Does Brazilian Relaxer Damage My Hair?

Studio 355 Hair and Day Spa Real Solutions to Brazilian Relaxer

People who are worried that the Brazilian relaxer, also known as the Brazilian Keratin Treatment, will damage their hair have absolutely nothing to worry about. In fact, the Brazilian relaxer is for people with damaged, frizzy and relaxed hair. Traditional relaxers have harsh chemicals that burn the hair, and in some cases the scalp as well. Getting relaxers for a long period of time can cause your hair to break off, and your edges to become crisp. The Japanese straightener is also very harsh.

Why People Get Brazilian Relaxers

Unlike with other relaxers and straightening chemicals, the Brazilian relaxer fixes damages done to the hair. It has keratin in the formula, which is the coating that is naturally found in hair and nails (which is stripped away by relaxers, heat and chemicals). It is a layer of protection that locks in moisture and protects your strands from the UV rays and other damaging things in the atmosphere.

Those that have processed hair from dyes, relaxers, hi-lites or heat damage find solace with the Brazilian relaxer. With it, the hair is shinier, healthier and full of life. It is important that you get the relaxer that is formaldehyde free. The keratin treatment coats the hair to prevent further damage. It leaves your hair softer and allows you to manage your hair more easily. Supposedly, your hair dries quickly and stays straight as well. You are only required to get this treatment every two to three months when the curls start to come back.

Studio 355 on WMZQ’s The Boxer Show

We had the pleasure of helping a listener of WMZQ’s The Boxer Show on Thursday! Check out the full story from TheBoxerShow.com and read the lovely e-mail that was sent to Boxer the day after her service below! Make sure to listen to the excerpt of how this all got started here.

Story courtesy of TheBoxerShow.com:

“So, yesterday, we had Johanna call in with a problem. Johanna’s boyfriend was coming back from Army service, and she wanted to spice up her look a bit so she had used a home hair color kit. It turned her hair nearly black (not what she wanted). She called in asking for some advice and inexpensive home remedies for her dilemma.

Little did she know that intern Julie worked at a salon! All of the advice and even offers to pay for an appointment from everyone that called in was incredible! Julie was able to get a free appointment though with an awesome stylist, Paul Lochard, at Studio 355! We’re always so thrilled here at the Boxer Show when we can help someone! She sent us this awesome e-mail with some pictures and we wanted to share it with you!”

Hey Boxer, Julie and the WMZQ crew,

This is Johanna, the girl who so intelligently decided to try to dye her hair for the first time less then 48 hours before her boyfriend is coming home. Once again I wanted to say thank you so much!! I went to Studio 355 and everyone there was so incredibly nice! Paul is an amazing hair stylist and such a good person in general! And the studio itself is beautiful. I think Paul must be a magician or something, not only was he able to get my hair back to its natural color, but he made it softer than it has ever been! Paul also added some highlights, cut, and styled my hair! It looks absolutely beautiful!! I couldn’t be more please with the results! I just wanted to send a thank you to everyone at WMZQ for helping me out! I cannot wait to see my boyfriend tomorrow and hear his opinion, I know he’ll just love it too! I have attached some photos and I will send more after this weekend of me any my boyfriend. You can see from the pictures that the box’s description of “golden brown” was not very accurate as the color was nearly black! I also attached a photo of Paul and I and one during the process. Enjoy!

Again thank you so so much! Yall are the most amazing people!!

Johanna
