The 12 Week Blow Dry

    Has anyone had this done/know of someone who's had it done. I heard Mairead Farrell talking about it on the Ray D'arcy show this morning, she'd been in for the initial treatment yesterday. Basically it's a completely natural, super conditioning treatment that means you don't have to spend ages blowdrying and straightening your hair. No need for 15 brushes and heated rollers. Just a quick blast and you look like you've just stepped out of the hairdressers. AND it lasts for 12 weeks.

    To be honest, it sounds too good to be true. It also costs between €200 and €300. The only place in Ireland you can get it done is Dylan Bradshaws.

    I'd be very, very tempted but would love to hear someone else's experience first.

    There's more info on the dylan bradshaw website.

    Hi op,

    wow thats interesting. hadnt heard of it.

    its pricey, although would be sooo worth it if it works of course :)

    so you basically wash your hair and dry it and its supposed to stay like this!?!?

    Ya but some sort of straightening chemicals have been put in so that's why it lasts. I've read about it before in UK glossy magazines and it sounds fantasic.

    i know a girl who got that done, but it was like a perm lotion they used, then strraightened her hair. it worked as she would normally have frizzy hair, but it grows out, and its not good for the condition of your hair

    This is what I'd be worried about, they say that they just put a load of keratin in your hair which is supposed to be super conditioning. I was under the impression that this helps keep it straight by making it 'silkier'. Like I said, sounds too good to be true! There must be chemicals in there somewhere...though they claim it's 100% natural.

    I don't know if what your friend had done was this, or chemical straightening. I wouldn't touch chemical straightening with a barge pole. But then maybe this is just the same thing with some snazzy marketing....!

    They do say that it only lasts for 2-4 months, not bad though imo.

    That said, I wonder is it any worse for your hair than constant straightening/blow drying....

    I'm going to wait to see how Mairead finds it, if I get it done I'll post here again and let you know the results.:eek:

    Why's it called the 12 week blow dry when it's for keeping your hair straight?? Or am I missing something :D I have naturally insanely straight hair, but blow dry mine to give it volume, could it do that for me??

    I think it's called the 12 week blow dry as you look like you've had a salon blow dry every day for 12 weeks. Also, if you get caught out in the rain or you've been swimming, all you need to do is give it a blast of a hairdryer to get it back to all it's sleek glory! From the look of the photos on the Dylan Bradshaw website it doesn't seem to give much volume. You can, however, still style it curly, wavy etc.

    God I sound like I'm plugging this, I just really want it to be true!

    After all that, I've missed the Ray D'arcy show this morning :( Did anyone hear it and what Mairead's opinion was?!

    I am getting the brazilian blowdry done in London in a few weeks time. Have an aunt who gets it done in Covent Garden and swears by it. Her hair is in better condition now due to the keratin used. Can't wait but not looking forward to the four days of not being able to wash, tie up or even put hair behind ears. Greasemonkey!:p

    Will post results afterwards.

    I got the 12 week blow dry done in Daniel Bradshaws on Saturday. Overall opinion - very happy with it - still unsure if it was worth the money though.

    I think the most important thing to know
    is that this is NOT a straigtening treatment.It's really more of a conditioning treament than anything else - but an extremely good one :)


    I have now washed my hair twice since the treatment. I was told that it was only after the third wash that I would see the full
    results.

    My hair was originally wirey, wavy - with weird half curls at the ends. I
    used to spend about 20 minutes with my straightener each morning. Now, I do need to use a brush to straighten
    out the ends - but I can now blow dry my hair in less than 10 minutes, it holds all day - and people are commenting
    on how healthy my hair looks. It's so soft to touch - amazing.

    It is very expensive though - mine cost 250 Euro. I will decide if it's worth the money based on: 1) what it looks like when it dries naturally 2) what it looks like when i try to dry it curly (it always curled - but they were frizzy curls that didn't look nice) 3) How long it lasts.

    Going to try drying naturally and curling it at the weekend so I'll report back!

    I just heard about this today and WOW if it works, I am definitely getting it. I've every type of hair texture going, frizzy, curly, straight, fuzz...so getting it to dry in any way is a nightmare!!

    My hair does grow quite fast though so I wonder would it last the full 12 weeks...like would the roots start going a bit funky?


    Edit:
    Hmm just read this...

    http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/beauty/article4662958.ece
    I’m not afraid to admit I’m as susceptible to beauty mistakes as the next person — or that there have been some pretty comical ones. At school, for example, a DIY home hair-mask recipe caused me inadvertantly to scramble an egg on my head (I didn’t get the importance of rinsing with lukewarm water).

