hair alteration

September 2007. $350. Four hours. That was the first time I had a Brazilian blow-out. 

I went from frizzy dry hair to shiny straight hair. Upkeep was easy. I loved it, about two weeks after. The beginning is always hideous. Stick straight coyote ugly.

Today I am having keratin treatment. I get this annually with Julie at Sergio Limpopo.  I pay $99 and am in and out in one hour. It's one of the few things in life that has decreased in price over time.

My hair is still recovering from my April chop job, where short layers were cut all around my head, the color was made darker, and my hair ended up dry and dead. My layers still need to grow another two inches, but the color and texture is so much better than it was. I had it blown out on Tuesday, and it still looks good. Especially the back. But I can't replicate this on my own.






Today I see Julie at Sergio Limpopo Salon in midtown. She is amazing! Talented, fast, and nice. I trust her totally. She knows what she's doing, and the straightening always lasts me at least six months, usually longer.


I can wash my hair in 24-hours, but I'll wait 72. I think the keratin works better that way. It's something to look forward to. It's been a long spring.
