What is a Brazilian Blowout?

Lux Hair Bar • July 18, 2025

Is there anything better than that fresh-from-the-salon feeling? From soft, bouncy curls to a daring new cut, leaving the salon with a new hairstyle can make you feel like a new person. The words "blowout" and "Brazilian blowout" might come to mind for those wanting a refresh. This leads to one of the most common questions in hair styling: What's the difference between the two? And beyond that, which is the right style for you? We discuss why we think you'll love getting a Brazilian blowout from one of our stylists during your next appointment:

Blowout VS Brazilian Blowout

A classic blowout often starts with a luxurious wash and scalp massage and ends with a round brush, creating a sleek, smooth style lifted at the root for beautiful volume. This will typically last a few days after your salon visit. A Brazilian blowout is a longer-lasting hair straightening treatment that uses a liquid keratin formula to coat each strand, seal the cuticle, and lock in shine with a blow-dry and flat iron. Brazilian straightening helps keep your hair silky and manageable for weeks, saving you time on styling and protecting your hair from humidity (a must during summer in Lexington). Think of a blowout as a hairstyle and a Brazilian blowout as a hair treatment that delivers a beautiful style.

The Best Hair Types for a Brazilian Blowout

The beauty of a Brazilian blowout is that it can be an excellent treatment and style for various hair types! Typically, those who struggle with frizz or unwanted curls benefit best from this treatment, as it smooths things out while keeping your hair's natural body. This is thanks to the keratin treatment that leaves the hair shiny, smooth, and manageable. If your hair is naturally straight but you deal with flyaway hairs or humidity-induced frizz, a Brazilian straightening treatment can help you get that sleek, polished look with less effort. Fine hair can benefit, too, but talk with our stylists so the treatment doesn't weigh your hair down. Trained in Aveda products and methodology, our team of experts can recommend the best items for you so you can maintain your style between visits!
