Hello, dear blog guests! There are many different treatments available to create smooth, silky and beautiful locks. Not long ago, Botox for hair appeared, allowing you to make curls more elastic, elastic and healthy.
Frequent coloring, styling and blow-drying are factors that negatively affect the beauty and health of hair. The new procedure allows you to effectively cope with these phenomena. Let's figure out what this remedy is and how it is used correctly.
What is Botox for hair?
Botox for hair is a procedure that has nothing to do with facial injections. In this case, products such as serum or mask are used.
At the same time, the strands become smoother. The drug is distributed on the surface of the hair. Botox is a remedy that allows you to restore damaged strands, get rid of split ends and improve the structure of each hair.
Healing occurs from the inside, due to the fact that the composition of Botox is enriched with amino acids, a complex of vitamins, and also contains green tea extract or keratin. There is also a component called intra-silane, which is responsible for restoration.
Effect and results
The procedure exceeded all my possible expectations. It was not for nothing that I said that I have never had such hair. And the main thing is that all the goodies that I received remain with me all the time, my hair does not lose its appearance, even after washing my hair the effect was in place, nothing was lost anywhere. In the photo with the final result, by the way, the hair was simply blow-dried , no irons! All in all:
- Hair has become denser
- The shine has increased, and very significantly. Probably my red head can be seen from space
- My hair is no longer tangled
- Increased elasticity and firmness
- The hangers-on have disappeared. Almost completely
- Smooth like delicate silk fabric
I take care of it as before, except that I changed the shampoo and conditioner to a sulfate-free line from the same brand (there will also be a post, probably)).
In general, I want to say that the Belarusians surprised me! The tools really work and are great. And despite the fact that this is my first procedure, I can only say good things about it. Of course, I’ll keep watching and see how it goes. But, with proper care, I think everything will be fine Video to follow:
Thank you for your attention)) Have you tried Botox or keratin? What are your impressions? I suspect that I might catch slippers, because... The procedure is not therapeutic, but is aimed at external gloss. What do you think?
Composition of the product
Let's take a closer look at the composition of Botox used for hair:
- Elastin makes curls smoother, more elastic and manageable.
- Amino acids restore the structure of damaged hairs.
- Vitamins make strands stronger.
- Hyaluronic acid is an important component that maintains moisture.
- Collagen helps maintain elasticity.
- Keratin compacts the structure of the hair shaft.
There are professional products that contain two compositions. And they need to be mixed before application.
Contraindications
There are practically no contraindications to the Botox procedure . The only thing that can cause inconvenience is allergies, since in addition to natural components, the composition also contains chemical ones.
It is not recommended to do the procedure for pregnant and lactating women, as chemical compositions can adversely affect the health of the child.
Botox for hair is an excellent procedure not only for those with straight hair, but also for curly beauties. One way or another, this is a process of healing and hair restoration that will not hurt any girl. For hair straightening, Botox is not as effective as keratin straightening, but it will eliminate frizz and porosity of hair.
In what cases is it used
Botox is not a special technique that is designed to straighten hair. But it contains intra-silane molecules that accelerate hair restoration and saturation with moisture.
Therefore, the procedure can be recommended for straight strands. After all, after it, the curls become more silky, manageable and smooth. In addition, the hairs do not break.
This procedure is also suitable for curly hair. Botox does not straighten hair completely; the active molecules of the drug and amino acids fill the voids of the hair shaft well.
This helps restore hair. After use, curly curls do not become completely straight, but a light wave remains. But the strands still become more manageable and shiny.
Botox is ideal for weakened and thinning hair. Organic-mineral molecules penetrate inside the shaft, and under their influence the thickness of the hair increases.
At the same time, restoration and saturation of the strands is observed. Visually, the hair becomes more voluminous and heavier.
Fourth step
There are 3 remedies and 4 steps, because... the previous stage was intermediate. So, the final touch is a balancing mask. needed in order to complete the reaction on the hair and consolidate the composition and effect .
