Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: How long does a Brazilian Blowout last compared to keratin?
A: A Brazilian Blowout typically lasts 2-4 months, while keratin treatments last longer at 3-6 months. The exact duration depends on your hair type and how well you follow aftercare instructions (like using sulfate-free shampoos).
Q: Which treatment is better for thick, curly hair?
A: Brazilian Blowouts are generally better for curly hair as they tame frizz while maintaining your natural curl pattern. Keratin treatments provide smoother results but may relax curls more noticeably. At Vered Salon, we'll assess your hair to recommend the best option.
Q: Will these treatments damage my hair?
A: Not at all when done properly! Our Brazilian Blowouts and keratin treatments use nourishing formulas that actually improve hair health by sealing the cuticle. Many clients find their hair feels stronger and looks shinier after treatment.
Q: Can I color my hair before or after these treatments?
A: Yes! We recommend coloring your hair 1-2 weeks before your smoothing treatment for best results. If you need to color afterward, wait at least 2 weeks. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized plan for your hair goals.
Q: How much time should I set aside for my appointment?
A: Brazilian Blowouts take about 90 minutes, while keratin treatments require 2-2.5 hours depending on hair length and thickness. We'll give you an exact timeframe when you book.
Q: What's the biggest difference in results?
A: Brazilian Blowouts give you touchable, bouncy hair with reduced frizz, while keratin treatments provide sleeker, straighter results. Bring inspiration photos to your consultation so we can align on your desired look!
