It is very important for women to have beautiful, well-groomed and healthy hair. The beauty industry never ceases to develop and offer its consumers all kinds of new products. Lamination with the Botox effect Concept is a new product in hair care from the Russian cosmetics company.
The procedure gives instant results, namely: fills damaged texture, deeply nourishes, regenerates, smoothes, increases elasticity and firmness, promotes rejuvenation, strengthening and thickening of the hair structure. Needless to say, for the sake of such an effect, girls are willing to spend time and money on beauty salons and hairdressers, where a specialist will help perform such a procedure.
What is it and what is its principle of operation?
There is no Botox as such in the drug, there are only its derivatives, but the effect, similar to beauty injections, is ensured thanks to a specially developed complex of useful substances.
Among them:
keratin is the main building material for the scalp;- sodium hyaluronate is a natural polysaccharide with a broad spectrum of action;
- panthenol – a derivative of pantothenic acid, an active participant in carbohydrate and fat metabolism of tissues;
- collagen is a fibrillar protein, the basis of connective tissue, ensuring its elasticity;
- vegetable oils – caring and softening;
- peptides – combinations of amino acids necessary for cell rejuvenation;
- vitamins - help improve hair structure.
The components activate hair growth, give it strength and shine, protect it from the inside and outside.
Types of hair lamination
Molecular and cuticular glossing
It is the coloring of curls with a special Elumen product. Due to the charged molecules in the composition, the dyes penetrate deeper into the hair and the new shade lasts longer. Price: from 1500 to 2600 rubles.
It involves improving hairstyles using special products enriched with extracts from bamboo stems, lavender, soy, almonds, corn and keratin. At the same time, not only the curls, but also the scalp are healed. After cauterization, the hair becomes smooth, shiny, silky and strong.
Goldwell Nectarization
The Goldwell brand offers innovative patented coloring products - the Nectaya series. After nectaring, the hairstyle not only acquires a rich shade (up to complete coverage of gray hair and lightening by several levels), but also becomes more durable, elastic, and smooth. Nectaya does not contain ammonia, is enriched with organic argan oil, and consists of 92% natural ingredients.
Contents of the set from Concept
Since the procedure consists of three phases - hot, cold and final, the kit includes three drugs.
- Hot step - a regenerating hair product based on Keratin and Prospin™ opens the scales of the hair shaft and penetrates into the hair structure, filling damaged areas, and the warming effect ensures deeper penetration of particles into the hair structure.
This way the hair is straightened and restored from the inside. The basis of Step 1 Hot is a patented preparation KERATIN + PROSPIN™, it has a therapeutic effect due to the content of keratin and vitamins that have an antioxidant effect. Keratin is the substance that human hair is made of, and in the composition of this drug this element promotes the natural regeneration of the hair structure, filling in damaged areas. Cysteine in the composition of the drug in combination with peptides protects hair from external influences. - Cold step , a preparation for the second stage of the procedure, is an astringent and restorative agent that smoothes the hair structure and closes the keratin scales, already saturated with beneficial substances. The myristates in the product soften hair, and fruit acids add shine.
- Concept after coloring hair cream moisturizes, nourishes, conditions and smoothes the surface of the hair, as well as structures its surface and facilitates subsequent styling, which can be started immediately after the procedure. This product works as a conditioner and contains special oils and vitamins.
To achieve the expected effect, it is necessary to strictly follow the sequence of steps, since individually each component does not have a significant effect.
Concept system
Lamination using the Concept Botox effect is a restorative complex consisting of three main components - the hot cycle of the process, the cold part and the final one. Manufacturers, after the action of Keratin and Prospin included in the complex, promise:
- increase in volume;
- healthy and unsplit ends;
- moisturized and shiny curls.
Botox under the Concept program works for about a month. Constant use of the procedure restores the structure and shaft of damaged hair.
Lamination stages
- Hot stage. Curls are restored using the drug Keratin and Prospin. Under special influence, the scales are opened, and this makes it possible for the composition to penetrate for their further restoration. The product is applied along the entire length, departing 2 cm from the roots. After which a cap is put on for a hot effect. Experts recommend additional heating with a hairdryer for 5-10 minutes to enhance concentration.
- Cold step. After the first exposure, the hair is washed off with water. The next stage is a restorative and astringent effect for 15-20 minutes. You will feel a pleasant chill, during which the scales close and the hair structure smoothes out.
- The final stage. Apply moisturizer to the strands after coloring.
Cost of the procedure
The cost of the procedure in the salon depends on the length of the curls:
- for short hair – 1000-1500 rubles;
- for medium ones – 1600-2500;
- for long ones – 2600-3500.
Their density and degree of damage are also of great importance. Porous or bleached hair requires one and a half times more of the drug, and in each individual case the dosage will be calculated individually.
You can buy the entire set for about 1000-1500 rubles.

