Keratin Treatment vs. Brazilian Blowout: What's Right for You?

January 21, 2025 · InStyle Salon Team

If you’re tired of frizz and want smoother, more manageable hair, you’ve probably heard of both keratin treatments and Brazilian blowouts. Both are popular at InStyle Salon in Johns Creek, but they work differently. Here’s how to choose.

What Is a Keratin Treatment?

A keratin treatment infuses the hair with keratin protein, sealing the cuticle and smoothing the hair shaft. Results typically last 3–5 months. Hair is left straighter and silkier with significantly less frizz. It’s ideal if you want a more dramatic smoothing effect and don’t mind avoiding certain sulfates for a period after the service.

What Is a Brazilian Blowout?

A Brazilian blowout also smooths and reduces frizz but is formulated to maintain more of your natural wave or curl. It’s a great option if you want frizz control without going pin-straight. Results last several months with proper aftercare.

Which One Is Right for You?

  • Choose keratin if you want maximum smoothness and straighter results.
  • Choose Brazilian blowout if you want to keep movement and wave while eliminating frizz.
