Tips and Facts about the Brazilian Keratin Treatment!

2010-12-12T14:07:00.000-08:00

The latest and greatest from Dario Salon!

Hello friends and family!

Today, the family here at Dario Salon would like to let you in on a little secret! We want to share with you all the inside information about a procedure we perform with great skill here at the salon, and that is The Brazilian Keratin Treatment (B.K.T.). Do you have course, curly, and unruly hair? Well, read on because we may just win you over to make an appointment to smooth, straighten and make your hair beautiful for months! Treat yourself- It is the holidays, right?

First we’re going to answer some of the common questions that most people have about the BKT!

“What is this new hair straightening frenzy all about? There are so many of them!”

-Ladies, regardless of the brand name (Brazilian Blowout, Global Keratin Treatment, BKT), most modern-day chemical staighteners rely on a substance naturally found in our hair called keratin that, in treatment form, fills the gaps in the cuticle to add shine and strength, in turn smoothing and de-frizzing hair.

“What is the Brazilian Keratin Treatment?”

-Loaded with botanical extract acai, lipids, amino acids, and keratin, the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is the newest way to smooth hair. Unlike other straighteners, which physically alter the curl pattern, this one is more of a frizz reducer since it is filled with keratin to strengthen and condition. Some staighteners harm hair, the Brazilian Keratin Treatment works to reverse past damage by infusing hair with keratin to improve its overall health. So it doesn’t damage your hair like old curl reducers! It’s actually good for your hair!

“I hear it is a very long process. How long does it really take?”

-True! All straightening treatments are a process! This treatment is time-consuming, labor intensive, and is only as good as the stylist performing the treatment. It’s a very hard process and some people don’t get good results because their stylist doesn’t run the iron through the hair enough times or the use sections of hair that are too long.

-It’s a great thing that we have amazing stylists like Shannon, Jamie, Jessica, Erica, and Dario! All of them are certified to do this treatment and all have multiple clients who LOVE their results and come back for more! This process takes 3-6 hours, on average, from start to finish.

- 1. Wash hair thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo... twice. 2. Towel dry. 3. Apply product all over hair, section by section, 1/2 inch away from scalp (varies on desired results) 4. Blow Dry Hair 100% 5. Last but not least, Flat Iron. This step is sometimes unnecessary and often varies according to desired results as well.

“If it’s going to take 3-6 hours, is it worth the process?”

-Absolutely! First let me remind you that we have the latest gossip and fashion magazines to help the time fly, along with many flavors of hot or cold tea or coffee to ensure that the hourly process is enjoyed rather than dreaded! Straightening treatments last on average, close to 5 months! So, 5 months of never having to lay a straightening iron on my hair? SIGN ME UP!!!

“Who’s this treatment really for? Would I be a good candidate for this treatment?”

-GREAT NEWS! Straightening treatments are for all hair types, including damaged and colored hair, and even those who want to eliminate frizz while still keeping some bend!

What are the DO’s and DON’Ts after I’ve had the BKT?

-It is crucial not to wash or wet your hair, or pull it back for the first three or four days. Any bends will disrupt the process and may leave a mark. Also, you can only wash with sodium sulfate-free shampoos. If you use anything else, you’ll strip the treatment out of your hair. Conveniently, we have a great line of sulfate-free products that you can purchase at the salon that work great with the BKT products!! You’re welcome J

“Will I have to blow-dry my hair or straighten it ever again?”

-Ladies, this is the best part! After your wash you do not need to do anything UNLESS you are desiring a certain look that requires more volume (with a blow-dryer) or a straighter, sleeker look (with a flat iron).

Now, for the fine print…

Of course, like anything else with chemical ingredients, the Global Keratin Hair Taming System has some effects, First Aid Procedure and other information that must be told so we are going to share all the facts with all of you with integrity and honesty because that’s what our clients deserve J

Brazilian Straightening is here!!

2008-12-03T10:15:00.000-08:00

We are excited to inform you that we are now carrying a Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment!! This revolutionary treatment softens, smooths, and most importantly gives you straight, frizz-free healthy looking hair!

The other great thing about the treatment is that it isn't permanent. It lasts up to four months, but if you aren't thrilled about the results (which you will be :) ) your hair goes back to its natural texture.

It can be used on the most damaged overprocessed hair as well. It actually helps to heal the cuticle of the damaged hair by replacing the karatin bonds that have been broken. It leaves your hair amazingly soft and shiny!

They are even talking about it in Elle magazine saying that "everybody has been amazed with the results"!!

