I did one last year when they allowed formaldehyde and it was awesome, lasted 8 months! No need to blow dry at all.


They have since regulated it so the actual working (yet unhealthy) chemical is now no longer in the formula. I can say that it does help me have straighter hair, but I do need to blow dry it each day unlike last time.


Do I thin it is worth 200 quid? No. But if you can get a deal I would try it out.


That said, it does depend on your hair and what you are looking for as an end result. I will not be getting it done again, I think the price is too steep for the results I get. I might try the straightening at home kits.


If anyone knows any place that still uses the formula with formaldehyde though, let me know - I would gladly pay the price for the potential health risk (to the client and the others in the salon).

Hi


Is ?80 for a particular length of hair? Mine is down to my bra strap.. Also does it take long at home? I have a 1 year old so not sure I could be in a chair for hours and it might be better to leave him at home and get it done in a salon.. thanks!

Yes mine is nearly as long as yours Strawbs. Whole process took about an hour.

You wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo, she blow dries. Then she paints on the stuff onto your dried hair, leave for twenty minutes, rinse again, then finally it is blow-dried again and gone over with flat irons to lock the stuff in.


You can't wash or tie up your hair for 3 or 4 days after and it gets pretty greasy in this time.



ClareC. I still blowdry my hair as normal (rough drying) and it doesn't need going over with straightening irons unless i'm going on a night out and want it poker straight. I've found my hair is more volumised but some others I know have said the opposite. The downside (IMO, a small price to pay), I find that I have to wash my hair more often now, but maybe that's because I'm constantly running my fingers through it.

Hi, I've just had it done and wouldmrecommendnit. My hair is generally frizzy and wavy and bb has made it much calmer. I still usea straightener if I want it to look really neat but don't have to. My hairdresser friend who is on maternity leave and free lancing came home and did it for me, she brought her little girl (1 yr old) who played with my 1 yr old! I have shoulder length hair and she charged about ?50. Let me know if anyone wants contact details!

This thread just made me choke. I've never heard of Brazilian Blowdry and assumed it meant an extra feature of the well-known "brazilian"! The first couple of comments about achieving straight hair for long periods of time left me slightly bemused, then it clicked. I can't stop laughing. At Myself. Oh well. You learn something new...

Tee hee, I only knew as I thought it sounded rude and then googled it! The results sounded totally not rude and too good to be true! Can't stop thinking of how the other type of Brazilian could be blow dried.. Sounds painful!

My sister in law used to have this done, she has almost afro-type thick curly hair (she is Spanish) - her hair was transformed into sleek, silky straight hair, it was amazing! Costs a fortune to get it done properly usually but from seeing her results it does last - hers grew out rather than came out...

If you are thinking about getting a brazilian blowdry for the festive season, get booking now. Carly has already got 8 booked in for the first week in December (including me! yay!).

It's ?80 with a free cut. You will need to buy aftercare shampoo and conditioner, she can get this for you if you mention when booking or you can order online from Amazon.


Carly will come to your house, days, evenings or weekends, 07903 241 170


Forgot to add:


She also does cuts, colours, highlights etc


also does kid's hair!

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
