Hair Botox: Effectiveness and Common Misconceptions

Hair botox does not achieve full straightening in the way relaxing treatments do, but the results are significant when it comes to controlling frizz. After treatment, hair becomes less unruly and more manageable, appearing slightly smoother. It won't radically transform curly hair into perfectly straight hair, but it can be an excellent option for caring for your hair while enjoying a smoother texture.

For those of you who don’t know how to get your shiny hair back, we have good news: hair botox is here to help. This treatment is particularly suitable for damaged, dull, dry and frizzy hair, working deep within the hair to repair damage caused by various external aggressors. As such, it is recommended for women and men whose hair has been weakened by repeated colouring, straightening or bleaching, as well as for those who regularly blow-dry their hair or use heated straighteners.

One of the key benefits of hair botox is that it is not limited to a single hair type. It can add body to fine hair and play an essential role in rebuilding severely damaged hair, which will become less elastic following the treatment.

First of all, when your hair is dull or difficult to detangle, it’s a clear sign that your mane needs a boost to regain its health.

After a holiday spent between sun and swimming pool, hair botox can also be an excellent option for removing chlorine residue and revitalising your hair. In addition, ahead of the summer season, considering a hair botox treatment can help coat the hair fibre, protecting it from the effects of the sun and seawater.

Finally, before winter arrives, when cold, frost and humidity tend to damage hair, considering a hair botox treatment can be an excellent preventative measure to maintain healthy hair through the colder months.

In short, this versatile treatment can be adapted to different situations throughout the year.

The cost of a hair botox treatment can vary depending on several factors, notably geographic region and the length of your hair. Generally, you can expect to spend between €100 and €400 for a hair botox session at a hairdressing salon. However, there are also products available on the market for at home hair botox, which can be more affordable. Aroma-Zone offers a "rescue" elixir for damaged hair, a repairing treatment that gives your hair a second chance, restoring its beauty without having to cut it.

After receiving a hair botox treatment, it is essential to adopt an appropriate care routine to preserve the benefits of the treatment. In the first 24 to 48 hours following the treatment, it is strongly recommended to avoid using heat styling tools such as hair dryers and straighteners. This waiting period allows the hair botox ingredients to fully penetrate the hair shaft without risking irreversible damage from heat. You may, however, tie your hair back to keep it in place without subjecting it to excessive heat.

Additionally, it is important to note that it is best to avoid colouring your hair immediately after a botox treatment. It is recommended to wait at least two weeks before scheduling a colouring appointment. The heat associated with colouring can have adverse effects on recently treated hair. In general, take a gentle approach to hair care after a hair botox treatment, avoiding excessive heat and adhering to the recommended waiting period for other hair treatments.

Hair botox lasts between 8 and 12 weeks. The benefits of this treatment are often noticeable even beyond this period. To maintain healthy hair and preserve the revitalising effects, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every 3 months. This frequency helps to continue strengthening and caring for your hair, protecting it against external aggressors while maintaining its vitality and shine. However, frequency may vary depending on your hair type and specific needs.
