Comment on When to Wash Your Hair after A Rebonding by Cherrykuns.

1. Brazilian hair treatment (commonly called Brazilian blowout in some locations) is, you probably guessed right, a treatment which infuses your hair with keratin and proteins thru heat (blowdrying – hence the blowout part, and sometimes, the ironing process [which is more akin to a keratin smoothing treatment]). It works quite well on chemically treated hair and improve its condition; reducing frizz and making it smooth and sleek. It can be used immediately after a color or highlighting treatment, and I received one immediately after a rebonding session.

2. Hm. A friend of mine runs a salon and attests that you can wash your hair immediately and use clips after a Brazilian blowout, but ONLY if it’s the sole treatment you received; mine had a rebond prior to the blowout, hence, the 72-hour water lockdown still applied (since I follow the stylist’s words religiously; now I’m on my second day, wee). Did a strand test by washing a small part of my tresses – will be comparing it to the ‘time-cured’ locks later.

3. Normal rebonding is okay, but it leaves your hair a bit on the fragile side. It’s quite great to combine the two treatments, though it can be quite expensive.
