Hair Botox, this non-invasive treatment has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to treat a variety of hair concerns such as frizziness, split ends, and lack of shine. Hair Botox is a term used to describe a hair treatment that aims to rejuvenate and restore damaged and broken hair fibres.

The hair on your head loses fullness and elasticity as it ages, just like your skin due to pollution, lifestyle, stress and heat on strands. It’s perfect for those with dry, brittle, and color-dam-aged hair. Hair Botox acts as the ultimate deep conditioning treatment that coats hair fibres with a filler, such as keratin making it a safe and painless process.

It helps people who are seeking solutions for split ends, damaged hair, frizz and dryness, hair lacking volume or sheen, and Naturally wavy or curly hair. Hair Botox treatment doesn’t require any surgery or a significant amount of downtime.

Besides taming the frizz, the treatment also adds moisture and shine to the hair. It suits everyone regardless of hair type. It works equally well on any type of hair, from fine and straight to thick and curly.

The procedure involves a specialised formula containing proteins, amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and, in some cases, hyaluronic acid is used. These ingredients penetrate the hair shaft and repair damage while also providing hydration and improving hair health.

The treatment allows the ingredients to penetrate deep into the hair shaft, infuses the hair with intense hydration while replacing/ filling in the lost cuticle layers, creating a protective barrier, coating the hair shaft in essence, gluing the cuticle layers down, and temporarily filling in/replac-ing lost cuticles.

A post-hair botox shampoo should be mild, gentle and free of sulfates, sodium chloride, silicones, and parabens that will keep hair cuticles closed and smooth. Besides, a moisturizing conditioner should be formulated with natural seed oils, hydrolyzed proteins, and other plant extracts. You can apply a hair mask once a week to moisturize the hair.

Your hair will then be dried in sections and the botox treatment will be applied thoroughly through your hair, from the roots to the tips. The treatment is then left on for about 60 minutes, after which a soft hair cleanser is used to wash the botox off.

Your hair will be dried first, then heat-straightened to help seal in the treatment in the fibers of your hair.
