Hair Botox is part of modern treatments that have gained popularity due to the desire to smooth hair fibers and enhance their shine. But are the promises made truly valid or deceptive? This hair treatment only shares its name with traditional Botox; it does not require injections or utilize botulinum toxin as used in facial Botox. Instead, it is a well-known treatment in Brazil and the United States that addresses issues of brittle and lifeless hair, making it smooth and radiant. Hence, its effects are often compared to those of Botox on the skin, given its ability to smooth and enhance radiance.
### Varied Ingredients
The ingredients of hair Botox can vary from one salon to another, but it typically includes moisturizing components such as hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, argan oil, and macadamia oil, along with various proteins, collagen, and vitamins B5, C, and E, as well as antioxidants. Hair Botox promises intense shine, softness, and reduced frizz, while its results are attributed to its ability to close hair cuticles, allowing light to reflect on the strands. This treatment is usually applied in a hair salon and lasts between 3 to 6 months.
### Botox Mask
The Botox mask can be applied at home, caring for dry, brittle, and damaged hair from excessive use of styling tools and coloring dyes. These types of masks contain a cocktail of hydrating and deeply nourishing ingredients, making them beneficial for enhancing hair vitality.
These masks can be used on all hair types, especially since they offer numerous benefits and allow hair to regain its health and radiance due to their richness in plant-based keratin and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients penetrate deep into the hair to help moisturize and repair any damage while strengthening its structure and protecting against split ends and breakage.
Experts say these masks have a mirror-like effect, smoothing the hair's surface and controlling frizz, which makes styling easier and enhances shine. Additional ingredients are often added to Botox masks, most notably proteins, vitamins, and moisturizing elements that care for damaged hair.
### Application Method
- Before applying the mask, wash the hair with shampoo to remove impurities, dust, and accumulated dirt on the hair and scalp.
- The second step involves generously distributing the mask along the length of the hair, focusing on the ends.
- Follow the product instructions for the application time, which can vary between 15 to 30 minutes.
- Cover the head with a warm towel or plastic cap to enhance the mask's effect, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water afterward.
