Magic Sleek vs Brazilian Blowout vs Taninoplastia: Which Smoothing Treatment Is Right for You?
Frizz, dryness, and unmanageable texture are some of the most common concerns I see in the salon. With so many smoothing systems available today—including Magic Sleek, Brazilian Blowout, and Taninoplastia—it can be hard to know which treatment truly fits your hair type and lifestyle.
As a certified smoothing specialist in NYC, I offer multiple professional treatments to customize the level of straightening, smoothing, and shine you want. This guide breaks down each treatment so you can confidently choose the best option for your hair.
Magic Sleek
Magic Sleek is one of the most advanced and popular smoothing treatments because it is completely formaldehyde-free while still offering strong straightening results.
- Best for: frizzy, unruly, resistant curls
- Results: very sleek, shiny, smooth, straighter finish
- Longevity: 4–6 months
- Strength: Very strong straightening power
- Wash hair: Same day
- Smell/Fumes: Minimal
Why choose Magic Sleek? You want chemical-free straightening, maximum smoothness, long-lasting frizz control, and sleek results.
Brazilian Blowout Original
The Brazilian Blowout is a classic, well-known smoothing treatment that creates a glossy, soft finish while maintaining natural movement and some volume.
- Best for: frizz, dryness, dull hair
- Results: glossy, smooth, soft—not pin-straight
- Longevity: 3–4 months
- Strength: Moderate smoothing
- Wash hair: Same day
Why choose Brazilian Blowout? You want shine, manageability, and frizz control without losing your natural waves or curl definition.
Taninoplastia
Taninoplastia is an organic, chemical-free smoothing treatment that uses plant-based tannins to reduce frizz, hydrate the hair, and soften texture.
- Best for: wavy hair, dry hair, clients who prefer natural treatments
- Results: soft, natural smoothing—not overly straight
- Longevity: 3–4 months
- Strength: Light-to-medium smoothing
Why choose Taninoplastia? You want organic, gentle smoothing that enhances shine and softness without strong chemicals.
