Adverse environmental factors, dyeing, stress, lack of vitamins, negatively affect the appearance of the hair. In order to improve their condition, use a procedure such as Botox – an instant gift to every woman with shiny flowing and curls. We talk about the nuances of the Botox procedure for hair.
What is Hair Botox
Botox for hair is a medical procedure aimed at improving the structure of the hair shaft, reducing brittleness, as well as acquiring curls of extraordinary smoothness.
The method of the procedure is based on the complex effect of special preparations that create a kind of skeleton inside the hair shaft – due to this, the hair becomes smooth, like silk, rises from the roots and grows faster. Most professional preparations for the Botox procedure imply a formula of two components – a liquid and a concentrate. The combination of the two phases contributes to the correct reaction, which enhances the effect of penetration and action. The composition of such a cocktail for hair beauty can be different, first of all, it depends on the manufacturer. Among the active components of the drug can be identified:
Amino acids – make up for the lack of protein, strengthen hair follicles, and also normalize the water balance in the hair structure.
Keratin and Collagen – fill the voids inside the hair shaft, thanks to them the so-called elasticity framework is formed, therefore, the hair is less prone to breakage and stretching.
hyaluronic acid – maintains the necessary level of moisture and strengthens the hair.
Vitamin complex – A, B, C and D fill the hair structure at the cellular level, forming the necessary immunity to protect against adverse factors.
Essential oils and plant extracts – provide softness, create obedient strands, give a healthy shine to hair.
After the first Botox treatment, you can already see amazing results. All useful components of the preparation are consistently distributed in the hair structure and are sealed for a long time, thereby continuing to exert their positive effect from the inside.
Types of Botox for hair
There are two types of hair Botox treatment: cold and hot.
Cold Botox aims to restore the health of the hair. The method is based on applying the drug to the strands, followed by fixing the result with another tool from the kit. At the same time, Botox builds useful substances into each hair, so you are not afraid of the influence of external environmental factors for a long time. Suitable for owners of dull, weakened and lifeless curls, as well as brittle and dry hair. In addition to the therapeutic effect, you also get a cosmetic one – the curls become incredibly well-groomed. Also, this method is suitable for use at home. The result after the first procedure lasts about 1 – 1,5 months, subject to proper hair care.
hot botox It is aimed at high-quality smoothing and straightening of hair. The method is based on the technique of cold Botox, but with the subsequent study of the strands with the help of an iron. It is the length of the curls that is exposed to thermal effects without affecting the root zone. Suitable for those who suffer from the effect of excessive “fluffiness” in wet or rainy weather, as well as for those who want to transform their hair into flowing silk and not stand every day with an iron in their hands, creating a smooth styling. The result after the first procedure lasts from 2 or more months, but again, subject to proper hair care.
The effect of any type of Botox procedure is cumulative. Hair acquires obedience, elasticity and incredible shine. True, with the hot method, the result is a little more expressive and persistent. The cold method, in turn, is perfect for weakened hair, which is categorically contraindicated in additional thermal stress on the hair follicles.

How does the Botox hair treatment work?
Botox for hair is a safe procedure, but if the technique is not followed, adverse reactions may occur. The procedure does not require special preparation, but this method of hair transformation works only on wet hair. How long the Botox procedure will last depends primarily on the length and density of your hair.
In beauty salons, the Botox hair procedure is carried out in several subsequent stages:
- Cleansing of the scalp from dirt is done with a special shampoo. Hair is dried a little with a hairdryer on a cold blow mode or with a towel to remove excess water.
- The drug is applied with a syringe to clearly separated strands in successive movements. The composition is applied only to strands with a slight indentation from the roots of about 1 cm. It is important to distribute the entire concentrate along the entire length of the curls, and then walk gently with a comb, removing excess serum.
- The thermal effect is produced by drying with a hairdryer (cold blowing), while the active substances are soldered into each hair. This stage of drying the head lasts approximately 20 minutes, after which the hair needs to cool down naturally.
- The completion of the procedure may involve a different set of actions that directly depend on the instructions of the manufacturer of the drug you have chosen: simply washing off the active substance with water, sealing with an iron, or applying a fixing mask that does not require rinsing.
The sequence of the Botox procedure for hair is listed, which is performed both with a cold method and with a hot one. In the first case, the drug is kept and the contents of another vial from the kit are re-applied to the head for a while. Then the composition is washed off and a special reconstructive mask is applied. In the second case, an iron is used, which is passed over each curl several times. The process is completed by rinsing the hair and drying it with a hair dryer on a cold blowing mode.
To save the result after the procedure, you must follow some rules for hair care:
- Refuse to wash your hair and visit the salon for three days. This time is necessary in order for all the nutrients and healing substances to be absorbed into the structure of your hair;
- For hair care, choose special products – gentle sulfate-free shampoo;
- Drying with a hairdryer must be done every time after the next shampooing, while at your discretion you can choose a cold or hot blowing mode;
- Moisturize your hair further with nourishing herbal masks;
- The use of any styling products, curling irons or irons can lead to a quick erasure of the result.

Reviews of experts about Botox for hair
Magamadova Zarina, trichologist, hair stylist:
– The meaning of the procedure is revealed as a result – each hair is sealed with a preparation with amino acids, keratin, vitamins. Visually, your hair becomes truly beautiful, well-groomed. But such a procedure does not cure them, but only creates an illusion. After the composition is completely washed out of your strands, the hair becomes dehydrated. This condition is due to the presence of formaldehyde in the preparation.
In general, the Botox hair treatment is possible for a single application, for example, before an important event – in this case, it will not adversely affect the condition of your hair. If you resort to the frequent use of Botox, then you risk getting excessive dryness, loss of elasticity and a sloppy look of the strands.
