What is the difference between a Brazilian Blowout and a Keratin Treatment?

 A smoothing treatment can be a worthwhile investment for anyone that has frizz-prone hair. In fact, some of us are willing to pay however much for a service like this if it means getting smooth, glossy hair in return. But what is really the differrence between these two popular hair treatments? And which one should you get?

A brazilian blowout is a treatment that will turn frizzy, curly hair into more of a straighter texture. It will also allow for an easy blowout with less heat. A Brazilian blowout is a specific brand of keratin treatment. But while all Brazilian blowouts are keratin treatments, not all keratin treatments are Brazilian blowouts. 

Similar to a Brwazilian blowout, a keratin treatment aims to de-frizz hair and cut down on styling time. Whereas Brazilian blowouts will give your hair a straighter finish, keratin treatments will create more of a loose body wave. 

How do you choose which one is best for you? Brazilian blowouts and keratin treatments essentially both eliminate frizz and boosts shine. They are both safe for all hair types and can be done on color-treated hair

First you should consider the current state of hair and the desired hair texture. People with coarse hair are able to handle the Brazilian blowout treatment with minimal damage. People with finer hair sometimes can create more damage - keratin treatment would be a safer way of treating the hair.

Just keep in mind that while keratin treatments may be safer for finer texture, hair, they won’t give you the same results as a Brazilian blowout. The Brazilian blowout is meant more of a straightening system. The keratin treatment is meant more as a de-frizzing and smoothing treatment.
