What Is The Difference Between Japanese Yuko and Brazilian Hair Blow-Dry?

Both of these treatments Japanese Yuko and Brazilian hair straightening have similar results: straighten hair, reduce frizz, add shine and seal in colour.

However, there are several benefits to either hair treatment but what exactly is the difference between the two, and why would you need to choose between them when they do pretty much the same job? Well, here is your answer!

WHAT IS YUKO JAPANESE HAIR STRAIGHTENING?

 

Yuko is a Japanese technique created by hair expert Yoko Yamashita, designed with the use of thermal reconditioning. A solution coats your hair that is specially formulated to make your usually frizzy and curly hair permanently straight! Your hair is then rinsed from this solution and then parted into sections and ironed out.

Depending on your hair type, the procedure can take a couple of hours for your hair to absorb the solution and benefit from the mixture sufficiently. Once your hair is dry, you will find your hair is entirely straight, unlike the Brazilian treatment. Yuko changes the inner structure of your hair, and it is recommended to be used on strong hair as this method is permanent.

The Yuko treatment will combat unwanted curly, frizzy hair up to six months when your natural hair grows out from your roots. Until then, you will not have to bother with hair straighteners each morning to calm your locks (remember not to wash your hair for 72 hours after you get Yuko)!

WHAT IS BRAZILIAN KERATIN BLOW DRY TREATMENT?

 

The Brazilian treatment uses the natural ingredient Keratin, which you can already find in your hair! Keratin is a protein that our bodies produce to make our hair, nails and skin healthy, that is why the Brazilian Blowout (aka Keratin Treatment) is beneficial for weaker hair.

 

Unlike with Yuko, Keratin treated hair does not leave your hair permanently straight. Your hair is ironed out into a natural, smooth wave, which makes it much easier to straighten than if you didn’t have the treatment. This method only affects the outer layer of your strands of hair.  With a Brazilian blow-dry, your hair looks and feels healthier while staying straight for up to four months.

STILL NOT SURE WHICH TREATMENT IS FOR YOU?

 

If you are still not sure and need more information to make a decision which straitening treatment is best for your hair it is important to receive a consultation from your hairstylist to make sure that you are choosing the correct remedy for your frizzy, curly and untamed locks!
