Most people today are asking – “Hair Botox or Keratin treatment – which one I must try?” to get the best outcomes. To answer this question, you must understand the basics of both treatments and the differences between them. This post will lay down some reasons for choosing hair Botox or Keratin treatments for the unique needs of your hair.
Hair Botox
When it comes to achieving frizz-free locks and redo the effects of heat and stress, a chemical-free treatment of Hair Botox is recommended. No chemicals are involved to repair the damage, dullness, excessive dryness, and broken hair fibers.
Despite its name, this treatment doesn’t involve using botulinum toxins. This hair treatment is designed to reduce frizz, and revitalize lifeless strands, and dullness by recovering the lost nutrients, proteins, and vitamins. This process restores the natural elasticity and strength of the hair and provides essential deep hydration.
By infusing the hair with caviar oil, antioxidants, amino acids, collagen complex, wheat protein, and other necessary nourishing ingredients, the treatment results in smooth, easily manageable, frizz-free, and shinier hair.
Hair Keratin
Hair keratin is another hair treatment that is quite the buzz in the hair care industry. This treatment is a good choice if you want to get rid of frizz and get straight and smooth hair. According to beauty experts of a renowned unisex salon in Gurgaon – Grace and Glamour, 2/3 of human hair include keratin protein that erodes over time due to harsh products or chemical procedures, leaving pores or gaps in the shafts.
Keratin treatment or a Brazilian blow-dry treatment restores the lost keratin by filling in the porosity of the hair and restoring the correct structure. Mostly glyoxylic acid and formaldehyde are used to straighten the hair and provide easily manageable, sleek, and glossy strands in a short time. If your hair lacks proper growth and good health, go for keratin treatment.
Hair Botox vs. Keratin – Selecting the appropriate one for your hair
The selection of the right hair treatment is based on several factors including the following –
1. Purpose
The main aim of keratin treatment is to provide more manageable, smooth, straight, and stronger hair with a frizz-free finish, reducing styling time. Hair Botox, on the other hand, champions hydration and nourishment, and revitalize damaged scalp and hair by converting parched strands into a wellspring of moisture.
2. Safety and risks
Hair Botox is a chemical-free treatment thus it has no or very less possibility of any risks. It is considered safe as no harmful vapors are emitted from the products. Keratin treatment contains formaldehyde which can be harmful to the hair stylist and the client.
3. Longevity
The hair Botox process takes around 1.5 to 2 hours and shows its magic temporarily generally from some weeks to up to 2 months. Keratin treatment is done between 1-3 hours and results in straight and sleek hair that lasts for many months (up to 6 or more months based on hair types and ingredients used during treatment).
4. Hair health heroic
Keratin treatment strengthens the structural integrity of the hair by reducing breakage and improving overall hair health. Hair Botox, on the contrary, treats hair beyond surface-level improvements by going deep into the roots, refilling the strength of the hair.
5. Side effects
Keratin treatment due to its chemical content can cause skin and eye irritation. The use of formaldehyde can cause long-lasting harmful effects. Hair Botox has just one possible side effect of producing more oil from the scalp. Note that experts of Grace & Glamour Salon never recommend both treatments for expecting mothers.
