sits on your hair for a short period, allowing the keratin to begin working.

Step 4: Blow-dry and flat iron. Your hair is blow-dried and then flat-ironed at high heat, which activates and seals the formula into the hair shaft. This step is what locks in the smoothing effect.

Step 5: Finishing rinse. Your hair is rinsed and blown out one final time, revealing the smooth, shiny result.

You leave the salon with your hair already finished and looking beautiful — no waiting period before you can wash it or style it as you normally would.

How to Make Your Results Last

To get the most out of your Brazilian Blowout, we recommend:

• Using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfates break down the treatment faster than anything else. Switching your shampoo is the single best thing you can do to extend results.
• Washing your hair less frequently. The less you wash, the longer the treatment holds. Dry shampoo between washes is your friend.
• Avoiding heavily chlorinated water. If you swim regularly in a pool, rinse your hair immediately after and consider a swim cap for routine laps.

Most of our clients find they can go 10 to 12 weeks before their hair starts to return noticeably to its natural texture. Many choose to re-treat at that point — some do it every season, others time it strategically before vacations or events.

Is It Worth It?

For clients dealing with Florida's humidity, the answer is almost always yes. We hear again and again from clients how much time they save in the morning and how much more confident they feel about their hair on a daily basis. If you have been curious about the treatment, the best first step is to come in for a consultation so we can look at your hair and talk through whether it is the right fit.
