Think you are the only person whose stylist botched your cut? Think again. Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and others have their fair share of bad hair days.
One hair procedure that is guaranteed to please, though, is a hair blowout. It allows your hair to look voluminous and healthy, reducing hair damage. The question remains, though: how long does a blowout last?
Before you go in for one, inform yourself. Join us as we discuss how long this procedure tends to last. Then, you can avoid a Kim-Kardashian-level disappointment at your hairdresser.
What Is a Hair Blowout?
In essence, the blowout uses high heat to make your hair “poofier.” It uses your typical hair dryer plus a ceramic comb. The result is shiny trusses that are silky smooth and bursting with volume.
How the Process Works
The process starts with shampoo and conditioning. The stylist uses specialized, hydrating products for the best results. They towel-dry your hair and apply heat protective spray and/or detangling product.
The final step is twofold. They blow dry your hair at a high heat. As they do this, they comb out your locks with a ceramic comb.
This means your hair gets heat both from the dryer and the comb. The result? Your hair is frizz-free and exceptionally smooth.
Types of Blowout Styles
What we mentioned above is the standard procedure. There exists another: a Brazilian blowout.
The difference is that a Brazilian uses keratin products with long-lasting effects. Thanks to these products, your hair remains silky smooth and straight. It becomes easier to style and dries into your preferred hairstyle with ease.
How Long Does the Process Take?
This is a long procedure, so plan ahead. Schedule an appointment long in advance. Expect to be at the shop for at least 45 minutes in total.
Brazilian Procedure Duration
Brazilians take even longer. Expect to wait up to an hour and a half. It’s important to get each step right, otherwise, you may not end up with the desired result.
How Long Does a Blowout Last?
It depends. Most people get the effect of a blowout for 3 to 5 days. The hair regrowth solutions included help to make things last longer.
That said, some people notice the effect’s duration lasts longer with successive treatments. As your hair gets used to this procedure, it “adapts.” The effects may lengthen to a week or longer.
Brazilian Length
Brazilians last much, much longer. Thanks to the keratin treatment, you won’t have to go back for 3 or 4 months.
While they are more expensive, the cost may even out compared to more frequent blowouts. We recommend trying both and seeing which one works best–financially, as well.
