The beautiful half of humanity always takes care of their appearance, and especially their hairstyle. Women try any methods to make their hair thicker, shinier and healthier, from homemade recipes used by our great-grandmothers to modern expensive procedures.

Botox for hair is a procedure that has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. Its name has nothing to do with needles, pricks and injections, but after it is carried out, the hair is rejuvenated, becomes more well-groomed and healthy.

Hair treatment with Botox

This is a fairly new procedure, invented by Arab hairdressers. The healing cocktail itself consists of vitamins and proteins, as well as the intra-silane molecule. This substance swells when combined with water, filling the voids in the hair thread. The procedure is reminiscent of keratinization, but is fundamentally different from it.

• Botox molecules wedge themselves into the hair structure, saturating it with vitamins and proteins.
• Thanks to this, the curl is strengthened not from the outside, but from the inside
• The effect lasts 6 months
• At the same time, you can stop the rapid loss of strands
• After the procedure, the curls are easy to style and retain their shine for a long time.

How long does the result last?

As we found out, owners of curly hair are not prohibited from doing Botox . The effect can be different: from shine and smoothness of hair to complete straightening and restoration. It all depends on:

• Directions for use: hot or cold Botox;
• from the composition of the product itself: the more keratin, the more effectively the product smoothes curls.

The average duration of the effect of Botox is two to three months, it all depends, again, on the product used and the characteristics of your hair.

Pros and cons of Botox for hair

The procedure cannot be considered safe. This primarily concerns damaged scalp. Doctors note that improving your health with Botox can cause the opposite effect and instead of thick hair, you risk going bald. But the percentage of such cases is negligible. Basically, after manipulation, the appearance of the hair is very different from its previous state. They don't split, don't frizz, and are very shiny.

Pros of the procedure:

• Great effect
• Safety
• Easy to use, allowing you to carry out the procedure at home
• Long lasting effect
• Possibility of purchasing the product at the pharmacy

Of course, there are disadvantages:

• High price
• The need to periodically repeat the procedure
• Presence of contraindications

Botox for hair

Advantages and disadvantages

Reviews of Botox for hair vary and many of them are positive. Many who have tried this method of hair restoration have been satisfied: the curls shine with beauty and health, are easy to style, look thick, shiny and moisturized.

The effect of Botox on bleached strands is especially pleasing; the drug neutralizes the unsightly yellow tint to which blondes are so often susceptible. The product is suitable for treating any hair type, but the most noticeable effect will be on dry and damaged hair.

But not everything is so rosy; the drug has many disadvantages, which it is better to know about before the procedure.

• Short duration of action and high cost. The result usually lasts 1-3 months, depending on the condition of the hair, the quality of the Botox preparation and post-treatment care.
• After using the product, it is necessary to reduce the number of hair dyes so that the product does not wash out so quickly. You also cannot do biological or chemical perm.
• Botox for hair does not help if the cause of hair damage is any diseases of the internal organs. The procedure is cosmetic in nature; to treat curls, it is better to first undergo a body examination.

Where is it better to do it - at home or in a salon?

There are products intended for salon use only . In such cases, you definitely need the help of a specialist. Gentle formulations indicate that they can be used at home. Of course, the effect will be much better if a professional gets down to business. However, if you decide to carry out the procedure yourself, keep in mind that the advantage of home kits is ease of use and clear instructions. Such kits usually include:

• preparatory shampoos for maximum cleansing;
• the Botox serum itself;
• fixatives;
• shampoos for further care.

You can buy a drug for hair Botox in specialized stores for hairdressers.

Hair straightening with Botox

Unlike keratin straightening, Botox is not used to straighten curly hair. During the manipulation, the hair is restored and saturated with moisture. Accordingly, unruly and protruding curls become smooth and even. Therefore, many people confuse Botox with alignment. After the manipulation, the curls really straighten.

Procedure:

• Hair is washed with a mild detergent
• Liquid with intra-force molecules is applied to the curls using a syringe.
• It gets into the voids of the hair thread and fills them
• Next, the product from another bottle is applied to the hair - this is the vitamin cocktail itself. It contains vitamins A, E, hyaluronic acid, wheat proteins and proteins
• After this, they may put a cap on your curls and place you under a hairdryer.
• If the curls are in terrible condition and stick out in different directions, a specialist uses a straightening iron to smooth the hairs, sealing the composition inside each thread
• Next, the product is washed off and the hair is dried.

Reviews

Polina, 26 years old:

A couple of months ago I decided to get Botox on my hair. Already at the stage of drying my hair, I was shocked by the result. No, I was not delighted, I was terrified!!! The hair became visually straw-colored, all the protruding clumps of hair became visible, but at the same time it seemed that it was very dirty and greasy... My hair was in such a hellish state except... no, it never was like that, even after bleaching!!! I can’t convey my feelings and emotions at that moment. It was a nightmare!

