What Is Hair Botox?
Hair botox is a chemical-free deep-conditioning treatment that conditions and coats the hair with fillers to repair damaged and broken hair fibers. The treatment not only makes your hair look healthier and thicker but also provides strength and protection from future damage from heat, styling tools, or environmental factors. What’s the difference between a hair mask and hair botox? With hair botox, collagen proteins bind to your hair and temporarily fill in damaged or frayed areas.
The Benefits of Hair Botox
If you’re on the fence about hair botox, here are just a few of the benefits:
- Reverses hair damage.
- Calms frizzy hair.
- Strengthens hair.
- Boosts volume.
- Gives you a sleek, straight look.
- Protects against future damage.
- Prevents hair loss.
What Is the Treatment Like?
Your stylist will start by assessing your hair to determine what treatment it needs. Next, they will massage the treatment into your hair and let it sit for 20-90 minutes. For deeper penetration, your stylist may have you sit under a dryer, steam, or red light.
Who Should Get Hair Botox?
Everyone is considered a great candidate for hair botox because most people can benefit from extra moisture. Tell your stylist about the products you are currently using so you don’t risk protein overload, which results in dry, damaged, and brittle hair.
Does Hair Botox Ruin Color or Curls?
Hair botox treatments differ from salon to salon, but it’s unlikely to include a color-stripping component. As for curls, you would have to break the bonds in your hair to change them, and this treatment doesn’t do that. So rest easy knowing that your color and curls are safe with hair botox treatments.
