Keratin on Black Hair

Using the Brazilian Blowout for Black Hair, makes a less damaging alternative to traditional relaxing products, and the effect of Keratin on black hair is nowhere near as harsh.

Which is probably why so many black women are turning their backs on old-fashioned hair straightening methods, in favour of something a little more gentle.

Applying the Brazilian Blowout to black hair also leaves a more natural finish, because it contains none of the harmful chemicals associated with traditional relaxers and perms.The result is amazing.

And while using Keratin on black hair – as an alternative to relaxing – may take more than one application for a truly straight finish, the final result of the Brazilian Blowout on Black Hair is a lot kinder all round, gradually restoring strength and vitality. Which makes it perfect if you’re trying to grow your hair out and you’ve been suffering from hair that literally snaps off when it grows a few inches long.

Keratin on Black Hair – Getting it Right

The Keratin smoothing system began life in Brazil, a country containing every possible ethnic blend, and genuine Brazilian Keratin treatments, like Zene Progress, work equally well on Afro or Caucasian hair and everything in between.

Zene Progress has become a firm favourite of Black women, because it’s a much kinder option.

The Brazilian Blowout on Black Hair

Creating a truly straight finish with the Brazilian Blowout on Black hair may take two applications, (usually applied around 10 days apart). A first treatment will have a dramatic effect on frizz and strengthen your hair, but for a genuinely relaxed effect a second application may be needed.

Once you’ve achieved the straight finish you’re looking for, continue using Keratin straightening products to maintain results and improve the condition of your hair.

Keratin products work gradually on all hair types and that includes the Brazilian Blowout on black hair. Zene Progress produces fabulous effects. In Brazil it’s known as Escova Progressiva, because the results improve and last longer with continued use. Hence the word Progressiva in the name.

Brazilian Blowout on Black Hair that’s been Relaxed

Using Keratin on black hair that’s been relaxed previously will help restore your hair’s natural shine and strength, as well as prolonging the results of a relaxer.

In Brazil it’s popular for women to use relaxers once then continue with Keratin smoothing treatments indefinitely afterwards. As well as keeping a straight finish it’s great for conditioning. Your hair quickly regains natural shine and new growth remains straight without the familiar dullness of traditionally relaxed hair.

If you relax your hair, you probably know how harsh the results of colouring can look after treatment. And that re-applying a relaxer over previously relaxed hair has its own problems, which could lead to breakage.

*Keratin Relaxers

Keratin Relaxers are a very new development, and come somewhere between traditional relaxers and a Keratin straighetning treatment. Far kinder than normal ‘black hair’ straighteners, the added advantage of bathing your hair in Keratin during the relaxing process makes the final result less prone to breakage, with a softer more natural shine.

Keratin on Black Hair is very different

Using Zene Progress will do just the opposite, creating a naturally straight finish, enhancing shine and adding strength.

How long does a Keratin Brazilian Blowout on Black Hair last?

Expect the Brazilian Blowout to gradually fade on all hair types, and using a Keratin treatment on black hair is just the same. A first treatment of typically lasts between 6 weeks and 2 months.

Because its a progressive process, subsequent Keratin smoothing treatments will last longer, and to improve the results we suggest using Keratin shampoos and conditioners between applications.