    A couple of vigorous washes was all it took to correct, but had I had to live for weeks instead of hours with the sulphurous smell it left behind, I would really have rued the day I experimented with my beauty routine. And that is where more durable treatments can fall down. Regular readers may remember me writing about the Daniel Hersheson permanent blow-dry treatment a couple of months back. At the time, the thought of being able to wash and (immediately) wear my usually wavy/frizzy hair without having to smooth out various sections with the hairdryer convinced me to give it a whirl. For the first couple of weeks I was glad I had. I could merrily skip out of the shower, dress and move straight onto make-up without any tiresome blow-drying. My hair didn’t exactly look blow-dried in that swingy way it should, but it was definitely less unruly.

    I feel it only right, however, to give an update now that it has had a chance to settle. The fact is that, while the treatment contains conditioning clays, there’s no denying the fact that it is a chemical process and, hence, not especially good for the hair. The frizz is still somewhat tamed, but my hair is now also permanently lank and unable to last more than a day without feeling coated in a tacky residue. I’m not alone in my disappointment. A colleague tried it and found that the only effect it had on her hair was to exacerbate her frizz, and some hairdressers I have consulted have seen clients who have tried the procedure and been similarly disappointed.

    On the plus side, I’ve discovered some great reconditioning products — a dose of Kérastase Forcintense (£24; 0800 316 4400) after each wash and Real Base Conditioning Haircare Mist (£17; realhair.co.uk) really help infuse moisture back in. And, as with a bad cut, it is only a matter of time before it grows out. Plus, the human guinea pig aspect of this job does require me to take the rough with the smooth — so hopefully you don’t have to.

    @lubie76 It was LASHING rain on Saturday when I came out of the salon - I look like a freak holding the unbrella ON my head :) Total ngithmare but don't think it did too much damage. It's not like the chemical treatments where the water reacts with the chemical and burns your hair off - I think the concern with getting it wet is that the hair won't be able to soak up as much of the product. You also can't put it behind your ears while you have the product in :( It doesn't look that bad though. I had to come to work with it in - and before I was worried that I'd have loads of goo dripping from my hair - but it looks fine - I did a quick go over it with the hairdryer before work (the stylest said that would be fine) and it was fine.

    @Yenwod I also had the concern about re-growth but apparently that's not an issue. The product spreads itself the lenght of the hair - even when it grows. It just washes out gradually - apparently. You are adviced to use a low sodium shampoo though to help keep the product from washing out too quickly - so that's extra cost.

    The product apparently has zero chemicals in it - totally natural made up of mainly Keratin.
    As I said - it doesn't straighten. The girl beside me in the salon had a huge head of curls - and she was being told that the shape of her curl would not be effected - they'd just be much sleaker. And the biggest advantage for me - you can get caught out in the rain (like this morning) and your hair doesn't turn into a total fuzz ball :) I'm finding new advantages every day :)

    Oh the blissful innocence that can only come from one who has naturally straight hair...

    for us frizzy babes, a blow dry is not solely to dry wet hair but to painstakingly coax it into some semblance of tameness, followed by hair straighteners to achieve the look that you, you lucky thing, fall out of bed with (seethes with jealousy :cool:)

    BTW it seems a lot of us here have the same problem with unruly hair. Not only is it bad for your hair to blow dry it everyday but it's also time consuming. I would love to leave my hair dry naturally but it just looks crazy when I do. I don't mind the waves / curls but the frizz is very unsightly.

    The above article mentions 'Kérastase Forcintense (£24; 0800 316 4400) after each wash and Real Base Conditioning Haircare Mist (£17; realhair.co.uk)'.

    Has anyone tried either of these or know of any leave in or deep conditioning products that ACTUALLY WORK in reducing frizz? I'd be prepared to spend a bit of money on them if I thought they would actually give me frizz free hair.

    I've tried Frizz Ease and found it really hard to get the right amount on the hair, too much and it just looked oily, too little and it had no effect! Also have tried various leave in conditioners and while the hair felt soft it still looked very fluffy :confused:

    As promised, I'm reporting back on my experience of the keratin straightening system which I got done at the weekend. I decided to get it done because I have thick coarse bobbed hair that takes ages to dry, straighten etc. It isn't curly though just more frizzy and lots of it.

    The first thing the hairdresser told me was that there is no chemicals in the treatment just protein and also I would still need to blowdry my hair but just not section it bit by bit. Hair looked good after treatment which took a good two hours but no different than a great blowdry by any good hairdresser. It cost 140 pounds sterling which sounds cheaper than Dublin but would have been more expensive had it been longer. Also had to buy keratin shampoo and conditioner as seemingly the ph of normal shampoos conditioners is too harsh and would strip the treatment. Couldn't tie it up, get it wet, wear a hat etc for 3 days as it would kink the hair.

