Hello,
The Keratin Brazilian Blow-dry Treatment would perfectly works for afro hair but it depends on the result you would like to achieve for your hair. If you want to make your hair porker straight, then the keratin Brazilian Blow-dry treatment might not be for you. However, the Keratin Treatments deliver soft, shiny, and manageable hair (easy to blow-dry). It can be used on any type of hair to reduce 30% to 80% of curl and frizz (depends on your hair condition), while enhancing shine and softness.
The process for this treatment is similar to the Japanese Yuko System (permanent strengthening treatment) or Relaxers for afro hair, but the Keratin Brazilian blow-dry treatments do not permanently alter the bonds of the hair. Keratin is a natural repairing substance, which comprises approximately 88% of your hair. It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. Keratin is high in sulphur and the amino acid cysteine which make it tough, elastic and insoluble. These qualities are fundamental to the strong structural role keratin often plays in nature. It is the main protective substance in our hair, skin and nails
We stock 8 different types of the Keratin Brazilian treatment to accommodate all type of customers. We offer a free consultation for the treatment and our Brazilian Blow-dry expert checks your hair and gives you a professional advice,

Thanks for your help! my hair has a texturiser on it already, so the curl is quite light. I just heard that brazilian blow drys were less damaging to the hair than chemical treatments, so was thinking of making the transition.
I don't want my hair to be poker straight, but I do want it to be more manageable and less prone to frizz!

There is lots of other options for looking after mixed race hair, there are tons of good websites that teach how to get rid of frizz and how to grow long hair without chemicals!

Hi Alex, yes a brazilian blowdry would work on your hair. It would smoth out the hair and make it more managable. It would not make it straight, on afro carabean hair it makes the curl more relaxed and takes away the frizzyness whilst strenghtening it with Keratin. Hope this helps

Hi We have a lady who has her hair chemically relaxed but finds it a bit stiff so have the BBD afterwards to give her the 'swish' and natural feel she requires.
I am sure she would be happy to confirm this for you. Debbie.

I am fully black with straightish (but not soft) hair. The brazillian blow dry worked well on my hair. Appanrently the more treatments you have the better your hair looks. You need to carefully choose the hair salon and what product they are using as some of them are not as 'natural and pure' as they could be .

Meluk, which salon did you have your treatment at? and would you recommend that salon?

The brazilian blowdry would certainly make your hair look and feel better as it smoothes and de frizzes the hair but it probably wouldn't leave it completely strait.
The treatment seems to be more affecive and results more noticable the more damaged your hair is, it works best on chemically treated hair.
so I would say yes.
