]]>Formaldehyde is a chemical considered carcinogenic (cancer-causing) but while this is an ingredient in a Brazilian Blowout, it comes in a very small quantity that is unlikely to be harmful. Still, if you’re worried, there are other hair-smoothing treatments such as keratin shampoos that do not contain this ingredient.
If you love your natural hair texture and volume, then think twice before getting a Brazilian Blowout. This is because some natural curls don’t return to their natural shape after this treatment.
Typically, a Brazilian Blowout lasts for three to four months. Still, this is not a hard and fast rule and will largely depend on how your hair reacts. Ultimately, it’s important to consider whether you really want the sleek look from a Brazilian Blowout before getting it done.

]]>If you have a round face shape, your face is almost as wide as it is long. A round face shape aims to create the illusion of length, so hairstyles with height and volume on top will work best for you. Avoid short haircuts that end at your chin, as these will only make your face appear wider. Long layers, side-swept bangs, voluminous updos, and high ponytails are perfect for the round face shape.
If you have a square face shape, your face is characterized by a strong, angular jawline. The aim of a square face shape is to soften the angles and create a more rounded appearance. Hairstyles with soft layers or waves will work best for you. Soft, layered bobs, loose waves, side-swept bangs, and long, layered hair are perfect for the square face shape.
If you have an oval face shape, consider yourself lucky because this face shape can pull off almost any hairstyle. With an oval face shape, the length of your face is about one and a half times the width, and the forehead is slightly wider than the jawline. An oval face shape aims to maintain balance, so any hairstyle that doesn’t overwhelm your face will work. Long layers, beach waves, blunt bob, side-swept bangs, and a messy bun are perfect for the oval face shape.
If you have a heart face shape, your forehead is wider than your jawline, and you have a sharp chin. A heart face shape aims to soften the angles and create a more rounded appearance around the chin area. Hairstyles that add volume around the jawline will work best for you. Long, side-swept bangs, a textured bob, a messy updo, and wavy hair are perfect for the heart face shape.
If you have a diamond face shape, your cheekbones are the widest part of your face, and your forehead and chin are narrower. A diamond face shape aims to balance the angles and create a more rounded appearance. Hairstyles with volume on the top and sides will work best for you. Pixie cut, shoulder-length bob, layered hair, and side-swept bangs are perfect for the diamond face shape.

]]>The key to beachy waves is salt water, and luckily there are tons of products on the market today to help you create the same look at home. Our favorite wave spray is by Ouai. It’s actually salt free but uses rice protein and coconut water to help you achieve that just-out-of-the-ocean look.
Different hairstyles will leave different textures in your hair, so experiment with various twists and braids to see which ones create the look you’re after. We recommend braiding your hair while it’s still wet. Leave them in overnight and in the morning tousle your hair with a little more spray.
This may take a little more practice, but beach waves can also be achieved using tools like a curling iron or even a straightener.
