How to Moisturize After a Blowout

Moisturize properly to keep your hair straight longer.

At $200 to $500 per treatment, you want to take care of your Brazilian blowout to make sure the treatment does not fade before it should. Neglect your blowout and you could find yourself back at the salon dropping hundreds of dollars much sooner than necessary. Learn how to moisturize your hair after a Brazilian blowout to make sure your blowout lasts as long as possible.

Instructions

1. Wait three days after the treatment before you moisturize your hair. This gives the Brazilian blowout plenty of time to take effect on your hair. Should your hair get wet at all in the first three days after your blowout, blow-dry it immediately and then straighten it with a flatiron.

2. Use conditioners and shampoos free of sodium chloride to moisturize your hair after the three days have passed.

3. Apply a conditioning masque every two weeks to keep your hair moisturized after the blowout. Apply the masque in the shower, then leave it in your hair for the length of time specified on the bottle before you rinse it out.

Tips & Warnings

• Your Brazilian blowout will also last longer if you keep it away from water that contains sodium chloride.