Hairbrushes! by Eve Kelly

Hairbrushes
By Eve Kelly Published Wednesday, July 23, 2008

I’ve fought a decade-long battle to keep hairbrushes in the Kelly home. I’ll snatch a few into custody at the store, but once home, they go underground, never to be found again. The time has come to invest in another lot of them, and I’m going to test the theory that if you pay more for something, you’ll do a better job taking care of it. But what type to buy? I called some friends and experts for advice.

“As someone with hair that tends to frizz, a good hairbrush is absolutely vital to taming the mane,” stated my friend Anna. “For years I’ve been satisfied with only one: the Widu bristle hairbrush — handmade in Italy, with wood bristles [$39.95 at Isabella in Spring Valley, 800-777-5205]. It’s totally hypoallergenic and synthetic-free, made especially for longer, thicker, curlier hair such as mine, but I would recommend it to anyone. The wood is easy on the hair and minimizes breakage. I used to brush through my hair only when it was wet, to avoid frizz, but now that I use the Widu brush, I can do so whenever I want.”

“You always want to look for something that is either boar bristle because it has naturally rounded bristles, or something manufactured in nylon,” explained Doug Yeagley, creative director and owner of Tops Salon in Mission Hills (619-295-1525). “It is very important to have the tips rounded; it gets the tangles out faster. If pointed, they’re going to catch on any kind of imperfection in the hair; they’ll rip through it. And then when the hair is damaged, it can never be repaired.

“And with some brushes, the length of the teeth is something you have to concern yourself with because they will grab in the hair. Some people do better with a longer brush, some people do better with a shorter bristles.”

Do you have a favorite hairbrush?

“I am a hair cutter, so I always have a brush that I like. I use a Paul Mitchell Sculpting Brush — nylon, a cushion on the base, the teeth are wider apart so you can move the hair a little bit. The tighter the teeth, the more it grabs at the hair and the more it smashes the hair together. A sculpting brush is something that you can work through a normal density of hair and get through it easy. Sculpting brushes have a soft pad and fewer teeth in them. The paddle brushes have a lot more teeth in them; they are designed to pull the hair together and brush the scalp. They have a cushion to them, so when you are brushing on the scalp it actually stimulates the scalp and releases the oil and stimulates blood flow, just like a massage.”

Will a brush last a lifetime?

“No. If it is boar bristle, which is a more- expensive bristle, depending on how often you use it, you have to check the tips of the brush to find out if they are pointed or not. If they are still rounded, you are okay. If they have worn to a point, then it is going to rip your hair.”

How should you clean your brush?

“You want to pull all the loose hair out of the brush. Why would you want dead hair on a brush? And then what we do is spray the brush with rubbing alcohol. Then we take two brushes and brush them together and that gets the hairs off the base and then you can pick them off.”

“I do like the bristle brushes,” said Dario Enemocon, owner of Dario Salon in La Jolla (858-456-1339). Enemocon has been doing hair for 20 years. “I found that with bristle brushes the hair gets a better shine and the styling holds better. I’ve found that even working on very ethnic hair, you have more control over the hair and it provides more shine, a more smoothing look.”

For the home stylist, “Spornette brushes are easy to work.” (A medium-size brush runs between $28 and $30 at Dario’s; larger sizes run $30 to $35 a brush.)

“Denman brushes, made in England [$35 each at Dario’s], are more flat paddle brushes — 16 rows or 9 rows. They are mainly used for people with very fine, straight hair that doesn’t need too much work. Or, for someone who doesn’t know how to work with a round brush as they do

their hair at home, the Denman is the perfect brush to use. And Marilyn are fantastic brushes also [$35 to $40 at Dario’s].
“Brushes must be cleaned at least every two weeks. Remove all that hair that is building up on the brush. That hair, with the heat [from the blow dryer] is going to start burning, and it’s going to create split ends on your hair.”

What about curly hair?

“After shampooing and conditioning,” Enemocon explained, “definitely using a comb is the best way to go with that type of hair. Combing the hair is the key to probably 50 percent of the client’s own styling at home. I tell my clients to comb the hair when it is wet. Put the styling products on the hair, brush the hair for two or three minutes, making sure that the product goes all the way through the cuticle of the hair. It kind of stimulates the cuticle of the hair; it creates a little bit more of the strength of the hair. It makes the scalp of the hair produce more natural oils without making the hair oily. Then you will achieve more shine, a little more of a smooth texture than you would by just putting the product in there and not doing anything.”
