Brazilian Blowout Vs. Keratin Treatment

June 17, 2022 by admin

Summer right around the corner means warm weather and higher levels of humidity, which can lead to frizzy hair. During this season some popular treatments can be done to help eliminate frizz. Treatments such as Brazilian blowout and keratin treatments both have benefits depending on which treatment is most suitable for your hair.

The Difference Between Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Treatment

Brazilian blowouts and keratin treatments have the same effect on hair. Both eliminate frizz and smooth the hair. They are safe for all hair types including color-treated hair. The main difference between the Brazilian blowout and keratin treatment is that the Brazilian blowout is more customizable. With a Brazilian blowout, the hair stylist can tailor it to your natural hair texture meaning you don’t have to sacrifice your volume or waves.

Another way in which the Brazilian blowout and keratin treatment differ is the downtime. After a keratin treatment, you can’t get your hair wet for 72 hours. The Brazilian blowout does not require any downtime, you can go about your regular styling routine. Another difference to note is the intensity of both treatments. The Brazilian blowout is lighter and will leave hair with more of your natural texture. Keratin tends to be heavier which helps better tame fizz and takes away the additional volume of your hair.

Procedure

The method of application for these treatments does vary. For the Brazilian blowout, the process usually takes two hours, and the results are instant. As opposed to the keratin treatment which will take approximately 3 hours and you will leave the salon with your hair partially done. After the keratin treatment is done you have to wait 72 hours to allow for the keratin to crystalize. 

Now that we’ve given you a rundown of both the Brazilian Blowout and keratin treatment and the process of each, now is your turn to determine which one is right for you! Beauty Lounge RI offers these services and more. Interested in booking? Contact us today to book an appointment!

End of Summer Hair Care

September 3, 2019 by admin

As summer comes to an end, the weather gets cooler and tan lines start to fade. Those sunny days at the beach are becoming a distant memory, but your hair might not forget so easily.

We all love summer — but summer doesn’t always love our hair. Too much time spent in the sun can discolor your highlights or natural color. And because summer is so hot, you probably wore your hair up most of the time, putting a strain on your roots from high ponytails and top knots. Finally, all that chlorine, saltwater, and even air conditioning suck the moisture out of your hair, leaving your strands frizzy and dry.

That was a lot of scary information, but don’t worry — the damage isn’t permanent. There are treatments that can breathe life back into your sun-scorched and dried-out hair.

The Style Team at the Beauty Lounge wants your hair to be just as healthy today as it was back in May. We’ve got some tricks up our sleeves that can revitalize your locks and have them ready for fall!

trim those dead ends

TRIM THOSE DEAD ENDS

Those days out in the sun and in the water cause dryness that can wreak havoc on the ends of your hair. Split ends and frizz aren’t a great look, and if ignored, will only get worse.

Get a fresh start by trimming your dead ends. The sooner you do this, the less your stylist will have to take off. Chopping those dead ends will result in healthier hair, with shiny volume and minimal frizz.

go au-naturelle

GO AU-NATURALE

It’s best to keep things natural for a while so your hair can recover from the summer heat. Too many days at the beach has dried out your hair, so don’t add more fuel to the fire with excessive styling. Give your hair a break by staying away from blow drying, straightening, or curling.

We also recommend leaving your hair down rather than tying it back. Hair elastics rip out strands, and tight ponytails or buns pull on your roots – which can even result in hair loss. C’mon, let your hair down!

pamper your hair

PAMPER YOUR HAIR

It’s possible that even a trim and break from styling won’t completely bring your hair back to life after summer. That’s where we come in!

Hair masks are affordable and effective. Our Hair Repairing Treatment Vials contain 100% organic leaf extracts that will moisturize and reconstruct your brittle strands. To further strengthen your hair, try Muru Muru Butter with its restorative fatty acids and Vitamin A. We also offer Milkshake hair products that contain milk proteins and fruit extracts to keep your hair silky and strong.

Really looking to revitalize your dried-out hair? A keratin treatment is the perfect way to smooth out all your frizz and kinks. This treatment basically puts armor on your strands, protecting them from future heat. Your hair won’t be dull and poofy anymore, so you’ll leave the salon with sleek and shiny locks.

You don’t have to regret those beach days! Our end-of-summer hair care tips will have your hair back to its luscious and shiny state in no time. Book an appointment with us today!

Spring & Summer Hair Trends

April 30, 2019 by admin

With the rising temperatures and more time spent out in the sun, many women opt for lighter hair colors for the spring and summer seasons. At the Beauty Lounge, we want to make sure that your hair is ready for all your summer vacation photos! These are some of our favorite trends for the warmer seasons:

White-Blonde Highlights

Every blonde wants to lighten up her hair for the summer season. It’s time to try white-blonde highlights! They make your hair look sun-kissed and effortless. Whether your hair is straight or curly, long or short, the white-blonde will glisten in the sun and make a significant pop in your lip and eye color.

Caramel Highlights

If you want to brighten your brown hair for the summer but keep your tasteful chocolate color, consider caramel highlights! This caramel shade contrasts with the deep brown in your natural hair, making it pop even more while highlighting the colors in your face.

Natural Reds

copper

Red is such a bold, beautiful, exotic color and experts predict that we’ll see it as a top trend in this coming spring. As opposed to drastic and deep reds, the spring and summer welcomes copper and the copper-gold family to create a more natural color.

Pastels

sorbet

Spring is known for bright pastel colors, so don’t leave your hair out of the fun! Pastel shades like pink, lilac, and icy blue have become more popular in the spring. As these colors certainly make a statement, we recommend that you first try dying smaller sections on the interior of your hair to ensure that the color is everything you have dreamed.
