You’ve heard much of the Brazilian Blowout over the last year. Nicole Richie swears it’s freed her from having to blow dry her gorgeously glossy head of hair. Vogue calls it “seriously liberating.”
Well, I for one have been “seriously intrigued,” so when Allan’s Salon invited me in for the treatment, I didn’t think twice.

What exactly is the Brazilian Blowout?
First things first. According to the official site, the Brazilian Blowout is the only professional smoothing treatment that gives you smooth, shiny, frizz free hair without using any harsh …

Sometimes, you wake up and realize you’ve gone far too long between salon appointments, and worse, you don’t foresee making it there in the reasonable future either. You have weeks of frizzy, badly-behaved hair with no redeeming hope in sight. And by ‘you,’ I mean ‘I,’ of course.
