Helpful care tips
So you've undergone this expensive restorative procedure. The hairdresser gave his recommendations for maintaining the effect for a longer period. The following additional points will help you properly care for your hair at home.
- We wash our hair with sulfate-free shampoos and use a balm or conditioner from the same brand and series. It is recommended to wash your hair no more than 1-2 times a week. Apply shampoo to your head twice. The first is to wash away grease, the second is to cleanse dirt and dust.
- For washing we use cool water.
- Don’t walk around with wet hair for a long time: in the next 5 minutes after washing, pat your hair with a towel and dry it with a hairdryer.
- Do not comb wet hair. First, dry it with a hairdryer until the scales are covered, and then comb it.
- We comb our hair in a gentle way, that is, from ends to roots. We start combing from the bottom and gradually work our way up.
- It is advisable to use formulations for easy combing of hair based on natural oils. They will nourish and fill the hair with oil, which will extend the effect of Botox. It is better to use oils only at least a week after the procedure.
- Reduce to a minimum and, if possible, eliminate the use of styling products. Irons and hair dryers can continue to be used.
- If you dye your hair, it would be more advisable to do this a few days before restoring your hair with Botox. And after that, do not dye your hair until the next procedure. Like any other chemical, dye destroys hair and the substance with which it is filled.
- If you decide to use tinting shampoos, remember that they have a weaker effect compared to dyes. They can sometimes color your hair unevenly and will also significantly reduce the effect of “sealed” hair.
- Make strengthening and nourishing hair masks 1-2 times a week, add oils to them. They will help you take care of your hair. Argan, almond, coconut, jojoba oil are all recommended for frequent use. Can be used in its pure form: as a compress at night before washing your hair or as part of masks - for 1-1.5 hours.
- Initially, with dry and thin hair, even if all recommendations are followed, the result can last 2-3 weeks. However, as subsequent procedures are carried out, a cumulative effect will be created and the effect of Botox will last longer each time.

How to restore curls?
It's no secret that when filled with Botox, hair becomes heavier and shiny. Therefore, with curls, straightening of the curls may occur, which is not always desirable. In this case, you can use irons and hair dryers, curling irons and curlers. However, not earlier than 4 days after the procedure itself. You should still be prepared for the fact that the curl of the hair will be weaker, and the curl effect will be much less preserved. This is explained by the fact that the hair has become heavier, more moist and it is difficult for it to keep its shape for a long time.

What shampoo should I use?
It is allowed to use a detergent, in particular shampoo, that does not contain chemical elements included in the sulfate group. They also do not have a very beneficial effect on ordinary curls; if they are dry and brittle, then you should avoid sulfate-containing shampoos.
Sulfates have an aggressive effect on both the strands and the scalp, causing the following negative aspects:
- Exhausts curls.
- Aggressively affects hair follicles, destroying them.
- They irritate the top layer of the scalp and promote premature cell death.
- Dry the scalp, dehydrating it.
- They cause allergic reactions.
In addition, sulfates neutralize the effect of the botulinum toxin protein, thereby “destroying” the effect obtained from the Botox procedure. The difference can be felt after just 1 use of sulfate-containing shampoo - the curls will become less shiny and smooth.