The mask has a liquid texture and is not very convenient to apply, but overall there was no discomfort. The aroma is sweet, powdery, with notes of flowers. Here you can already do without gloves and brushes.
After ironing, we go to wash off the composition completely. Yes, back to the bathroom. Rinse thoroughly with just warm water. Lightly squeeze out the moisture, apply the mask, leave for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off. We style with a hairdryer. All. The procedure is completed, you can go look at the result
How is it different from a keratin procedure?
The keratin hair straightening method is similar to the Botox procedure, but has some distinctive features. Straightening with keratin smoothes strands.
In this case, the effect can last for about 2-3 months. After use, the curls do not frizz, look perfectly smooth and shiny. Due to the smoothing effect, curls become heavy and lack volume.
In addition, this composition does not nourish the hair. Botox contains substances that heal and restore strands. The smoothing effect is due to the improvement of the hair structure.
At the same time, the hairstyle becomes more voluminous and well-groomed. The result lasts up to 5 months.
Third step
We stretch it with an iron. The legendary stage, because of which wars are waged on the topic of the benefits/harms of Botox and keratin. In general, in my humble opinion, relatively healthy hair will tolerate this just fine . And torturing damaged hair with such procedures is just finishing off. Maybe I'm wrong, of course. Everything also depends on the correct execution of all stages, which is also an important point. So now I partly understand where the negative reviews of this kind of things come from...
Another such moment. I also had the opportunity to choose keratin straightening . But I didn’t do this for one simple reason - I think that healthy hair doesn’t need keratin in such quantities. And if you iron it into healthy hair, you can soon reap the benefits in the form of fragility, and all because of an excess of keratin and weighting of the hair. These are my thoughts. Who is more familiar with these procedures, what do you think?
Got distracted. So, after partially rinsing off the composition, you need to dry your hair 100% with a hairdryer. Fully. Next, take a strand of 1-2 cm and stretch it with an iron 5-10 times, and so on throughout the head. I got an average of 6-7. The number of broaches and the temperature of the iron directly depend on the degree of damage to the hair, as you understand. Mine seem to be healthy, but... It’s my first time and I’m afraid, I didn’t go through it more than 7 times
The photo above shows the hair after full broaching .
Advantages of the procedure and its disadvantages
As reviews confirm, the strands after this procedure become obedient and even. The number of split ends is also significantly reduced. Let's note the advantages of the technology:
- the drug helps improve elasticity and straighten curly hair;
- the effect lasts quite a long time;
- the procedure can be performed at home.
There are also some disadvantages. For example, frequent use causes brittleness and thinning of strands. Now we’ll find out which hair needs Botox.
Here are the main indications for use:
- Thin and brittle strands.
- Hair that is too fluffy and unruly.
- Split and dried ends.
- Hair loss and low volume.
The procedure is also effective after improper hair care. If the cause of hair loss is some kind of disease, then you first need to get rid of it. Before doing the procedure in the salon, you need to find out about existing contraindications.
First of all, this is individual intolerance, as well as all kinds of damage to the skin and periods of pregnancy or lactation. Botulinum toxin preparations are not recommended for people over 50 years of age and people with neuromuscular disorders.
Indications for use
The Botox technique may be recommended to you if you have the following hair problems:
- Dull and lacking shine;
- if your hair is naturally thin and sparse;
- insufficiently moistened, dry;
- increased fragility;
- ends split and split;
- do not fit well;
- fluffy;
- annoying static effect;
- often get confused.
Botox is recommended for damaged, colored hair and is suitable for any length. The products used are suitable for different hair types and colors. Also, this method can get rid of annoying yellow hair - the shade evens out.
Owners of curly hair will like this technique: the curls will become more manageable, more elastic, and more well-groomed. There will be no problems with protruding strands. But Botox only smoothes hair temporarily and will not straighten it completely. The hot method smoothes out for a short time. The main purpose of Botox is restoration and healing, so for complete smoothing, another technique is suitable - keratin straightening.
