The straight facts about Brazilian hair straightening

Brazilian Hair Straightening has been touted as a revolutionary way of giving you straight hair on a semi permanent basis. But many women wonder if it is all that its cracked up to be? Here then are the top 5 questions that most women have when considering using BHS to go straight.
The biggest question most women have about Brazilian Hair Straightening is it safe for your hair. The answer is of course, yes. In fact, if you have damage to your hair it can help repair it. It will lock in any previous hair coloring treatment and make your hair shiny and silky.
The second most often asked question is usually will it produce excellent results with my hair type. The answer is it will work on all hair types but you should call and ask your stylist first. The reason is that not all of them will work on all hair types. For example some do not take clients with African-American hair. You should also note that if you plan to use it on your child's hair, they recommend they be at least 9 years of age or older.
After that, most people ask how long does it last. If you have 'virgin hair' (hair that has not been treated previously), it will last up to 2 months. If your hair has been colored or highlighted previously than you can expect it to last up to 4 months.
Most people also want to know how they should care for their treated hair. After your treatment you can wash and shampoo your hair as normal as long as the shampoo does not contain sulfates or sodium chloride. And if you wanted to, you can even curl your treated hair.
Last and certainly not least, many women what to know how much Brazilian hair straightening costs. Prices for this service usually range from $100 to $200. There is a big price gap for 2 reasons. First, depending you the condition, length and texture of your hair, it will take more work to get it straight. Second, there are no standards and the salons can charge as much as they want so you should shop around a bit to get the best deal.
These are the most frequently asked questions about Brazilian hair straightening. If you would like to know more about the procedure before committing your money, I suggest you call some beauticians in your area and ask for a free consultation.
