Anyone tried a Brazilian Blowdry?

[mothercourage]

I also had Carly over for a Brazilian treatment. She was such a lovely girl and did a really great job. I've had this done elsewhere before but Carly's done a much better job. I have super thick fuzzy hair which is now really sleek. Amazing and well worth the money.

Carly came and did my hair last week and its brilliant!!! I will be getting this done regularly. She was on time, super nice and my hair looks great! I've always had wavy and frizzy hair but now it's smooth and I literally just have to dry it off in the morning which takes about a minute and off I go and as a working mum I need that more than anything.. Carly also cut my hair at the same time and I was really pleased with it and ill be getting her back in a few weeks to colour it..

Hi strawbs, does it work if you just let it dry naturally?

[Strawbs]

Yes.. I don't fully dry my hair with the hairdryer I just dy it off for about 60 seconds so its not drenched if you know what I mean.. I'd get it done on a Thursday or Friday (Carly does nights also) as you can't wash or tie your hair up for three days but the first two days are ok as it just looks like you have straightened it so looks really nice..

im really tempted. i always, always have my hair in a ponytail and it would be nice to be able to have it down a bit.

i have to wear it in a pony at night as we are pretty much co-sleeping and so it would be nice to be able to just wet it and go in the morning.

It's the best thing ever and my hair is in the best condition it's been for years!

Convex I've petty much had my hair in a bun or pony tail for the past two years (got pregnant and couldn't be bothered to try straightening my hair in between vomits) but since I've had it done I've worn my hair down every day and can't tell you how much easier it is, give it a go for sure x

Hi Family roomers,

I had Carly round yesterday to trim my niece's hair and she mentioned some of the lovely people she's met through the EDF and how nice it's been to meet some other mums as well!

Her standard prices are below, but as a thank-you for the lovely recommendations she's had - if you mention the East Dulwich forum she will take 10% off these prices for your first appointment.

Anyway, she's asked me to mention her prices. I hope this is allowed, I know I've recommended her a few times, but she is such a good hairdresser and really grateful for the positive feedback and support she's had from the EDF ladies on here.

Also had this treatment done by Carly and the results were much better than at the salon I went to last year (different brands). Definitely tamed the frizz. Agree with sparkleheart that feel it needs washing more frequently, but if I can head out without even blow-drying, that's fine by me!

[preston23]

The best thing I have ever had done for my hair.

[theasidonio]

Having my third Brazilian Blow-Dry next week with Carly, and am also having a full-head of colour! Unlike a previous straightening technique I had in a salon a few years back, the brazilian treatment is pefectly safe to use on coloured hair, just a mention in case anyone was put off having a brazilian blow-dry because they colour their hair - no more grey or frizz for me!

[franjipani]

I'm having real problems with frizzy hair (and grey) but don't know how to avoid putting my hair behind my ears or tied back when I bathe or wash my face. How did you manage?

[theasidonio]

If you hair gets a bit kinky or damp in the first three days you are ok to straighten in with straightening irons. Hope that helps. ( I wear mine behind my ears so not so bad for me)

[on_the_hill]

Mmmh sounds great, very tempting. Do you know if you can do highlights and Brazilian blow dry at the same time? If not which one should be done first and how long do you need to wait in between. Thank you ladies, great advice here!

[theasidonio]

Highlights first, then the Brazilian blowdry. Can be done on the same day but can be time-consuming! I had a colour and the blowdry done on the same day x

[Jellybeanz]

My sister in law with curly hair has this treatment and if u use decent salon it's amazing! Hers grows out it lasts so long.

I tried highlights with Carly last week - she's great, and she doesn't mind working around inquisitive children!

[Jacks50]

And I had a brazilian blowdry last week with carly and I love it! much better than the one I had at a salon.

[Strawbs]

Carly now cuts my entire family's hair as well as does my BB which I am having done again tomorrow. Cant rate her highly enough. x

[childsleepsolutions]

Bringing this thread back to the top again! Thanks for those who recommended Carly, she is lovely! She came and did my hair and 2 of my friends, we all love the cuts and the BB is amazing so far! I rough dried it this morning and it went fine and then did the school run in the rain with no hood or umbrella as a test and it dried exactly the same! Unbelievable!!

[JBoylen]

Ahhh I need my hair done but I am having a hard time getting a hold of her, any tips?

[Strawbs]

I send her a text and she normally comes back pretty quickly. x
