<p> Brazilian Blowout uses a plant-based amino acid as its active ingredient. There is absolutely no keratin found in Brazilian Blowout. Because of this, the protein that is used can over proteinize the hair over time with will make it feel dry and brittle. You can avoid these side effects by using proper products at home or doing bond rebuilding treatments like Olaplex and B3. Because of the amino acid that is used it’s also a much larger molecule than keratin, so it cannot penetrate deeper into the hair than the first level which will only act as a top coat around the hair and will wash off much faster than a keratin based treatment.
