The reasons can be many, so the demand for procedures that promise complete hair restoration is growing.

Botox for hair from Estel Professional is a rather long procedure, in total it will take from two hours or more, depending on the length and density of the curls. Beautex products can be purchased only in specialty cosmetics stores.

Beautex includes 435ml Renovation sulfate-free shampoo. In addition to the absence of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in the composition, which often causes dry hair and scalp, Renovation differs from conventional shampoos in the content of polysaccharides. They are needed in order to gently cleanse the curls and reveal the scales before the serum is applied. Thus, it can act from the inside and fulfill the promises made by the manufacturer.

Active substances of the Clinic serum, which constitutes the "heart" of Beautex - these are amino acids, glyoxylic acid and a thermal protection complex. The serum restores curls from the inside. It also plentifully nourishes and evens out the hair structure, eliminates damage, and tightens the curls.

The Hidrolipid mask has an additional nourishing effect on the curls due to the lipid complex. Its purpose is to restore the lipid balance in the hair, to create a protective layer that prevents mechanical and thermal damage to the curls. The mask also contains a UV filter, which will provide hair protection from UV radiation.

Based on the promises of returning shine, smoothness, elasticity to hair, ensuring its density and restoring split ends, the following situations can be distinguished when botox can be used:

• to restore damaged hair, including to eliminate the effects of perms and dyes;
• for tired hair after winter;
• for fine and tangled hair, too frizzy hair;
• for hair that has lost shine and elasticity;
• for dry and brittle hair with split ends;
• for hair that is constantly being styled with a hairdryer, curling iron or iron, as well as when using styling products.

The indisputable advantages of the Beautex complex is hair improvement, which is visible even externally. After the procedure, the curls do not get confused and are easier to comb, shine and remain soft, silky and obedient for up to two months.

The long-lasting effect makes it possible to shorten the time it takes to make the hair look beautiful. The manufacturer promises that the effect can be prolonged by using special home care products from the same series.

The high price of both the Beautex complex products themselves and such a procedure in the salon are not to everyone's taste. Also, the time of the procedure seems to some unpleasantly long - from two hours or more.

If the hair is dyed, you need to be prepared for the fact that during the procedure, the curls may slightly change color. Therefore, you should not do botox immediately after staining. Likewise, do not apply makeup immediately after the procedure - the paint may simply not take.

Some people note that after Botox, the hair can become greasy faster. Therefore, owners of oily hair should think about whether to do such a procedure.

Instructions for use of the Beautex Estel Haute Couture complex are simple.

Before proceeding with hair restoration, you need to prepare it by first washing it with Renovation shampoo. The product is applied to the curls and foamed. But the foam does not need to be washed off immediately, but soak on the hair for 3 to 5 minutes. During this time, the active ingredients of the shampoo will cleanse the curls and reveal the scales. Then the product is thoroughly washed off with warm water.

When shampooing, no additional care or conditioning agents are used, otherwise the serum may not get into the hair structure and have no effect.

Before applying the serum, hair must be dried with a hairdryer without using combs. It will be optimal to leave the curls slightly damp.

Clinic Elixir is applied using protective gloves. For convenience, hair can be divided into zones, but this is not necessary. The serum is applied with an indent from the roots of about half a centimeter on small strands. It is important that the product covers the curls well, as ironing will follow. Lack of serum can lead to thermal burns.

The treated hair is wrapped in a foil and the Clinic is left to act for 40-50 minutes. The time can be reduced to 20-30 minutes if you use a dryer or climazon at a temperature of 40-50 ° C. After the holding time of the composition, the curls are dried with a hairdryer until dry.

The next stage of the procedure is to solder the serum into the hair. To do this, all the curls are processed in a row with an iron. It is important to do everything carefully and choose the right temperature regime depending on the type and condition of the hair:

• for thin and weak hair, as well as for blondes - 180 ° C;
• for normal and (or) colored hair - 210 ° C;
• for coarse and / or natural, undyed hair - 230 ° C.

Strands are taken no thicker than 0.5 cm and no wider than 5 cm. The curls are processed slowly, several times, from roots to ends. You cannot hold the iron on a strand for a long time. This is the most time consuming part of the entire procedure.

When the hair has been processed, you can proceed to the final stage - the application of the Hidrolipid mask. Before this, the curls cooled after ironing must be washed again using Renovation shampoo. It will wash away the remaining serum that has not been absorbed into the hairs. The mask is applied for 3-5 minutes and then washed off.

Everything does not end with the Botox procedure for hair, then you need to follow simple rules in order for the curls to delight with their appearance as long as possible. Experts recommend not washing your hair for the first 48 hours, and also not tying it in tails, pigtails and pinning it in any way using elastic bands, hairpins, and the like. Unpleasant creases may appear on the curls, which will disappear only when the serum is washed out of the hairs.

After Botox hair treatment, do not use regular sulfate shampoos. They will quickly wash the active substances out of the curls and return them to their original state. The Beautex Estel Haute Couture series contains shampoo and conditioner for subsequent care, but it is absolutely not necessary to use them. You can choose any sulfate-free shampoo and any care balm that will nourish or moisturize your hair.

Coloring before Botox should be done no later than two weeks, and after the procedure, it can be repeated again after two weeks.

Reviews of the procedure are quite contradictory and are divided approximately equally into positive and unsatisfactory.

Many users are satisfied with Botox for hair and willingly recommend it to others. Curls, according to such users, really become shiny and smooth, as the manufacturer claims. They are less confused and shuffled and look healthy and refreshed. The effect lasts for an average of two months.

In some reviews, those who have undergone the Botox procedure for hair claim that the effect promised by the manufacturer has not been achieved. There was no mirror shine, the split ends did not disappear, and the overall appearance of the hair did not change much after Botox.

There are reviews that describe a situation where the effect was quite obvious immediately after the procedure. However, after the first wash, he disappeared, the structure of the curls became more porous than it was before the Botox for hair.
