About the London Brush

What is it?

The London brush is a name that has already become quite popular in beauty salons, but the truth is that this term is often misused.

The term refers to the famous London product brand, a brand that brings product lines for straightening and progressive brushes. Thus, the term London brush emerged as a reference to the straightening of wires made with products from the London Cosméticos brand.

With the popularization of the treatment, many other brands launched products that also smoothed the hair and started to use the term London brush or english brush, as a reference to this type of straightening, so the term became well known in salons and by fans of straightened hair.

 

How it works?

The London treatment is a type of straightening for locks, which goes far beyond leaving the hair straight, but which mixes progressive brushing with wire shielding.

When carrying out a procedure to straighten the hair, the question about the durability of the smooth effect is common, and in the case of the London procedure, it is common to have the smooth effect lasting from 2 to 4 months.
