V&N Blowout: Combining Professional Treatment Care with Frizz and Texture Control
The V&N Blowout is a professional salon menu built around LvPro Premium V Treatment, a treatment that brings damage care, hair strengthening and texture improvement together in one product. By combining it with an acid straightening cream from the same manufacturer, the menu is designed to help manage waviness and spreading while supporting a smooth, glossy and more manageable finish.
This article introduces the two products behind the menu, "V" LvPro Premium V Treatment and "N" LvPro Acid Fiber Straight 01 Natural, along with the basic V:N = 2:1 ratio and the heat-based finish. It is intended for salons considering a new treatment menu.

What Is the V&N Blowout?
The V&N Blowout is a new blowout technique introduced from Japan. It takes a different approach from conventional system treatments and acid-heat treatments, combining the texture-improving action of a treatment with a mild reducing action designed to limit the load on the hair. This allows hair care and frizz and texture control to be carried out in a single service.
The treatment is set within the hair using air oxidation and heat, which keeps the service streamlined while supporting a shiny, more manageable finish.
The key feature of the V&N Blowout is that it does not use the separate second-agent (oxidiser) step normally required. This keeps the service process simple and supports a smoother salon workflow. The menu can also be performed alongside a hair colour service.
Suited to salons such as:
- Salons looking to add a new treatment-based menu
- Salons looking for a frizz and texture control service with a simpler process
The V&N Blowout Products: "V" and "N"
The menu combines two products: "V", a professional treatment that covers damage care through to texture adjustment, and "N", an acid straightening cream that works at the hair's isoelectric point.
"V" LvPro Premium V Treatment 900ml
- Role in the menu: "V" (treatment)
- Content: 900ml
- Key ingredients: Tostea, active keratin
- Colour: Violet treatment
Formulated with ingredients such as Tostea and active keratin, Premium V Treatment brings together functions ranging from damage care to texture adjustment in one product. Its violet pigment helps neutralise yellow tones, while the formula helps smooth out waviness for a soft, velvety feel.
For more on the treatment itself, see LV Pro. Premium V-Treatment: One-Bottle Professional Salon Care.
"N" LvPro 01 Natural 1000ml
- Role in the menu: "N" (acid straightening cream)

- pH: 4.5
- Reducing value (thio conversion): 3.9
- Main reducing agent: CTG (cysteamine thioglycolate)

LvPro Acid Fiber Straight 01 Natural is an acid straightener that works gently at the hair's isoelectric point, suited to medium to highly damaged hair and colour-treated hair. Its main reducing agent, CTG, helps keep lingering odour to a minimum.
Care ingredients such as levulinic acid and Fiberhance help control volume while leaving the hair with a soft, natural and smooth texture.
For more on the straightening system, see LVpro. Acid Fiber Straight.
The Key Is the V:N = 2:1 Ratio, with Heat for the Finish
The recommended basic ratio for the V&N Blowout is V:N = 2:1, which gives a mixture with a pH of 4.1 and a reducing value of 1.3.
- Basic ratio: V:N = 2:1
- pH after mixing: 4.1
- Reducing value after mixing: 1.3
- Total application amount: Short 60g / Medium 90g / Long 120g
- Processing time: From 30 minutes
- Finish: Spray AW78, blow-dry, then flat iron at 180°C
In the finishing step, spray the heat-reactive treatment AW78 (Amazing Water 78 Ultra) and blow-dry, then finish carefully with a flat iron at 180°C to help set the treatment ingredients in the hair.
This step gives the hair body and resilience and helps reduce yellow tones, supporting a longer-lasting shine and a more manageable finish.
For damaged, bleached or high-tone colour-treated hair, LvPro Lasting Keratin Hair Mask may also be used after the V&N mixture has been thoroughly rinsed out.
The conditions above apply specifically to the V&N Blowout and differ from those for using LvPro Premium V Treatment on its own. This article provides an overview rather than a complete technical protocol. Salon professionals should follow the manufacturer’s latest instructions and assess each client’s hair condition before performing the service.
