Hair Botox vs Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Hair Botox vs Brazilian Keratin Treatment:
Which One is for You?

What Makes Hair Botox Different from Brazilian Keratin Treatment?

While both treatments will give you similar results, each of them has some distinct differences. They both create a smoothing effect, eliminate frizz, add shine, and help significantly reduce styling time. The biggest difference between these two treatments is that Hair Botox doesn’t contain formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals that you can find in traditional keratin treatment products. Other differences include that Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment, which works to restore the natural beauty of damaged hairs, while a keratin treatment is intended primarily as a hair straightening method and shouldn’t be used on extremely damaged hair.

Who are the Best Candidates for These Treatments? Keratin treatment is a great option for those with thick curly and unruly hair. The treatment delivers perfect results on frizzy hair that suffers in humid weather. On virgin hair, the effects won’t last as long as on porous and chemically treated hair. Keratin treatment is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women and children under the age of twelve. The treatment is not intended for super fine, straight or thin hair. Hair Botox is suitable for all hair types. This treatment is aimed at you if you have very fine, dry, colored, bleached, dull, lifeless, or fried hair full of split ends. The treatment is safe enough to use on pregnant women.

Health and Environmental Concerns

Traditional keratin products contain a chemical called formaldehyde that can be released during the flat ironing process. Formaldehyde fumes have the potential to harm the client, the stylist, and the people around them. Hair Botox is safe and environmentally friendly hair treatment. There are no toxic fumes or vapors coming from the product and no gas mask is required when working with it.

Tame your Frizzy Curly Hair

Brazilian keratin treatment spreads the active keratin molecules on top of the hair, not inside the cuticle. Keratin molecules are too large to penetrate the hair strands. Unlike keratin treatments, Hair Botox is a filler of essential nutrients like vitamins, amino acids, and anti-oxidants that effectively penetrates the cuticle to restore hair from the inside out. The treatment fills gaps and breakages in the hair shaft, works to restore lost protein and helps keep hair smooth, healthy, and strong.

Can I Use These Products without Fear of Damaging my Hair?

Keratin products can sometimes cause hair to become dry and disturbingly brittle. If you have weak hair, flat ironing can cause damage to the cuticle making hair break off. Some people may experience an increase in hair falling out immediately after the treatment. With Hair Botox treatment your hair will not be prone to the negative effects of dryness, breakage and hair fall. If you want your hair and scalp healthy in the long run Hair Botox is the right treatment for you.

Which Treatment Works Better for You?

A keratin treatment will make your hair appear naturally straight, smooth and much more manageable. Keratin treated hair will not become frizzy even when exposed to humid environments. Styling time is dramatically decreased.
Hair Botox restructures badly damaged hair, repairs split ends, eliminates frizz and adds incredible shine to hair. The treatment also nourishes the scalp and helps fight dandruff and hair loss.

Keratin treatment is a better option if you want straight and manageable hair since the keratin treatment straightens hair more than Hair Botox. If you want to bring your hair back to life and diminish the frizz but still keep your waves intact, then Hair Botox is what you need. Hair Botox smooths the curls and makes them much more manageable, but the treatment won’t completely straighten the hair. Also, Hair Botox would be a treatment of choice if you want silky-looking and frizz-free hair, but prefer not to use harsh chemicals.

If you have fine hair, a keratin treatment can weigh your hair down, leaving it to look flattened. Hair Botox is more suitable for fine hair, as it doesn’t reduce the volume or weigh your hair down to the same degree as keratin treatments will do. Botox for hair, like Botox for skin, works to make your hair smooth and full. The point of it, essentially, is to remove frizz from your hair. The end result of this is that your hair will be frizz-free, and consequently shinier. It might also be straighter, as our hair tends to poof and get a bit curly when there’s frizz involved. Hair Botox is like giving your hair a deep conditioning treatment. You might have done something similar on yourself at home, but a Botox treatment is even more effective and the effects will last longer.

If your hair is dehydrated, or you suffer from split ends, frizziness, or simply want healthier hair, Botox for hair can be a lifesaver (well, a hair saver, I guess). It’s full of nourishing proteins, antioxidants, vitamins, and other hair-healthy ingredients that fill in the gaps in your hair fibers and restore it to its natural beauty. In addition to removing frizz, hair Botox adds volume to your hair and rejuvenates hair strands which were previously damaged.
So what exactly is in hair Botox? It includes the active ingredients Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, argan oil, coconut oil, collagen complex, glyoxylic acid and amino acids.

Is Hair Botox Safe?

While regular Botox for the face can be controversial, Botox for hair is definitely safe. No toxins or harmful chemicals are used in the making of this product. Like everything else you introduce to your body or skin, you should test a small amount of hair Botox first to make sure you do not get an allergic reaction from any of the ingredients. Yet most people do not experience any adverse side effects from the treatment, so don’t worry.

When deciding between hair smoothing treatments, another plus of hair Botox is that it is safer than a keratin hair treatment. That’s because it is formaldehyde-free. Overexposure to formaldehyde can lead to cancer, so on your next trip to the salon you might want to inquire about switching from keratin to Botox. Also, the good news about hair Botox is that it is impossible for the treatment to damage or weaken your hair. So no need to worry about harshness that could lead to dullness or hair loss. Yet a keratin treatment can ruin your hair if it is too strong and adds too much protein to your hair shaft. Hair Botox is less harsh than a keratin treatment, so it is especially good for people with fine hair. Lastly, hair Botox does not contain parabens, which do cause some potential health risks. Another bullet point on the “hair Botox pros” list.

Hair Botox Before And After Results

Is your hair dehydrated? Has it been subjected to way too many bleaching or dyeing sessions? Or has it been under attack from your hair iron for too long and is starting to look coarse or dull? If so, it may be time to consider a hair Botox treatment. What will your hair look like after a Botox treatment? What hair Botox is not is the kind of treatment that will change your hair type. For example, curly hair won’t magically become straighter. But the treatment will enhance your natural hair. Because it fills in the gaps in your hair strands, hair Botox will make your hair look healthier, shinier and more lively. You’ll probably find that your hair looks younger and that split ends are nothing but a distant memory. And if you suffer from dandruff, Botox hair treatments can help with that as well. Plus, if frizz is your issue, you’ll find your hair is far easier to deal with and less frizzy. All while still staying true to your natural hair type. These results will last about 2-4 months, after which you will need to schedule another treatment. So, when it comes down to it, does hair Botox work? The answer is yes! You’ll really notice a difference in your hair from the very beginning. Without frizz and flyaways, you’ll find styling your hair much easier (and quicker!). If you’re used to always having to blow-dry or set your hair to make it look good after the shower, there will no longer be a need for it. You’ll feel like a brand new person, getting to step out of the shower and having your hair dry naturally – and nicely! You hair before Botox has got nothing on post-Botox hair!

Can I Get Keratin and Hair Botox Together?
Yes, those with very thick curly hair who want their hair straight with a shiny, healthy look are perfect for doing the two together. Hair botox is also safe on color-treated hair, so you can always add a coloring service when you come in.