What hair looks like: before and after photos
In the photo you can see what results can be expected after applying the procedure.
How long does the result last?
The standard time to retain a job is up to five months. However, after two months, the effect begins to subside, the hair becomes curly again, and the shine disappears. If your hair is naturally very curled, the work may take less time in terms of hair straightening.
Keep in mind that long-term job retention also depends on the actions of the cosmetologist, his literacy, and the strength of the composition used in cosmetology. Because of this, a home procedure often lasts much less than a manipulation performed in cosmetology.
The effect also depends on the initial structure of the curls. On sparse, thin and thin hair, the collagen-based composition lasts less.
To increase the length of time the work remains in its original form, follow the instructions and restrictions of the cosmetologist. And if you notice side effects or a premature decline in the result, consult a cosmetologist, as this may indicate an allergic reaction to the product.
Technique of the procedure
No special preparations are required before the procedure. You just need to wash your hair. The duration of the session is no more than an hour. The procedure consists of the following steps:
- To remove impurities, a special shampoo is used, which promotes better penetration of the nourishing serum.
- After washing, the hair is blotted with a towel.
- Then a reconstructive serum is applied to the strands, which lasts for 30-40 minutes.
- After this, the product responsible for restoring the strands is distributed. It is applied to the entire length and left for 5 minutes.
- Finally, a restorative mask is applied to prolong the effect of the serum.
- Then the hair is dried and styled.

- The final stage includes applying a restorative mask with massage movements. In this case, the strands are dried with a hairdryer and styled.
Why doesn't everyone get the desired result?
- The composition is chosen incorrectly - only an expert who has been trained and has experience can correctly select what you need.
- The timing of exposure and the amount of application are violated - in this case, the hair may appear greasy and weighed down.
- Excessive ironing will cause dryness and dehydration.
- A counterfeit or low-quality product means the result is unpredictable.
- Frequent use.
You shouldn't dye your hair and do Botox at the same time. The scalp after coloring is irritated and the strands are weak, there is a risk of losing some hair.
Does hair grow better after Botox?
We apply the composition only to the length, moving away from the root, and we do not affect growth.
Nevertheless, there is more hair on the head, since protected hair shafts do not break or split, and new ones appear.
Does the procedure contribute to hair loss?
If you apply and maintain the composition correctly, Botox will not contribute to this problem.
But if we do Botox more often than once every 3 months, the composition will weigh down the curls and they will fall out along with the bulbs.
To protect hair from loss and promote its growth, we need to eat right and take organic vitamins, as well as omega 3.

Basic information about the procedure
The choice of the type and manufacturer of serum depends on the problem with which you came for the procedure. Different formulations are used if you need to restore dry, colored curls, rid natural hair of frizz, or to add volume to lifeless hair.
There is hot and cold Botox . The same serums can be used for them (all of them are safe, as they do not contain formaldehyde), but with hot Botox, after applying the composition, the hair is ironed. Due to this, a straightening effect is achieved. You can learn more about what cold Botox for hair is in this material.
However, the duration of the procedure becomes significantly longer, since each thin strand needs to be ironed. The procedure for long curls can last 3 hours or more. The effect lasts from 2 to 6 months depending on the composition used.
Important! We recommend that you carry out the procedure at a hairdresser for the first time, since only a trained specialist can correctly calculate the concentration of the serum.

Reviews
Galina, 24 years old:
I have had curly hair since childhood, so I decided to experiment a little and try straightening it with Botox. My hairdresser assured me that it would be very effective and safe. However, I was dissatisfied with the final result, which lasted only 1.5 months.
Larisa, 30 years old:
I wanted to straighten my curls. I spent a long time choosing between keratin and Botox, but in the end I settled on the second option. I can’t say that I was wildly delighted with the resulting effect, but overall I was satisfied with everything. I recommend trying this procedure to everyone who has been blessed with curly hair by nature.
