[…] we recommend the Brazilian Blow Dry at Compton Hair
The Compton Hair Brazilian Blow Out
Kiss goodbye to everyday frizz with the new […] keratin treatment from Brazil available at Compton Hair. This innovative process transforms the hair in its entirety by coating the hair shaft with the hairs primary protein Keratin. […]
"This is the perfect treatment for someone who uses a blow dryer and straighteners on their hair regularly. A permanent blow dry that locks in goodness, giving ultra shine and frizz free hair every day" says Zoltan our Creative Director
The application takes anywhere from 1½ to 4 hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair. The results last two to four months and the treatment fades progressively as the hair is washed. […]
Formaldehyde, then
Early Brazilian blow-dries used formaldehyde. At Compton it was kept to a tiny amount (under 0.02%, as Harper’s Bazaar reported) and dried on low heat. Today Zoltan’s treatments don’t use it.
