After‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ the hair Botox session, many people hesitate whether to wash their hair or not. This is the most common question that arises after a hair Botox session: “Can I wash my hair after Botox?”

 

Basically, the answer is yes but not straight away.

 

How Long After Hair Botox Can I Wash My Hair?

To be sure of the effect, the specialists suggest not washing the hair until 48–72 hours, in other words 2–3 days. The Hair Botox treatment stays strong when the formula used in the session has time to penetrate the hair cuticles and to start its repairing, moisturizing, and softening activities.

Why You Shouldn’t Wash Hair Immediately After Botox

time Suggests that washing the hair immediately after the treatment will:

 

  • Detract the power of the treatment
  • Stop the ingredients bonding with the hair shaft
  • Make the treatment last for a shorter period of time
  • Be the reason of uneven results and/or cause the fact that frizz will come back faster again

 

Hair Botox is like a deep-conditioning filler and if you give it time to work it will help you get the most out of the treatment in terms of shine, softness, and smoothness.

 

Is it Ok to Use Shampoo After Hair Botox?

 

What you can do is washing hair with:

 

  •  Non-sulfate shampoos 
  •  Mild and low-pH products 

 

 The application of harsh shampoos can remove the treatment quickly and accelerate the process of fading it. 

 

Things Not to Do After Hair Botox

 

You can maintain the results of treatment if you:

 

  • Don't go swimming or don't sweat excessively for 48–72 hours
  • Don't tie your hair tightly 
  • Avoid washing the hair with hot water for the first time 
  • Stay away from harsh chemicals and clarifying shampoos 

 

So, Can You Wash Your Hair After Botox?

 

Of course, but it should not be earlier than 2–3 days.

 

That is the basic gesture not only helping your Hair Botox last longer but also keeping your hair smooth, glossy, and manageable for ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌weeks.
