Well-groomed, he althy, with a beautiful color and shine, hair undoubtedly attracts attention. It is easy for owners of such a hairstyle to emphasize their own style, to express their individuality. But nature has not rewarded everyone with such a gift. According to studies and social surveys, every second person in the world has any problems associated with the he alth of curls. Most often complain of profuse hair loss, brittleness, dryness of the scalp. Modern cosmetology and dermatology offers a wide range of different methods of hair treatment. In particular, beauty clinics began to offer such a procedure as hair botox. What is it, what is the effect of this manipulation, what are its advantages and disadvantages - about this and not only in our material.
What is Hair Botox?
Let's note right away that the name of the procedure is purely a marketing ploy. It turns out that it has practically nothing to do with "beauty shots." Botox hair - what is it really? Let's try to figure it out. The fact is that the main activebotulinum is a component of Botox injections for the skin, while there is no such component in the hair serum. The procedure itself is also fundamentally different. But the principle of action of such funds is similar: the essence of the Botox procedure for both skin and hair is the targeted supply of nutrients.
Operation principle
If in “youth injections” useful substances are delivered to their destination thanks to botulinum molecules, then in Botox for hair this function is performed by such a component as intrasilam. This molecule, penetrating into keratin, changes its structure from linear to branched. Thanks to this ability, the components of the serum freely enter the tissues and linger there for a long period. As a result of a change in the structure of the molecule, the strands are straightened, fluffing and the effect of electrification are eliminated. Hair becomes smooth and shiny.
Botox contains components such as elastin, valuable amino acids, vitamin complex, hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils. All of these substances contribute to the restoration of damaged hair structure.
Indications for the use of Botox
Will this procedure suit everyone? In principle, anyone can do it, regardless of hair type. But under some conditions, Botox is recommended by cosmetologists and trichologists, namely:
- for split ends;
- brittleness;
- frequent coloring and perms;
- for dull, weak hair;
- to eliminate frizzy curls and straighten curls.
Botox for hair: consequences of application
We hasten to reassure: unlike the "injections of youth", the procedure for strengthening curls is carried out exclusively externally, which means it is quite safe. Regardless of the manufacturer of Botox, such a tool is not injected subcutaneously. Nevertheless, there have been cases of development of local allergic reactions. Usually, such a complication occurs with individual intolerance to the constituent components. The difficulty of treating such a condition lies in the fact that even before the onset of external symptoms of an allergy, substances have time to get deep into the tissues. Therefore, in such situations, a course of treatment is prescribed, aimed at eliminating the external manifestations of the disease.
It should also be noted that no clinical trials of the described agent have been conducted. Therefore, it is not recommended to use Botox for hair for pregnant and lactating women.
How is Botox for curls done?
Thinking about getting a Hair Botox treatment? What is it, how is it carried out, what are the risks? First of all, we emphasize that such a procedure is exclusively cosmetic and not medical in any way. The effect of such manipulation can be compared, for example, with hair lamination. The result will be noticeable for no longer than two months, after which a second procedure will be required.
How is such a cosmetic manipulation for the care of curls carried out?The procedure consists of several steps:
- Hair is thoroughly washed with a professional shampoo and then dried a little.
- The first layer of serum is applied along the entire length of the strand, without touching the roots, using the syringe included in the kit.
- Hair is treated with a fixing composition and dried according to the instructions.
- Beautiful, well-groomed, shiny curls are ready!
Depending on the brand of Botox, there may be some changes in the technique of such a procedure. For example, when using a product from Loreal, the final stage of the manipulation will be drying with hot air. And preparations of other brands need to fix substances in the hair tissues with the help of a special balm.
