What to Expect at Your First Brazilian Blowout Appointment in Chicago

If you've been dreaming of smooth, frizz-free hair and considering a Brazilian Blowout for the first time, you're in the right place! As a West Loop hairstylist specializing in Brazilian Blowouts, I want to walk you through everything you can expect during your first appointment, so you’ll be fully prepared for a fabulous, stress-free experience.

💇‍♀️ What Is a Brazilian Blowout?

A Brazilian Blowout is a keratin-based treatment designed to smooth the hair, reduce frizz, and add shine. Unlike traditional straightening treatments, it doesn’t alter the hair's natural texture. Instead, it seals a protective layer around each strand, making your hair more manageable and healthier-looking—without sacrificing volume or body.

Whether you have thick, coarse hair, waves, or curls, a Brazilian Blowout is perfect for taming frizz and making your hair easier to style—especially in a humid city like Chicago.

🧴 Before Your Brazilian Blowout Appointment

Consultation Time:

Your first Brazilian Blowout appointment will start with a thorough consultation. I'll take a close look at your hair’s texture, health, and previous treatments. This step is critical because it helps determine if a Brazilian Blowout is the right choice for you and if any customization is needed to ensure the best results.

You’ll also have the chance to discuss your hair goals—whether you want a sleek, straight look, or simply want to reduce frizz and retain some wave.

What to Bring:

• Clean Hair: You’ll want to come with freshly washed hair, but without any heavy styling products. We’ll do a quick shampoo at the salon before we start the treatment.

• No Heat Styling: Avoid using heat tools like straighteners or curling irons in the days leading up to your appointment. It’s best to arrive with natural hair so we can assess it at its best.

🧑‍🔬 The Brazilian Blowout Process

1. The Application:

Once we’ve discussed your goals, I’ll apply the Brazilian Blowout treatment to your hair section by section. The formula is worked through the hair to coat every strand, helping to seal the cuticle and eliminate frizz. The process usually takes around 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your hair's length and thickness.

2. Blow-Drying and Flat Ironing:

After the treatment is applied, your hair will be blow-dried and flat-ironed to activate the formula and seal it in. The heat from the blow dryer and flat iron helps lock the keratin into the hair, leaving it smoother and shinier.

3. The Scent:

One thing many first-timers ask is whether the treatment smells. The Brazilian Blowout formula has a slight scent, but it’s not overwhelming. After your appointment, your hair will smell fresh and clean.

🕒 Aftercare and Maintenance for Your Brazilian Blowout

Immediate Results:

You’ll be able to see immediate results! Your hair will be smoother, shinier, and noticeably more manageable. Unlike some treatments that require waiting days to fully activate, a Brazilian Blowout works instantly.

Washing and Styling:

One of the best parts of this treatment is that there’s no waiting around after your appointment. You can wash and style your hair as usual right away—no need to wait for 72 hours like with other smoothing treatments.

For the first few days, try to avoid excessive sweating, and refrain from wearing hats or tying your hair up. Your new, sleek hair needs time to settle in.

💆‍♀️ How Long Will Your Brazilian Blowout Last?

A Brazilian Blowout typically lasts 10–12 weeks with proper care. To maintain the results, you’ll want to avoid products containing sulfates (they strip the treatment). I recommend using the Brazilian Blowout aftercare line, which will extend the life of your treatment and keep your hair looking its best.
