So you’ve had a Brazilian Blowout (or you’re thinking about getting one) but you have no idea how to take care of your hair after the procedure. Maybe you didn’t even know that there are several things you need to do to make the treatment last for a long time! Well, today we are going to teach you the perfect aftercare routine to keep your locks looking flawless!

BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT AFTERCARE ROUTINE

Right after getting your Brazilian Blowout, you should stay at least three days without washing your hair. Of course, you’re going to need to wash it at some point, but the frequency should be low - otherwise, you’ll simply be removing the effects of the procedure from your locks!

Not only should you lower the frequency of your hair washes, but you should also avoid exposing your mane to saltwater or water with high levels of chlorine (aka, pool water). If you are a swimmer, remember to wear a cap! Also, if you’re going to swim in the ocean or without a cap, at least get your hair wet beforehand and apply conditioner or natural oils to it. By doing this, your hair will have a layer of protection!

The main benefit of a Brazilian Blowout is the fact that your hair will look great without any need to style it. However, if you do find yourself in need of some styling, you should remember that using products such as hairspray and mousse will leave your hair dirty and dry.  Opt for the simple combo: blowdryer + flat iron. And if styling products are essential, use chemical-free ones!

Just like water should be avoided after a Brazilian Blowout, sun exposure also needs to be limited. Frequent or intense submission to sunlight can damage both hair and skin cells. If you love going to the beach or need to be under the sun for a long time, use a hat or a hair sunscreen, ok? 

Among the several advantages of the Brazilian Blowout is the fact that your hair will be frizz-free. But if you don’t change some things about your routine, frizz can be back in a short period of time - and we surely don’t want that to happen! 

One of the main reasons for frizzy hair (especially when we are talking about curly or wavy locks) is the friction between the head and pillowcase. The solution for that friction is quite simple: a silk pillowcase! This type of fabric creates little to no friction, meaning you will wake up with frizz-free hair after the treatment for a long time!

Last but not least, to make sure the effects of your Brazilian Blowout last, you have to use the right hair products! When buying hair products, look for those without sodium and sulfate-free. There are even some amazing brands that have shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks specially formulated for the Blowout aftercare - just like RIOBELO! 

RIOBELO, a fantastic hair care brand from Brazil, has developed two lines for aftercare: the Maracujá (the Portuguese word for passionfruit) line, for all hair types, and the Açaí line, specifically for blonde and color-treated hair. By using their aftercare kit that consists of shampoo, conditioner, and repair mask, you can rest assured that the Blowout effects won’t go anywhere!

By following the above steps, your hair will look smooth and shiny for as long as possible! As you can see, they aren’t that tricky, right? So follow this aftercare routine and feel amazing with your gleaming, soft locks!
