About the L'Oreal brand
The French company L'Oreal has been producing high-quality cosmetic products for many years and is recognized as one of the largest manufacturers in this segment. The range of products is extensive, but special attention is paid to hair products. It was in this direction that the company began its activities.
Special attention is paid to the development of new products. Various formulas and compositions are carefully selected and tested. The successful combination of safety and effectiveness is the primary goal of laboratory research. The basic position laid down by the founder of the need to combine precision chemistry with “folk recipes” brought many valuable discoveries.
One such product is fiberceutic . In our country, the product is known as hair Botox, although it has nothing in common directly with botulinum toxin. The name of the drug is literally translated as “beauty injections.” There is no need to inject anything under the skin using a syringe. The product works on the surface of the hair, but taking into account consumer reviews, the result is really equivalent to an injection.
Loreal hair Botox is appreciated by many hairdressers. The effect of the procedure is noticeable already during the first application. The curls become soft and manageable. Each subsequent manipulation maintains the state.

Please note that most experts call addiction to the drug the only noticeable drawback. After 3-5 procedures, the hair requires a new portion of Botox, drying out and becoming tangled when the product is washed out.

- You can blow dry your hair using cold or hot air. At the end, you can proceed to styling.
Loreal Absolut Repair Restoration
The problem of damaged, thin hair with split ends that has lost its shine and vitality is, unfortunately, familiar to many women. Ecology, stress, overwork, poor lifestyle and hard physical labor are sometimes decisive factors in this situation. Everyday attempts to turn your hair into something beautiful and attractive, using numerous styling products and thermal devices, only harm the health of your hair.
Using the latest advances, as well as innovative systems for restoring severely damaged hair, the company has created a separate series of professional loreal absolut repair products. It includes products not only for salon use, but also for home use. Special restorative masks, shampoos and conditioners carefully smooth out hair scales, strengthen and fill their porous structure with special intercellular cement. Restoring cream care smoothes hair, nourishes it from the inside, does not weigh it down and is easily washed off. Light, non-greasy serum for damaged hair is recommended as a product during styling. It is quickly applied to damp hair and actively restores split ends. All products in this series are developed taking into account the characteristics of damaged hair: sensitivity, hydrolipid balance, deficiency of vitamins, microelements and nutrients. The secret of Absolut Repair products lies in the unique complex effect at the cellular level thanks to Lactic Acid technology. A high concentration of nutrients not only gently cleanses damaged hair without damaging it, but also actively restores the structure from roots to ends. After the first use, the hair literally comes to life before our eyes, acquires softness, becomes silky and well-groomed.

The products of the Expert Series L'Oreal Absolute are designed to restore the hair cortex and its shaft, protect from external influences, therefore this product is recommended for very weakened and damaged hair.
Result from the procedure
After Botox from L'Oreal, strands become elastic, shiny and smooth . But in order for them to remain in this form for as long as possible, the following care recommendations must be followed:
- Cleanse strands with a mild shampoo. It is not recommended to use a deep cleaning product for this.
- Protect hair from sudden changes in temperature, intense sun, wind and rain.
- Regularly use masks with a moisturizing effect.
Experts at L'Oreal claim that the effect of Botox will begin to disappear only after 10 shampooing procedures.
How does it work on hair?
The effect of the drug is associated with the action of the Intra-Silane molecule. It is able to integrate into the keratin of the hair and stay there for quite a long time. When wet, the molecule branches, and when it subsequently dries, it hardens in this form. This reaction helps create a frame for the hair shaft and support it. The curls are straightened, the composition is evened out.
The action of Intra-Silan is in many ways similar to true Botox. Molecules, penetrating into the structure along with other useful components (vitamins, acids, oils, extracts), enable them to stay longer in the thickness of the hair. Curls receive additional nutrition for a long time.
The use of the drug is indicated for thin, sparse, weakened, damaged hair. After the Botox procedure, hair becomes silky, smooth, and shiny. The curls are strong, elastic, obedient, flowing. There is a moderate weighting of the hair. The hair becomes protected from negative external influences, volume appears, and the split ends disappear. Polishing your hair will help you deal with split ends and weak ends. Find out more about the procedure on our website.
The result of the procedure is noticeable immediately and lasts up to 1.5–2 months (depending on the frequency of washing your hair). After using the shampoo 10 times, the manipulation should be repeated. A second procedure is usually recommended after 2-4 weeks, and then as the product is washed off.
Botox for hair is harmless and has no significant contraindications (except for individual intolerance to the components of the composition). The procedure is not recommended for children, pregnant and lactating women. The scalp should not be irritated or damaged. Use with caution for elderly people and people with allergies.

The procedure can be carried out immediately after chemical treatments on the hair, although most salon procedures require a time limit of 1–2 weeks. You can use Botox for hair more than once without limiting the number of procedures.

Reviews from girls
In this section of the article, consider the topic - Botox for hair reviews.
Alexandra Ilchenkova ... I also had wild problems with my hair, I tried to cope on my own for a long time, nothing worked, although I took all sorts of vitamins, bought a bunch of masks and even took products in ampoules in salons - nothing helped. And there was hair loss, dry scalp, dry hair, terribly split. So I first treated my hair, I went to the trichologist-cosmetologist A.M. Parfenov. And then they did Botox on my hair, I like it, quite a lot of time has passed since the procedure, my hair is smooth and seems to have become heavier)

I tried hair botox after another experiment with hair color. I really liked it! The hair is smooth, manageable and shiny, looking very expensive and impressive. Almost 2 months have passed since the procedure, and the product is still in place. After the composition is washed off, I will definitely go again!
I’ve been wondering for a long time what kind of hair botox this is. A bunch of reviews on the Internet and advertising promises intrigued me. But the price didn't suit me. In our city, this pleasure would cost about 3,000 rubles for shoulder-length hair. Then I started looking on the Internet for information about whether I could use the products at home myself. It turned out that yes! I ordered a hair restoration kit for myself, after receiving the parcel I studied the instructions in detail and got started. After the procedure was completed, I was very surprised by my hair: it shimmered with such a dazzling shine, as if from the cover of a magazine. I liked the effect, but it didn’t last long, only 3-4 weeks. There is still some product left, so next time I will use it before an event.
I tried Botox and saw absolutely no effect. The hair has become a little softer, but it still splits and splits, still dry and lifeless. Although I tried to make it at home, and I am not a professional at all. Perhaps I did something wrong when using the product.

What effect does it have?
The procedure has a number of positive effects. Its main beneficial properties:
- nourishes and strengthens hair;
- reduces hair fragility;
- gives hair shine;
- “seals” split ends;
- makes hair more manageable;
- reduces the amount of hair falling out (due to fragility);
- accelerates hair growth;
- strengthens the hair follicle;
- facilitates the process of hairstyle formation.
Many people mistakenly believe that Botox straightens the hair; in fact, these compositions only slightly streamline the hair and it stops being “frizzy.” And for straightening curly hair, lamination is best suited.
Tips for choosing
To make the right choice in favor of one Botox or another, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with several tips from specialists and users:
- When purchasing, first of all pay attention to contraindications. This will help avoid unpleasant surprises during the procedure.
- Decide on the effect you would like to get from using Botox.
- When choosing between several products, rely on the retention time of the result after the procedure. For some it can be up to 6 months.
- The composition requires a lot of attention. It is important that it does not contain harmful chemicals that can worsen the condition of the hair and damage its structure.
- A big plus will be the ability to protect hair from sunlight and other negative environmental factors.