    Couldn't wait to wash it myself to see how it turned out and decided to give it a very quick rough blowdry just to test how good it would look. Turned out looking like I had spent ages drying it. Not quite as good as a salon blowdry but definitely better than one I could do myself if I spent a good bit of time on it. Didn't straighten with a GHD either just to see how it would look the next day when it had relaxed a bit and am very happy with it. Very straight and silky. Obviously not poker straight as I didn't put any effort into it but reckon with a GHD it would be. Would only use a GHD if I was going out now whereas I would have needed one every time I washed it before.

    Overall very happy with treatment and the thought of not having to spend all that time on my hair for the next 3 months fills me with joy. Have plenty of weddings and hen parties over the Summer for which I normally get a blowdry anyway for so I reckon I would have it paid back easy by September.:)

    hi there, i'm having the treatment done very soon. it's a completely natural product called kerotin which is the base of all our skin, hair and nails. people seem to think it's only for straight hair but i've been told it'll just make your hair easier to manage, straight or wavy. i'm having it done in toni and guy in blackrock and it only costs 150euros for shortish hair. you can read how i get on stylebible.ie as will be writing article about my experience.

    hi all
    i got the 12 wk blow dry done about 4 weeks ago in dublin, dylan bradshaw, really thrilled with it. like a lot of the previous posters, i have mad curly hair. uncontrollable. straightens well in a hair salon, but then im running in between wet, drizzle, humidity etc. hat in bag 24/7.
    NOW i can manage my hair, curl is softer so i can go curly and not look like shirley temple on steroids. i can even blow dry the fringe myself without it going totally frizzy.
    i will definitely be returning when it needs to be redone.:)

    Hiya

    Why are you blow drying your hair every day? I have long frizz-prone wavy hair but tend to wash and tie in a knot or plait for work. I used to blow dry it the whole time, but it really damages and weakens your hair.

    These days, I leave it be for weekdays, and only take out the ghd generally once a week, if even that. I've been trying to find ways of letting it be more natural. If your hair is long, maybe try styling with hair clips, frizz-ease and so on.

    It's just such a hassle to go on holiday and have to give your hair so much time. Especially with a very impatient other half in tow!!;)

    By the way, I had beautifully straight hair until I hit 23 or so! My sister is the exact same. Strange how the temperment of hair can change!

    And the fashions. When I was in my teens straight hair was the dullest thing imaginable, everybody wanted waves or curls. It will be back to this in 2 years I guess when everybody goes through 3 ghds and swears not to buy any more.

    2007-2009 is all straightened hair and smokey eye clones. What's next?

    I had the 12 week blowdry done at Dylan Bradshaw last Friday and am so far happy with the results.
    The process took about 2 hours and was a pleasant experience, I was given plenty of information on what the process involves and what it does not do, i.e. it is a non damaging conditioning treatment that washes out after about 12 weeks and is not a straigtening process.
    On leaving the salon my hair felt heavy and greasy but apart from being a bit flat and lifeless it looked ok. I was informed this was to be expected and that when I washed it the normal bounce would return.
    I was advised to leave the product in until Tuesday if possible and not to tie it back or put behind ears etc, however by Monday morning my hair was so greasy I felt I couldn't possibly go to work like that and I washed it out.
    The result was shiney maneagable hair which literally only took a couple of minutes to blowdy straight. It is flater than I would like but so much better than the frizzy unmanagable hair I am accoustomed to.
    All in all I am happy with the results so far and worth the quite considerable price tag!

    Hi

    I got the 12 week blowdry natural straigntening treatment done on my hair in a new salon in Mayo last weekend. I absolutely love the results! :) My hair feels so soft and healthy and has never looked in better shape. My hair is natually very thick and can be so unruley but since I've had the treatment done, it has been poker straight. It's being so easy to dry too.

    Not only is it easy on my hair, but also on my pocket! :D My treatment was only 120 euro and I have ALOT of hair! Definitely alot cheaper than those expensive prices in Dublin. :eek: I would highly recommend it to everyone. The salon is called The Styling Room and is based in Shrule, Co Mayo. The staff are lovely and very professional. I'll definitely be returning for my next treatment.

    If anyone needs the number, just PM me. :cool:

    Just to let some of you know this product is not always chemical free. make sure you ask if the salon is using the formaldehyde free version. They are also available in 2% and 4%.

    The formaldehyde free only works up to 80% on most clients. The 2% will work up to 95%, the 4% is only really used on afro hair.

    The salon should have the shampoo and condition for you to use. They recommend that you use ones that are Sodium chloride and Sodium Laureth free.

    Thanks Shello... is ur hair very long? Does the price depend on the lenght of the hair? Barrys on shop st in galway do it now as well but dont know the price...they charge €50 to cut your hair so can imagine it would be as cheap as Mayo.

    might be getting it done in shrule!!

    TillyGirl, My hair would be medium to long in length. How long would yours be? You should definitely get it done in the salon in Shrule, I was very happy with my results :D
