Botox at home: recipes for healthy hair

Composition of Botox and effectiveness of the technique

The decisive factors when choosing salon-level self-care products should be: the absence of harmful components in the composition and proven effectiveness.

Effective and safe preparations for treating hair with Botox at home include:

• Complex proteins botulinum toxin and intra-silane (penetrate inside the hair shaft and ensure the transport of nutrients);
• Hydrolyzed components elastin and collagen (fill empty space in the shaft, preventing fragility and stretching);
• Amino acids (strengthen the bulb, normalizing protein levels and water balance);
• Hyaluronic acid (provides deep hydration and restoration of hair structure);
• Lactic acid (accelerates metabolic processes);
• Natural oils (nourish and saturate the shaft with additional moisture);
• Nutrients - vitamins A, C, D, E (increases the immunity of hair follicles and resistance to external factors).

The positive effect is that such drugs:

• strengthens curls, makes them silky, soft and smooth;
• remove fluffiness;
• moisturize the bulbs and scalp;
• add volume to the hairstyle;
• add shine along the entire length.

As a result, the curls look well-groomed, just like after styling using an iron or even a strand extension procedure.

With caution, you need to carry out the hair Botox procedure at home if there is a malfunction of the body’s endocrine system. You should be prepared for side effects such as:

In this case, you should seek advice from a dermatologist and trichologist, and also refrain from repeating the procedure. The overwhelming majority of reviews from those who have tried this product do not contain negative impressions after manipulating their hair.

Straightening curls after the procedure

Any kind of procedure with hair after Botox, including shampooing, is performed no earlier than three to four days later. If the client has a desire to straighten the curls saved after the procedure, then it is better to do this no earlier than in a week or two.

1. An iron or curling iron will help smooth out unruly curls. These electrical appliances will quickly get rid of wavy hair, but not for long. In order not to harm your curls and not negate the expected effect of the procedure, you should use either devices with temperature control or steam treatment, and also do not forget about special thermal protective agents and lotions. It is necessary to limit the use of chemical compounds on hair, as well as its treatment with any straightening appliance.
2. To straighten your curls after Botox, you can also turn to smoothing agents. However, do not forget about using sulfate-free shampoo. The chosen product should not reduce the effect of the health procedure and special shampoo. In this regard, it is best to consult a specialist and, perhaps, refuse the smoothing agent for a certain time.

A one-time straightening will not harm your hair, but it is better to refrain from constantly straightening your curls. If the client is more comfortable with straight hair, then it would be best to use a different composition next time.

Botox is the best option for curly girls who want not only to treat their hair, but also to straighten it, make it silky and light. An irreplaceable advantage of Botox is the client’s freedom of choice - she has the opportunity to decide whether she wants to keep her curls or get rid of them for a while.
