Hair Botox can be an ideal treatment option for curly locks as it does not straighten like other methods but instead smooth out locks.
At minimum, it is advised to undergo hair botox treatments twice annually for optimal results. You can maximize these benefits with the use of sulfate-free shampoos and hydrating hair masks, in addition to protecting against UV rays and heat styling tools by using No Remorse Heat Protection & Taming Spray with Frizz-Smoothing Vitamin E nourishing spray.
Preparation
Hair Botox is an innovative hair treatment that promises smooth, frizz-free locks. This non-chemical procedure penetrates the shaft to close down cuticles and repair damage while adding shine, volume reduction, dehydration repair and volume reduction – benefits that may last months!
First and foremost in getting optimal results from any hair treatment is making sure it is thoroughly washed and completely dried out, to allow your product to adhere effectively to every strand. Make sure you follow all the instructions that accompany your product – some have mixtures while others offer single cream applications – before beginning this treatment plan.
Once you apply a product, it is important to wait an appropriate length of time before blow drying or flat ironing your hair to let the product do its work. For straight or fine hair this can take 20 to 30 minutes; while for curlier, frizzier locks, this could take 40. Once waiting is complete, use either blow drying or flat ironing as appropriate to seal in the product and maintain desired style.
To extend and sustain the effects of this treatment, it is advisable to use a nourishing hair mask once every week and use chemical- and sulfate-free shampoo as this will help prolong its effects. Silk pillowcases will protect your beautiful locks from snags and breakage during sleep time while you sleep, while overstyling should be avoided by allowing air drying rather than heat tools.
Treatment
The treatment itself is straightforward and needle-free: your stylist will wash, open up the cuticles and massage in product. Next you’ll blow dry your hair before sealing it in with a flat iron for smoother, stronger and more manageable locks that could last 2-4 months according to Ciabrone; but this depends on how often you wash and what kind of products are used on it.
Just like Botox for your skin, hair cuticle restoration helps fill in damaged areas to give you smooth skin. In similar fashion, it works to improve the health and vitality of your locks as it smoothes strands to reduce frizz and add a healthy sheen that makes your locks appear more vibrant, according to Holly Dear of House of Dear Haircare and Salon in Dallas. Once restored and smoothed, its cuticle allows light through easily, giving the shine we all desire in our locks! “By smoothing it away, light passes easily through, giving your locks that beautiful glow we all admire,” adds Dear.
Hair Botox, unlike other straightening treatments, doesn’t damage hair follicles and is safe for both color-treated or chemically treated locks. According to Yvey Valcin of Yvey Salon in Seattle, this therapy can be especially helpful for people who suffer from curling hair damaged from climate conditions like high heat and humidity, overprocessing, or coloring too often.
If you’re considering hair botox treatment, be sure to visit a salon that specializes in it and read reviews first. A quality shampoo can also help sustain the results of treatment; Dear suggests for optimal results to opt for one free from harsh chemicals like sulfates that’s high in moisture instead. Adding weekly mask treatments into your routine could further enhance moisture levels and keep the botox effects lasting longer.
