Things to Know About Hair Botox Treatment

Who needs a Hair Botox?

Everyone would love their hair to look smooth and healthy. Any kind of hair, regardless of the texture, thickness or hair-type can be treated by Botox. The treatment can be a lifesaver for the following categories of hair problems:

• Dry and damaged hair
• Brittle hair
• Coloured, highlighted or bleached hair
• Curled or styled hair
• Frizzy hair
• Split ends
• Hair with less volume
• Dehydrated hair
• Dull- looking hair

These hair worries need special attention and care that can be given by a Botox treatment which is considered safe for all types of hair.

How is Botox Hair treatment done?

Botox treatment fills the hair with the proteins and active ingredients like Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Argan oil, Coconut oil, Collagen Complex, Glyoxylic acid, and Amino acids. Unlike the face Botox treatment, Hair Botox does not inject the toxin Botulinum into the hair; instead, a protein-rich conditioning agent is applied on the hair.
The treatment begins by washing the hair with a clarifying shampoo and opening the hair cuticles to prepare the locks of hair for conditioning. The Botox cream is then applied and massaged on the hair from roots to tips. The hair is left as such for about 30 minutes to 90 minutes. It is then blow-dried and straightened to help the product penetrate the hair strands. A smooth, straight and frizz-free hair is obtained and the result is immediately visible

Benefits of Hair Botox

By filling the pores in your hair strands, Hair Botox enhances the natural hair. It repairs any tears on your hair and makes it healthier, shinier and more beautiful. Frizziness and split-ends become myths after the treatment. Hair Botox protects your hair against dandruff, psoriasis and other scalp conditions. It also reduces hair loss and makes your hair look fuller and thick.

Side effects of Hair Botox treatment

Due to the absence of any harmful chemicals or toxins, the Botox Treatment gives no side-effects. The common smoothening and straightening creams have formaldehyde and parabens whose overexposures can lead to cancer. Botox is free of formaldehyde and parabens. However, professionals do not advise Botox treatment to be done more than three or four times a year. This would result in breakage, dullness and thinning of hair.

To make sure that you are not allergic to the ingredients of the treatment, make sure you do a patch test with a small amount of the product. To reduce the risks of skin irritation, it must be ensured that the treatment does not come in direct contact with your skin. Hair Botox is considered safer as it is less harsh than any other hair treatments.

How Long Does Hair Botox Last?

The effects of Hair Botox depend upon the person. Normally it lasts between 2 to 4 months. The treatment is redone afterwards. The treatment can be made to last longer by following certain precautions.

• Washing the hair soon after the treatment can get rid of the proteins from the treatment. Hair must be washed only after 72 hours. Reducing the number of hair washes gives a long-lasting effect.
• Do not style your hair just after the treatment. Hair must be left loose. Clips, buns or bands must not be used during this period.
• Use shampoos that are Sulfate-free and Sodium Chloride-free.
• A pH-balanced shampoo will help to keep the hair cuticles closed.
• Use conditioners with hydrolyzed proteins, plant extracts, and natural seed oils.
• Saltwater and chlorine water can easily damage your Botox hair.
• A deep hydration mask would help to rehydrate and moisturise your hair.

Botox Hair treatment strengthens the hair and improves its appearance. It gives more beautiful hair free of any damages. The treatment restores the fullness and elasticity which is lost as the hair ages. It gives a hair manageable to brush and a hair which is so soft that it slips through your fingers
