Cold botox for hair: what is it, the difference from hot botox and the technology of execution
Beautiful and well-groomed hair is a sign of a real lady. Unfortunately, not all the fair sex can boast of the health and attractiveness of natural strands. Their quality is influenced by many external and internal factors: from health to ecology. Various cosmetics are used to restore hair and maintain its beauty. In this article, we will find out what cold botox for hair is, and we will analyze its effect in more detail.
Characteristic
Cold Botox is a restorative procedure that is performed using a set of special medications. These products contain active ingredients that make hair shiny and beautiful. If the work was carried out correctly, then the positive effect will be noticeable after several applications. Strands will become more manageable and elastic, as well as gain a healthy shine and strength.
The visual effect after a series of procedures can be compared to lamination. Botox has not only a regenerative but also a nourishing effect on the hair.
It also helps to get rid of dandruff, scalp redness, itching and other unpleasant symptoms.
The cold version of the cosmetic procedure has certain differences from the hot one, and is more popular. The second method of hair care is already considered outdated due to the fact that in the process of its implementation it is necessary to use a hair straightener. If you overexpose it a little or set it too high, you can cause severe damage to the strands.
Prolonged exposure to heat damages the hair and scalp. In addition, after the hot botox procedure, you should not wash your hair for three days.
