Does hair botox change the texture of your hair?

Neither keratin nor hair botox are necessarily “better”, because each one depends on your hair's goals and needs. Both keratin and botox hair treatments can leave hair softer, smoother and slightly shinier, but with different strengths and permanence. Ansha carefully covers each strand of hair from root to tip. He explains that when it covers each strand, it expands and that Botox fills in the gaps, leaving each hair beautiful and soft.

Botox hair treatment is touted as the miracle treatment for those with damaged, broken, or extremely dry hair. Unlike similar treatments, it won't change the actual texture of your hair. Your hair will remain yours, only healthier and shinier. So what has changed? I had done “Hair Botox”, a deep conditioning salon treatment that has nothing to do with the needles.

If you have damaged, frizzy, thin, dull or dry hair, Botox can make a drastic change. Not only is my hair thicker, but it's shinier and softer, needs to be styled with less heat and doesn't swell at the slightest hint of moisture (it's a perfect summer treatment). I also keep my natural waves, but they are softer than frizzy. Although some say that hair botox doesn't change hair shape because it's natural, people have the opposite effect and have seen their curly hair become permanently smooth.

My advice, if you really want to use this treatment, is to be cautious, very cautious. Make sure you know what ingredients are in the product you buy. I read that a Botox hair treatment required a well-ventilated room due to strong vapors (perhaps formaldehyde) and another warned users to stay away from sources of ignition. Hello, I have curly and low-porosity hair, I think it's harmful, I keep losing hair and I don't use extensions as a protective style. Botox hair treatments have been around for more than a decade, thanks to companies like L'Oreal, who pioneered this concept.

Beth Gillette is the beauty editor of Cosmopolitan and has four years of experience researching, writing and editing hair stories that range from the best brushes for curly hair to shampoos for scalp acne. Basically, keratin treatments (which last up to three months) are great for slightly straightening hair and increasing its shine, while deep conditioning treatments (which don't really have a measurable period of effectiveness) help strengthen and moisturize hair without smoothing the pattern of curls or waves. Hopefully, the treatment will make my hair grow stronger and perhaps replace some of the hair lost around my face. She put on “hair Botox” herself before her ten-day trip to Sri Lanka for a wedding and says it stayed shiny and frizz-free the entire time she was there.

Yes, hair botox is good for hair, just like all deep conditioning treatments done at home and in the beauty salon are good for hair. Apparently, botox hair treatments are old news and it seems like I've been living in a cage for the last 6 years or so. In general, botox and deep conditioning hair treatments tend to be full of hydrating and strengthening ingredients i. The Botox hair treatment, which costs 350 pounds, takes place in the Mayfair salon of Jo Hansford, the queen's hairdresser, so it was a little comforting.
