At Muse Hair Studio in Powell, Ohio, we always prioritize your health, safety, and the integrity of your hair. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Brazilian Blowout has launched a new formaldehyde-free formula—a major step forward in clean beauty and salon safety.
Whether you’re a loyal Brazilian Blowout client or you’ve been curious about trying it, here’s what the updated formula means for your hair and your salon experience.
Why the Formula Changed
Brazilian Blowout has long been known for its ability to smooth, soften, and tame frizz with dramatic, long-lasting results. However, the original formula included trace amounts of formaldehyde—a preservative that raised safety concerns for both clients and stylists.
The new formula is 100% free of formaldehyde and other aldehydes, making it a healthier choice for everyone in the salon environment.
What’s Different – The Pros and the Considerations
While the updated formula brings many benefits, there are a few key changes to keep in mind:
✅ Healthier & Cleaner This version eliminates harsh fumes and reduces irritation during the service, making it a more comfortable experience in the chair.
✅ Gentle on the Hair It’s safer for chemically treated, fine, or fragile hair types that may not have tolerated the original formula.
⚠️ May Fade Color We want to be transparent: the new formula can cause some color fading, especially in vivid, fashion, or freshly colored hair. We recommend scheduling your smoothing treatment before your color service—or discussing a color-refresh plan with your stylist.
⚠️ Lingering Odor in the Shower Some clients have reported a mild odor that can be noticeable when shampooing for the first few washes after the treatment. While this is temporary and not harmful, it’s something to be aware of.
✨ Smoothing Still Happens—With a Softer Touch The new formula still delivers up to 12 weeks of smoother, shinier, more manageable hair. However, the smoothing and curl-reducing effects may be slightly less intense than the original, especially on course or highly textured hair types.
Updated Application, Same Personalized Care
The updated Application does require more time in the salon at the time of the service.
