You’ve just walked out of the salon with silky, smooth, frizz-free hair — thanks to your Brazilian Gold Treatment. But to keep that salon-perfect shine for weeks to come, the secret lies in how you care for your hair afterward. Whether you’re a first-timer or a loyal fan of Brazilian Gold, these 5 aftercare hacks will help you make the most of your treatment.
1. Switch to a Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner
Sulfates are the number-one enemy of keratin and smoothing treatments. They strip away the protective coating that Brazilian Gold creates, causing your hair to lose its smoothness and shine faster.
Hack: Use a sulfate- and sodium-chloride-free shampoo and conditioner — ideally from the Brazilian Gold home care range or any keratin-safe system. These products gently cleanse while maintaining your hair’s sleek, nourished texture.
2. Avoid Washing Too Soon
After your treatment, give your hair time to settle. Washing too early can interfere with the bonding process, reducing the longevity of your results.
Hack: Wait at least 48–72 hours before your first wash. If your hair accidentally gets wet, use a blow-dryer on a low heat setting and run a straightener gently through your strands to reactivate the treatment.
3. Ditch Tight Hairstyles
For the first few days post-treatment, your hair is in its most flexible state. Tying it up tightly can cause dents or bends that are difficult to remove.
Hack: Keep your hair loose and straight. If you need to tie it back, use a soft silk scrunchie or satin scarf to avoid creases and breakage.
4. Protect Your Hair from Heat and Humidity
While Brazilian Gold gives you long-lasting frizz control, heat styling and humid weather can still affect your results over time.
Hack: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using styling tools and a leave-in anti-frizz serum when heading outdoors. This keeps your hair sealed, smooth, and shielded against moisture.
5. Deep Condition Weekly
Healthy hair holds onto smoothness better. Regular conditioning treatments help nourish and repair your strands, keeping your Brazilian Gold results glossy and vibrant.
Hack: Use a keratin-enriched hair mask once a week. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes to deeply hydrate your hair and restore softness and shine.
Bonus Tip: Sleep Smart
Switch to a silk pillowcase! It minimizes friction while you sleep, so you wake up with smoother, shinier hair that doesn’t need as much styling in the morning.
Keep the Glow Going
With the right care routine, your Brazilian Gold treatment can last up to 12 weeks or longer. Remember — it’s not just about maintaining smoothness; it’s about keeping your hair healthy and radiant between salon visits.
