Is Botox Treatment Good for Hair?

In general, Hair Botox treatment is good for rejuvenating and repairing damaged or frizzy hair by supplying the strands with nutrients like keratin and collagen. Furthermore, these treatments are capable of producing good-looking and lasting results for up to 4 months. It also recreates the cuticle of the hair using natural ingredients like keratin and collagen instead of using chemical processes that produce less desirable and even harmful results like formaldehyde. This treatment is thus apt for dry, chemically treated, or wavy hair in hot and humid countries like India.

How Hair Botox Works?

The hair cleaning process is first carried out, after which a vitamin-rich mixture of keratin, collagen, oils, and peptides is applied, the mixture is left on for 30-60 minutes, and finally, it is sealed with the heat from a flat iron at 180-230°C. This topical therapeutic treatment not only reaches the cortex to give vertices but also the interior parts of the hair making them healthy, smooth, and resistant to heat and pollution without firing the entire permanent wave.

Top Benefits

By up to 90%, the process of reducing frizz, the addition of shine and softness so that one can style his/her hair daily without using heavy products, are the top benefits of the treatment. 

It helps in restoring split ends and volume, breaking-repairing due to hair coloring or usage of tools, and giving the requisite volume to fine or thin hair without making it flat. 

It leads to overall improvement in manageability, protection of color-treated hair, and lessened environmental damage; thus healthier-looking locks. 

Effectiveness and Suitability

The studies and expert opinions confirm that there is a very high efficacy for surface-level repair of frizz-prone or damaged hair, with visible smoothness immediately after the treatment. This method is great for those who want to stay away from aggressive keratin treatments but not for the case of severe hair loss and oily scalps; the results are dependent on hair porosity and aftercare that includes non-sulfate shampoos. 

Precautions for Best Results

You should always do a patch test to make sure you are not allergic, limit the number of treatments (maximum every 3-4 months) to prevent buildup, and make sure the products used in the salon are from reputable clinics and are top-notch. Most people will be able to use the product safely, however, if you are pregnant or have a sensitive scalp it is wise to consult the experts.