Elizaveta, 45 years old:

There is no promised shine. And how it seemed to me that even the hair became duller, although the master promised “an unreal, unnatural doll-like shine”... When I asked, she justified herself that the hair was natural and there was no shine... back to the deceptive pictures. In the BEFORE image, the sharpness and contrast are usually increased in order to show what kind of thrill was BEFORE... the photo is taken right where you are sitting. The AFTER photo is taken in high light or with flash and processed accordingly with the necessary filters to enhance the effect. What I end up with: lost money and time, my old favorite Vichy shampoo no longer suits my hair, I’ve now bought another one, my hair gets much more dirty... I have to wash it every day, otherwise it’s just greasy... my hair doesn’t lie straight as promised... the ends still curl... In general, it seems that the tone of my hair has brightened by half a tone... I’m trying to regain my natural shine.

Botox for curly hair, before and after photos

If you want to completely get rid of frizz, then get a keratin straightening treatment. Botox will not completely remove beautiful curls. The product will only smooth out the untidiness of curls and remove flakes of split ends. Accordingly, the product is ideal for girls who love their curly hair, but are not satisfied with dullness and brittleness of their hair.

Who should not do it and why?

Botox is suitable if there are no pustules or wounds on the scalp. But if you have done perm, coloring, highlighting or other procedures with a chemical composition, you need to wait a while with Botox.

The scalp is damaged after exposure to chemical compounds, the strands are dry and there is a risk of losing a lot of moisture and not getting the desired effect, or even causing harm.

Botox is a new procedure, but has already shown and proven its effectiveness for all types of hair. Any girl or woman can do this .

Botox for thin hair, before and after photos

Botox for thin hair is a godsend. Due to the presence of the intra-silane molecule in the composition, an invisible frame is formed on the curls. The molecule from the syringe gets deep into the hair, where it swells, making the hair receptive to nutrients. After applying the vitamin serum, the intra-silane molecule “sucks” the vitamins into the hair. It turns out that the curls become more voluminous and heavier. Hair thickness visually increases.

What to choose for hair: Botox or keratin?

It all depends on the initial state of the curls. The point is that if you want to completely smooth out frizzy hair, choose keratin. With its help you can achieve perfectly smooth hair.

• But if you have beautiful curls or straight hair that lacks shine, use Botox
• During the keratinization process, the curl is enveloped in an invisible film, which “seals” dry and split ends. The effect lasts up to three months. With the help of keratinization, you can completely straighten very curly hair.
• During Botox, the hair is saturated with vitamins from the inside, so the effect lasts from three to six months.

Is it possible to smooth out curly hair?

Botox is a procedure not so much for straightening hair, but for making it healthier. Botox makes hair less frizzy and porous, but does not straighten it.

There are two types of Botox:

1. 
   Cold.

2. Hot.

With the hot method, the hair in the serum is additionally treated with a straightener. This method can easily be called hair straightening; thin curls will become almost perfectly straight strands.

When applied coldly, Botox only heals the hair, making it more structured and heavier, less wavy. It also all depends on the product used. There are gentle means that practically do not straighten the strands, and there are means with a stronger effect that can significantly straighten the curls.

Botox for hair during pregnancy

In general, the product does not contain botulinum toxin or its compounds, so the substance will not cause any harm. But the contraindications indicate that pregnant women should not resort to the procedure. The fact is that intra-silane is not yet a fully studied molecule. Perhaps it penetrates into the body through wounds and microcracks in the skin. Even the slightest foreign compounds can harm the baby. Therefore, it is better to refrain from the procedure.

RESULT.

I am delighted with this procedure and I can say that for some girls whose hair is in a catastrophic state, this is a salvation. It makes hair nourished, moisturized, beautiful and silky. In terms of tactile sensations, it’s absolutely lovely. The hair seemed to have regained vitality, energy and beauty.

I certainly recommend this procedure. Perfect for those with dry and damaged hair, as well as those who just want to maintain length. My hair stopped getting tangled, especially at the ends, where this problem was especially pressing for me. I still have a few more uses left, so I will definitely repeat the procedure if necessary.

How long does hair botox last?

Regarding the duration of action of the substance, the effect usually lasts 3-6 months. It all depends on the frequency of shampooing and the use of other hair care products. It is advisable not to overdry your hair and wash it less often. This way, you will keep the intra-silane molecule inside the hair.

Initially, Botox was an advertising ploy that French women were the first to use on themselves. For some, the effect lasted for only 10 hair washes. Accordingly, if you wash your hair 2 times a week, you will completely negate the effect of the product after 5 weeks.

Well, the most interesting thing is, of course, the RESULT, but is there one? Yes, there is an effect and it is simply UNREAL, I didn’t recognize my hair at all.

Hair care after Botox

Hairdressers do not give any special recommendations after the procedure. But the intra-silane molecule is quite active and changes its structure with frequent drying. From linear it becomes branched, which gives volume to the curls.

• You should not use shampoo containing sodium lauryl sulfate to wash your hair. Read the composition of the detergent, otherwise you will very quickly say goodbye to the effect
• Wash your hair less often and blow dry it
• Try not to use styling products. They are not prohibited. When using them, the effect will quickly disappear
