Brazilian Blowout challenged beauty pros to share their best texture-taming treatment images on Instagram (@brazilian_blowout) for a chance to win a Brazilian Blowout Starter Kit that was complete with all the product and support materials to get them moving and smoothing. They tagged their photos with #BrazilianBlowoutMiracle.
After reviewing nearly 300 images, the team at Brazilian Blowout named Kyle Tuttle (@HairbyKyle1) of the Repose Salon and Spa in Phoenix, AZ as the smoothest operator.

"The product itself is literally a miracle for my clients," says Tuttle, a certified Brazilian Blowout Specialist. "I tell them it is life changing and then after the treatment is complete, they always agree with me. It's incredibly easy to work with and I can feel secure knowing my clients will walk out of the salon looking fabulous. I never have to worry about whether or not it's going to work because it always does, there's no guesswork. For Adele, my client pictured, I took smaller sections to insure even and complete saturation, and that was it. The product does the work for you!”
Congratulations to Kyle and also congrats to the many hairdressers that Instagrammed their beautiful finishes. Everyone wins when the work is good!
