How the treatment works
A Brazilian Hair Treatment uses a keratin solution applied to the hair and then sealed with a hair iron to produce temporary straightening. The iron’s heat locks the keratin into the hair cuticle, smoothing strands and reducing natural curl or frizz. For maximum effectiveness the sealed finish helps results last up to 12 weeks.
The exact outcome depends on your hair’s texture, porosity and prior chemical services. Stylists control how much solution is used and how the iron is applied to balance desired straightening with maintaining hair integrity. Clients should expect a tailored application rather than a one-size-fits-all process to achieve appropriate smoothness and manageability.
Results, longevity and limits
The primary result is temporary straightening and reduced frizz; the treatment does not permanently alter hair structure. When sealed with a hair iron as described, results can last up to 12 weeks. Local climate factors in Raleigh — hot, humid summers and seasonal pollen — can influence how long hair stays smooth and how often touch-ups are desirable.
This is a repeatable salon service rather than a permanent change. The service typically takes 80 MINUTES and costs $350. How long you go between appointments will depend on your hair growth rate, styling habits, and how you manage humidity and cleansing at home.
Aftercare and Raleigh considerations
Aftercare influences how long smoothing effects last. Many clients find gentle, sulfate-free cleansing and minimal heat styling preserve the sealed keratin layer longer. In Raleigh’s humid conditions, anti-frizz styling and humidity-blocking products can help maintain results, while heavy sweating or frequent washing may shorten the 12-week window.
Practical local tips: SkyLine Hair Salon’s Brentwood/Northeast Raleigh location is convenient for commuters along Capital Boulevard and I-440, making it easy to schedule an 80 MINUTES appointment around errands at Triangle Town Center or North Hills. Your stylist will review home maintenance and timing for repeat visits during your consultation.
