What is Brazilian hair straightening?
Written by chameleonfridays on August 9th, 2008Brazilian hair straightening is a method of straightening hair, temporarily.
It has several names including:
- Keratin straightening
- Brazilian blow out
- BKT
- BKST
- Brazilian Keratin hair straightening
- Escova progressiva (the Brazilian name)
It uses a solution of Keratin to seal the hair and hold it flat. Normally it lasts around 10 weeks, after which time it will need treating again.
Its not cheap, at around £200 to £500, with only a few salons in London who provide this treatment.