What is the difference between Botox and lamination?
Before deciding on a hair healing session, you need to understand how the procedures differ from each other.
This is very important, since unknowingly there is a risk of further harming your curls.
Botox for hair is a procedure that is aimed specifically at improving the health of strands. The process involves applying special preparations consisting of vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients to the scalp. This composition nourishes the hair roots, as a result of which the structure of the curls is restored, the hair becomes more voluminous, shiny and silky. Botox allows you to get rid of excessive fragility and split ends. A particular advantage of this type of healing is the duration of the effect - the result can be observed within 2-4 months.
Lamination involves applying a special composition not to the scalp, but directly to the hair. The product used during the procedure forms a thin film on each hair, thereby creating a protective coating. It protects hair from drying out, rapid washing out of the color segment and exposure to harmful environmental factors. The use of such compositions also allows you to make curls smoother, shiny and thick.
The difference between Botox and lamination is not only in the features of the procedure and their effect on the strands, but also in the cost of treatment sessions. The price of health services depends on the length of the client’s hair, the quality of the composition used and the level of professionalism of the specialist.
The cost of Botox on average ranges from 2500 to 3500 rubles. Using the product at home will cost less. It will range from 1,500 to 4,000 rubles, depending on the quality of the product and the selected volume.
The price of lamination in the salon ranges from 2000 to 7000 rubles. You can purchase the product yourself for 2000-6000 rubles.
Thus, both types of procedures are quite expensive, so before resorting to them, it is highly recommended to find out what exactly your hair needs and what effect you need to achieve.
Side effects
Negative side effects of the procedure are extremely rare, and most of them are associated with intolerance to the components of the product or non-compliance with safety precautions during application.
's unique complex for lamination with a Botox effect can be an excellent alternative to expensive and unsafe procedures for the beauty of curls. It is affordable and easy to use, has very few contraindications, is non-toxic, and has a pleasant fragrance. By following the rules of its use, you can significantly improve your hair health and look great.
What is eyelash lamination
Eyelash lamination is a cosmetic care procedure that involves treating the hairs with a special composition, with the help of which the eyelashes are strengthened and the regeneration process is much faster. Moreover, thanks to this treatment, the color of the eyelashes is slightly darkened, tending to a natural black shade, and the hairs themselves acquire a graceful curve. This makes the look more expressive and deep.
The composition of the product for the procedure includes nourishing oils, mineral components, vitamin complexes and acids. The basis is keratin. It is due to the rich composition that the effect of not just strengthening, but also renewal is achieved. Eyelash lamination is an excellent alternative to eyelash extensions. Many girls note that after the procedure they do not need to use mascara, since the treated hairs look amazing without it.
Is it possible to do eyelash lamination for pregnant women?
If you carefully study the composition of the product used for lamination, you can find out that it does not contain substances that can be dangerous for women during pregnancy and lactation. In any case, consultation with the doctor managing the pregnancy regarding the acceptability of this procedure is mandatory.
Professional lamination specialists claim that although the procedure is safe, it is useless for pregnant and lactating women. When a woman is in an interesting position, as well as during breastfeeding, the hormonal background changes. That is why the laminating composition may not work properly and either not produce results at all, or it will not be so pronounced and much less durable.

This procedure will not harm the color. When choosing, you should consider:
- Hair type.
- Their condition.

Eyelash lamination: consequences
Negative consequences of the eyelash lamination procedure are extremely rare. They are often expressed in the form of allergic reactions or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes.
You can avoid them if you first consult with your mother about the advisability of the procedure. Carefully study the composition of the product for treating eyelashes to exclude the presence of allergens in it. It is also necessary that the process of applying the composition, preliminary and final treatment of eyelashes be carried out carefully. An important factor is the subsequent care of eyelashes and skin around the eyes.
What is better – lamination or eyelash extensions?
It is worth noting that these procedures carry completely different meanings. Eyelash lamination is a care procedure aimed at restoring eyelashes, stimulating their growth and preventing loss. Extensions are a cosmetic procedure that only involves changing the appearance of eyelashes and does not have a positive effect on their condition.
Moreover, if after lamination the eyelashes look healthy and well-groomed, then from frequent extensions they can deteriorate and begin to fall out more actively. Many girls are also allergic to eyelash extension glue.
From this it follows that it is definitely better to choose lamination for eyelash health. If you are only interested in the aesthetic aspect, then you can give preference to extensions.
Is it possible to do eyelash lamination after eyelash extensions?
The eyelash lamination procedure is absolutely incompatible with the eyelash extension procedure, so they cannot be carried out at the same time. At the same time, after removing eyelash extensions, lamination is very useful, since during this period the eyelashes need additional care and restoration.
Since the lamination procedure is aimed at restoring and healing eyelashes, it is the best means for regenerating eyelashes after extensions. An important aspect in this case is that lamination of eyelashes must be done in several stages, so as not to overload the hairs and skin of the eyelids with various products, as well as to avoid allergies. At the same time, complete recovery after extensions using lamination may require several months of regular procedures.
How often can eyelash lamination be done?
Since the eyelash lamination procedure is not only harmless, but also caring, it can be performed regularly. Often, cosmetologists individually select the frequency for each client, taking into account many factors. For example, for thin and damaged eyelashes, it is recommended to carry out the first 2 procedures with a break of 2 weeks, then less frequently.
Generally, the period between procedures is 5 weeks. During this time, the effect of the special composition fades away. Speaking about the recommendations of ophthalmologists, they recommend not to get carried away with eyelash lamination and not to confuse this procedure with a cosmetic one. Therefore, according to doctors, eyelash lamination should be done no more than 3-4 times a year.
Is it possible to paint eyelashes with mascara after lamination? The main visual effect of eyelash lamination is their attractive appearance - long, moisturized, curled. An invisible film is formed on them, which prevents the adverse effects of various environmental factors. Most girls do this procedure precisely with the aim of reducing the use of decorative cosmetics.
In fact, applying mascara to your eyelashes after lamination will not harm them in any way. But you need to understand that constant mechanical damage during makeup, as well as the use of certain makeup removers, can significantly reduce the duration of the effect of the lamination procedure.
If using mascara is an established ritual for a girl, and she cannot refuse it, then you should give preference to Botox for eyelashes. Applying and removing makeup, even with the help of special products, does not shorten the duration of the effect after eyelash Botox and does not have a negative effect on protected eyelashes.
